I wander as I ponder……
To honor the day {March 15th}, I offer a fellow Xangonian’s phrase….as they say, in Simpsonian, “Beware the Eyes of Marge”. I love this stuff. I have some favorite song lyrics that also qualify, you know, like; “In A Gadda Da Vita”, or, “…..the girl with colitis goes by…”. I forget what they’re called, but they are usually cute, and maybe even clever, and always misconscrewed.
There’s the Christmas one about that mean, extra reindeer, Olive…..as in..”Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names.”
My mother had a few favorites that were sort of church/religion based…like…the one about the fat little kid you see in some Nativity scenes…”Round John Vergen”…or, the call to arms for the flamboyant terrapin…”Lead on, O Kinky Turtle”. I would guess that her all time favorite, was that cuddly lil’ Biblical toy, “Gladly, The Cross-eyed Bear”
A few years ago, someone pointed out to me that God has a first name. I was pleased to find out that it’s Andy…as in…”…Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am His own…” {I always did love that hymn}. I have even taken to calling him by this name when we talk. He likes it. He’s got a great sense of humor….just look at the Moose !
Well, those are my offerings for the day…you probably know some more.(….and, what are they called ?…)

the rule in my family has always been, “if the lyrics of a song can be perverted, they must be.”
ryc: thank *you*.
i thought it was *Howard be thy name*?

@cestmoe - i’v caught myself singing -* Don we know, and some guy named harold
falalalalalalalala
Just look at the platypus too. Andy is a funny guy.

I adore Andy, look at all the wonderful things he gave us to practice our sense of humor on….perfect example, humans, aren’t we ridiculous?
ummm
errrrr
damn
can’t think ofany
I’d heard of Gladly the cross-eyed bear, but that Kinky Turtle was new to me! LOL!
I’d say they’re parodies. There’s a gorup that does whole songs like that.
May St. Peter grant you access to the pearly gates a half hour before the Devil knows you’re dead. That way, you’ll see the streets of Heaven paved with the famous “Orien Tar”.
we always introduced the rolling Stones song with…. “I used to kiss my baby on the lips, but ITS ALL OVER NOW”
Well, these are puns aren’t they?
Unless you’re thinking of malapropisms? Or maybe I’m thinking of malapropisms (had to look up the spelling), I actually looked something up today, thank you!
Anyhow, these are all new to me, because no one in my family is religious at all. That’s not true. but they don’t have a sense of humor about it. I doubt Andy would approve. Or Howard.
don’t make me kick your punk ass, woman. cause i will. POSSIBLY.
I’ll have to talk to Andy tonight!!! You are always thinking.RYC: So far so good with my son.Jenessa still isn’t back to work,she’s to weak yet.Husband talked to the lady in charge of the health center and she said that they were doing what was best for the patient.(yeah right) and that if he gets sick to bring him back in (what?so we can pay for another office visit?) And in the mean time Shippensburg Univeristy will be exposed to mono.My husband informed her that she won’t have to worry about us returning because we took our business elsewhere! I also plan on writing to the company that this health center is connected with.(I’m not one for causing problems but mess with my children and that’s a different story)
