He took his vorpal sword in hand


Just though I would post cus I am feeling rather random today.

Maybe cus I have been looking through Andre Jordans site (http://www.andrejordan.co.uk/) and he is really random.

Maybe cus my sister just reminded me about "The one-eyed, one Horned, purple people eater" which made me consider nonsense, which explains the title btw (Quote from The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.

Or Maybe it cus I have the Dentist today and as usually am bricking it quite severely!!!!

For those of you who don't know me I am quite a random person, who sometimes does thing for no apparent reason, and thinks really random things.

The The one-eyed, one Horned, purple people eater was something I remember fondly from my childhood. For those of you that don't know, it was a song by Sheb Wooley but what I remember was the one by Alvin and The Chipmunks, and is Monster the whilst looking quite vicious only eats purple people, this is because any other type of people are too tough. It was also made into a film, but I can remember many holiday trips, annoying my parents to death with that song on cassette (yes before CDs and MP3s I am really that old!) heres a link to the song if you too would like to be annoyed by it The one-eyed, One Horned, Purple People Eater.

Wasn't life soooo much better when you were a child, no worries about Council Tax, Phone Bills and Gas ans Electric Prices and you had never heard of the words, Credit Crunch or Recession.

Obviously that piece of nonsense made me thing of my favorite nonsense poem The Jabberwocky, again I loved this poem when I was a kid, I wont put all of it on here, go look for it yourself if you want to. On the over hand if anyone can work out what a Vorpal Sword is and what the hell Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, it would be appreciated. I would love to pull out my Vorpal Sword and Slay the Jabberwocky but alas I am a wuss and would probably run away.

Oh another tangent have you ever heard the words to the British National Anthem in full, not just the slow dirge "God save our Gracious Queen", we sound like blood thirsty maniacs, not that I have any problem with God saving the Queen, I am sure she is a nice lady, who likes Corgis, but really!

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!


I quite like Scotland and have no desire to crush them, personally I think "Singing in the Rain" would be a more appropriate Anthem and alot more god-dammed cheerful.

I digress from the weird and wonderful insights into my head.

Pain and crushing people now leads me on to the Sadist oops I mean the Dentist! You really have to be some sort of Sadomasochist to be a Dentist through really. Who would choose a profession that involved putting your hands in someones mouth and then drilling at it with power tools!!!
Another thing whats with the Pink yucky water they make you drink! whilst half your face is numb, so you dribble the whole contents down yourself looking like you have just had a stroke!

Why do they try and talk to you as well! Cus obviously you can answer with there hand in your gob!!!! In those sort of situation you don't want to talk you just want to close your eyes and get it over with.

Its like gynecologists, no sorry while I am in the most embarrassing position I will ever be in my life I don't want you asking if I had a good weekend, or If I have been on holiday, can they tell from down there!!!! It should be a rule no talking aloud, a bit like a library, with less shushing and hopefully less people as well.

Oh well thats enough of that for now need to go and face the music, and let the Sadistic little woman put her hands in my mouth and try not to choke me, and me to try not to bite her!!

Hope these ramblings cheered up your day

:)

  1. Well, I do have a sword and if we took Fally along with us he could walk circles around it and confuse it - he's quite good at that !
