Ah, my favorite all time musical (Les Mis)... don't mind that earworm, although it's gonna require a lot more Q-tips to push Hamilton out of my head.DrTom wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 10:35 pmWow, be careful what you wish for. I said I needed to get rid of "Twinkle, Twinkle - ABC - BAH BAH - etc." and Joe Ross sent me "It's a Small World After All"!!! In the words of Daffy Duck, "You're deshpicable". I have pushed BirdLives's Q-Tip entirely through to the other side and I can still hear the little people sing (and it is not the song of angry men, nor the music of a people who will not be slaves to a META again!)
Well then you'll recognize this slightly modified prelude to our own "Les Miserables":Al Sisti wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:17 pmAh, my favorite all time musical (Les Mis)... don't mind that earworm, although it's gonna require a lot more Q-tips to push Hamilton out of my head.DrTom wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 10:35 pmWow, be careful what you wish for.

Really clever, and you definitely had me singing it/them in my head... nice job!DrTom wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 9:49 amWell then you'll recognize this slightly modified prelude to our own "Les Miserables":Al Sisti wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:17 pmAh, my favorite all time musical (Les Mis)... don't mind that earworm, although it's gonna require a lot more Q-tips to push Hamilton out of my head.DrTom wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 10:35 pmWow, be careful what you wish for.

Look down, look down
Look down and then across
The clue is there
I think that I’m just lost…
I dreamed a dream of weeks gone by
When I had solved the META problem
No taking hints upon the sly
My friends; did not involve them....
Master of the grid, keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve 'em of a soul or two
Toughening up the clues, making up the weight
Pickin' on their brain cells til they can't see straight
Everybody loves a crossword
Everybody's secret drug
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! They won’t ever get a mug!...
This is awesome! I love it!!DrTom wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 9:49 amWell then you'll recognize this slightly modified prelude to our own "Les Miserables":

Sir Andrew probably couldn't care less. This one is by Schönberg and Boublil, who also did "Miss Saigon;" my second favorite musical. They also wrote one called "Martin Guerre," which -- except for Kismet -- might be the worst musical ever. Wel-l-l, maybe "Cannibal: The Musical," by the creators of South Park.
How did I ever miss Cannibal: the Musical?! I am definitely checking that out...Al Sisti wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 1:44 pmSir Andrew probably couldn't care less.

I have a sister, Mary, but she can't carry a tune in a bucket.
I love to break into song, but several have pointed out that if I had the right key I wouldn't have to break in.....
