Disregard...

[BrucePowers]

What were we talking about again......

[pasternakski]

Well, the salons of Paris
Swelled with revolutionary sympathies,
And war had faded into
A not-so-threatening memory.
So, Boney found it easy to disturb
Their intellectual reverie
And talk them into believing
That the state was he.

Do you think anyone remembers us from the boulevard
Where we braved that whiff of grapeshot
Coming down from the Tuileries?
And swore to each other
We'd live our lives in total disregard
Of the dangers that come with being truly free.


Forget I said that...

[Gem35]

Disregard this.[:D][:D]

Is that yours Pasternakski, or a quote from something else?

It's from one of my forgettable songs that ought to be disregarded.

It draws a parallel from Napoleon, Lenin, and Martin Luther King by the time I'm done performing it and look up to see that my audience has become completely disgusted and left.

Never mind.

[BrucePowers]

I find the quote you used interesting.

I have always found it interesting that the French went monarchy to revolutionary committee to emperor.

[BrucePowers]

And then back to monarchy.

Steve. This is the disregard thread. You gotta stop rememberin' stuff. Me, I'm almost 60 and don't have a memory anymore, so I don't have that problem.

Unnamed poster: "Hey, Pas, how much memory you got on your computer?"
Pas: "I got a computer?"

With recent studies suggesting that our memory isn't really affected by age - it's just that the older you get the more crap you have to sift through to bring back that particular memory - those of us WITPers are probably in worse shape than most since we all have so much in the way of esoteric crap filed into our memories...

"Honey, did you mail the insurance payment?"

"Yes, dear, I shipped it off to Noumea yesterday."

"You shipped it where????"

[BrucePowers]

I usually ship mine to Timor[:D]
