Got something to say, toughguy?
This is my blog wherein I, Dana Guthrie Martin, write things and stuff. Most of the time, writing and I hobble along in a sort of three-legged race where there is no finish line. (more...)
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. — Elie Wiesel

And she will have her servant monkeys hunt you down and cut your hands off so you can never copy, distribute, transmit or adapt anyone’s work again and call it your own.
(Unless, of course, you were to use your butt cheeks to manipulate your keyboard with the copying, distributing, transmitting, adapting and whatnot, but Dana fortunately has only met one person whose butt cheeks are that talented. He could play a major third on a piano using nothing but his ass. She kids you not.).

It’s been done! Fred Dagg aka John Clark, a New Zealand comedian, wrote a wonderful song in tribute to gumboots or wellies as the Brits call them.
This contest is not half as silly as the one I saw advertised in the UK last year, where the theme was “Better Customer service in Shropshire”
Catherine, I remember that contest! Didn’t you enter it, or did I Just goad you to enter it?
I’m not sure where my earlier comment went but I posted this link:

Apparently John clarke modified a song by Billy Connolly which can also be found on the internet.
I think you did suggest I entered that contest but by the time I mentioned it on my blog we had returned to NZ and it had been over for a couple of weeks. Besides, “better customer service in Shropshire” doesn’t really inspire me poetically
It doesn’t???
No… who’d a thought it?
Heh.
