BTW, am I the only one who is singing the thread title like the Rolling Stone’s “Get Off of My Cloud”?
Nope.
Once you try RO bashing, you’ll never go back…lashing.
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.
Nope. I thought that was intentional, but I could be wrong.
Who am I kidding, I’m never wrong.
Yep
OK, now it’s starting to look like the Vietnam War.
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.)
No royalty check necessary. Just a cite to your “acorns to oak” post elsewhere *with pictures * will suffice.
You guys are too quick on the RO trigger, relax.
Yeah, I agree. I yield to no one in my yawny reaction to RO threads, but this one doesn’t seem to qualify.

Nope. I thought that was intentional, but I could be wrong.

It was intentional. I had an ear worm today.

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.

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.

Now, see, I **was ** about to wax all indignant and ask you just what kind of queen you think I am, but I’m sure that, having read the post you cited, you know doggone well what kind of queen I am!
So…I reckon that what I ought to say is this: Be careful what you ask for, 'cause you never know what kind of oaks will sprout up in your inbox.
