Re: Official Countdown Thread

Congrats to Mr. Hines! As the proud father of a soon-to-be 2 year old daughter, I have to say Jake has been truly blessed.

**Side note - everytime my daughter sees a picture of a bunny, she says "Go Jackrabbits!". And she sleeps with her stuffed Jackrabbit "Jack". There are important things in life to teach your kids and then there are the Really Important things.

I have 2 daughters, one is three years old and the other 17 months. They both sleep with stuffed SDSU Jackrabbits and cheer "Go Jackrabbits" at every sporting event we attend. Vikings, Twins, Wolves, or SDSU.

In case you don't understand the reference, just sing along . . .


And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

We'd like to know a little bit about your for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids.

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.
Jotting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey hey hey.

Re: Official Countdown Thread

Actually, it's widely believed that with the koo-koo-kachoo line in Mrs. Robinson, Paul Simon was riffing on John Lennon:

I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

. . . (lyrics snipped for copyright/fair use reasons)

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don’t you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I’m crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.
Goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob g’goo


I think in the context given, our esteemed friend GSUsTalon was saying that a) he is the walrus and/or b) what he was saying was nonsense and had no meaning whatsoever and/or c) he is Pete Best, the drummer the Beatles fired before picking up Ringo.

Followups for those who care to the Smack section, please.
