Droll:
G, I once convinced a friend the line in that song was "I might sink a little drink and shout out JUBILEE!" My entire defense was "He was a 70's bisexual glam rocker. Which sounds more plausible?" I won him over instantly. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 9:45pm
G:
There's one born every minute, Dan'l :-) Thank ungod we're not the one. :-) | |
Sat. 12/22/12 9:47pm

I guess the proper term for that is "faux mondegreen practical joke." | |
Sat. 12/22/12 9:57pm
G:
I'll be listening, gotta get off the kb somewhat for now, so's I can pack to drive to family stuff tomorrow. Key must enter ignition at 6:45 AM. No time to pack in the morning... | |

fred von helsing:
the "ü" tells me it's not finnish, it's parbly estonian | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:07pm
G:
@Droll: OK, I'll call it faux. :-) That was just Elton striving to be topical by adopting for one song the Taupin-created lyrical persona of an aggro yob of the type well known in the UK in the early 70s. Aggro yobs shout out "She's with me!!!" and not "JUBILEE!!!" a la Liberace or something... :-) EJ (Reggie) is my homey and I gotta speak up on his behalf -- he played my high school gym to benefit the yearbook early in the Yellow Brick Road tour... Back to the pack task | |

but "kääpiö" is def finnish, = dwarf | |

Sat. 12/22/12 10:20pm
Droll:
G, Right, EJ playing a ruffian is "Jubilee" is the same way MJ's "Bad" isn't "Bääd". The 70's EJ isn't a problem for me, but the milquetoast 90's and later stuff is much lower than Phil Collins' work of the same era. | |

Droll:
. o O ( The new Scott Walker is way fresher than that noise kids make today ) G, I just remembered (listened to Irwin's show via archives). 9c1 * 9c1 * 8c1 = 648 possible comment quiz answers. Like you and Matt noted, the first two digits are 1-9, and the last digit must add to no more than 9 without using 0, meaning it's 1-8. 9*9*8=648 possible answers. | |

Sat. 12/22/12 10:27pm
Uncle Michael:
D., I have it. I just haven't devoted a lot of listening time to it, so that when I hear a track on FMU, it's still very fresh to me. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:28pm
Krys O.:
Scott Walker's The Drift was a good'un too | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:29pm
G:
648, glad someone can do that math. :-) I do logic more than hardcore math, and would have had to figure it out from scratch laboriously. :-) Still more fun than packing. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:29pm
Uncle Michael:
Been all the way through it only once. It's not as scary as The Drift. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:30pm

@Uncle Michael: Bish Bosch has a very peculiar timing and logic, enjoy it! | |

Ike:
Yeah DB, the Port Authority is ridiculous. Who ever imagined the MTA would do such a vastly better job post-Sandy? Time for the PATH to be given to the MTA! I'm sure at least they'd run a late-night shuttle bus while repairing signals. All PATH riders who are on Twitter should harass the P.A. at @PATHtweet endlessly. | |

ahem...may i, as a rider for almost 30 years, show some path love? c'mon, guys, really? aside from the odd hurricane direct hit, it's generally more reliable than the friggin' F train. :P :)) | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:38pm
PATH:
Yeah, you guys are meanies sniffsniff | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:39pm

Hey wait a minute what did FMU stand for again ? It wasn't Fairly Ridiculous U (Rutherford?). It was in Montclair. | |

I recommend swimming, in a pinch | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:40pm
Ike:
@Jack the F train runs all night!!! What are you smoking!?!?! I'd give my left arm for an apt. in Kensington or someplace off the F lately! Countless late-night types are bailing on Jersey because of this CRAP. Supposed to be 24/7 service, where is our #@$$%! shuttle bus!?!? Sorry, I'm a bit sore about this. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:41pm
Ken:
Let's not forget bicycles, people. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:42pm
Droll:
Ike, Is there some technical or safety reason they don't run the PATH trains at night, or are they just testing people's patience as part of a giant social experiment? | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:44pm
fred von helsing:
They are waiting for the mutations. You think the storm didn't find some EPA sites ? | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:44pm
PATH:
I get so sleepy by 11, I just watch the local news while drifting off in my lovely comfy bed at home..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:44pm
Ike:
Droll, they're repairing signals & other equipment. (During the day, they're operating signals manually, whatever that means.) But they are so uncommunicative that you could easily assume it's a social experiment. | |

Sat. 12/22/12 10:52pm
PATH:
Post-Sandy the MTA head Lhota could be the next NYC mayor. Our intrepid PATH leadership will be the next big-pension retirees. Happy happy joy joy! | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:55pm
jack m.:
my point: aside from this current crazyass situation, the path normally runs all night and is as, if not more, reliable than the ny subway system (and also smells less of pee.) and on that note, merry xmas!! :)) | |
Sat. 12/22/12 10:57pm
PATH:
Yeah, new slogans we are focus grouping: PATH: Our P Does Not Stand For Piss Just Get Home By 9 to Play It Safe, You Little People. Have a Nice Day! | |

Sat. 12/22/12 11:07pm
Ike:
Jack, I bet the MTA has never failed to offer service on any particular subway line past 10 p.m. for months in a row w/o a shuttle bus. Not acceptable. You should be outraged & bugging the P.A. about it. | |
Sat. 12/22/12 11:10pm
