    post 4019....
    it's been a fun trip.... This ones Deadicated to us..... They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors Mortatone is in town Here comes Mayor Klangstone and Mad Swan Disease... His custom amps got them in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in their pants And Oat Willie and Pam who says hi are restless They need somewhere to go As Pupper and I look out tonight From Desolation Row. Katniss, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles :-) And puts her hands in her back pockets Tom Hanlon style....nice hat brah! And in comes Devil's Friend, he's moaning "You belong to Me I Believe" And Totem says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend You better leave" And the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Stanley sweeping up tonight On Desolation Row. Now the moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide Holly and OzarkMatt Have even taken all their camping gear inside All except for Cain74 and Abel And the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is either making love Or else expecting rain And Bob Loblaw, he's dressing He's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row. Now StellaMoon, she's 'neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Jerry's great rainbow ASL just spends her time peeking Into Desolation Row. Boo469 disguised as Kurt009 With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk and kids in tow... He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet You would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row. rrrrgrrrr, he keeps his world Inside of a coffee cup But all his sexless patients They're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on penny whistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row. Across the street they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the pic-a-nic geophantomoftheoperameister In a perfect image of a priest They're spoonfeeding Bobby69 To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words And Graceful is shouting to skinny girls "Get outa here if you don't know" Tfonts is just being punished for going To Desolation Row. At midnight all the Dreamers..... And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To Desolation Row. Praise be to Gobs black Licorice Ba dus sails at dawn Spascarella's shouting "Which side are you on ?" And Miller's horse and mkav Fighting in the captain's tower While Geeky just laughs at them And Roadking just holds flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About Desolation Row. Yes, I received your letter yesterday About the time the door knob broke When you asked me how I was doing Was that some kind of joke ? All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, we're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name Right now I can't read too good Dont send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them from.... the Sunshine Daydreamers subforum....

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
