I like the POTM Light idea, Archer, but can we set up some guidelines on what an appropriate humerous post is? Damien turned out to be a spammer, and I followed his trail back to the origin of his e-mail. Explore this site for some humor. You wil find that Mr. Mackey is quite involved promoting literature, if we can call it that. I never knew that the Catholics had loons as well as the Bobbleheads! Edited by AdminPhat, :

"So I said to myself, 'Self, ... '"(Arlo Gutherie) Made me laugh, I don't know, must have been the context.

It's been a couple decades, but I think it was part of his pickle song on the flip side of the "Alice's Restaurant" album.
I don't want a pickle.Just want to ride on my motorcickle. Goes to show how long some of us have to wait to use a line we've heard. I'm still waiting to be able to use a Redd Foxx line I heard 35 years ago: "I swear to God and three other white men." Edited by dwise1, : addendum {When you search for God, y}ou can't go to the people who believe already. They've made up their minds and want to convince you of their own personal heresy. ("The Jehovah Contract", AKA "Der Jehova-Vertrag", by Viktor Koman, 1984) Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the world. (from filk song "Word of God" by Dr. Catherine Faber, No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.echoschildren.org/CDlyrics/WORDGOD.HTML) Of course, if Dr. Mortimer's surmise should be correct and we are dealing with forces outside the ordinary laws of Nature, there is an end of our investigation. But we are bound to exhaust all other hypotheses before falling back upon this one.(Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles) Gentry's case depends upon his halos remaining a mystery. Once a naturalistic explanation is discovered, his claim of a supernatural origin is washed up. So he will not give aid or support to suggestions that might resolve the mystery. Science works toward an increase in knowledge; creationism depends upon a lack of it. Science promotes the open-ended search; creationism supports giving up and looking no further. It is clear which method Gentry advocates.("Gentry's Tiny Mystery -- Unsupported by Geology" by J. Richard Wakefield, Creation/Evolution Issue XXII, Winter 1987-1988, pp 31-32)

As I may have have posted before, I think it is about time Arlo (or someone else) revise the great "Presidential Rag" song, originally about Nixon: Presidential Rag lyrics by Arlo Guthrie - original song full text. Official Presidential Rag lyrics, 2022 version | LyricsMode.com
"Nobody elected your family,And we didn't elect your friends, No one voted for your advisors, And nobody wants amends, You're the one we voted for, so you must take the blame, For handing out authority to men who were insane" Does this sound any bit familiar? Edited by Lithodid-Man, : wrote 'some' instead of of 'someone' in first sentence "I have seen so far because I have stood on the bloated corpses of my competitors" - Dr Burgess Bowder

I can't remember which PBS program I heard it on (Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! perhaps? Fresh Air?) but Mr. Guthrie, A had a theory about the Nixon tapes.
It turns out that the amount of time of absolute silence on the Watergate tapes is exactly the same length as "Alice's Restaurant Massacree." Thus, he thinks that Nixon was just listening to his song (Nixon did own a copy) and he erased it lest anybody find out that he was listening to such a liberal hippie like Mr. Guthrie, A. Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
