[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] BTW, am I the only one who is singing the thread title like the Rolling Stone’s “Get Off of My Cloud”? [/QUOTE] I’ve had that song playing in my head for the last few minutes, but I had no idea where I picked it up from. Now I do. ---

[QUOTE=Li’l Pluck] I’ve been saying the same thing for years, just not in those words. I really like your version, though, and I may have to co-opt it. (Yeah, the royalty check is in the mail.) 😉 [/QUOTE] No royalty check necessary. Just a cite to your “acorns to oak” post elsewhere \*with pictures \* will suffice. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=August West] You guys are too quick on the RO trigger, relax. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I agree. I yield to no one in my yawny reaction to RO threads, but this one doesn’t seem to qualify. ---

[QUOTE=foolsguinea] OK, _now_ it’s starting to look like the Vietnam War. [/QUOTE] Not quite. The added incentive of self-interest isn’t present in the protesters like it was in draft-era Vietnam. ---

Sad day. Just some street fightin’ man who saw a red door and wanted to paint it black, cause you can’t alway get what you want. Or maybe it was his 19th nervous breakdown. Come on, nothin’ a Honkytonk Woman can’t fix. What a shame! Its all over now, but he’s gotta get away if he wants to shout “I’m Free”! He’s off the hook, but this better be the last time. ---

[/QUOTE] That sucked. But it’s not your fault, it’s just that I can’t get no satisfaction. Objectively speaking, it’s alright. Yes in fact it’s a gas. ---
