I can dream too..
Yes it is I, missing earthly food, drink and pills...but the song remains the same. Greeting Wax, and a hubba hubba hubba.(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 3:51:05 pm)
The King:
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrawise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
More was seen through a sternlight screen
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Dr GB:
Elvis is in hell?
(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 4:56:01 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Come on GB. You know he is. He died on the toilet from an overdose. That's seventeenth on the list.
(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 4:57:36 pm)
Chewing Wax:
And he ran a string of underage male prostitute houses.

Dr GB:
Oh yeah. I still think of him in his youngster on a beach in shorts stage. Not his bloated dead on a toilet stage. Ah. Happy days. Bye Wax. See you tomorrow.

hello folks. what exactly did i miss? not sure.
(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 6:16:24 pm)
Chewing Wax:
You missed nothing at all. I missed you. Where the hell were you? This place was dead without your drunken antics.
(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 7:12:03 pm)
Myk Murphy:
i appreciate your sentiment on the matter. i was off discovering how damn near impossible it is to install stereo equipment in my new vehicle. a cruel twist of fate. i may actually have to pay professionals to install stuff into my car, which offends me, since i do this sort of thing.
(Mon Jan 17, 2000 - 7:45:46 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I hear yah bud. It's a brave new world. Professionals are taking over the whole place. I'm even thinking of having someone come in and install a new boiler pump for my auxilary furnace.

Chewing Wax:
The beauty is you can sue the hell out of them when they fuck it up. That's my plan anyhow.
