My Daughter's a Doper!

I’m not on her left, I’m behind . . . don’t tell!!

But I do flirt a decent amount, and if you get AIM . . . well, I can flirt more there. Wouldn’t you agree, ssskuggiii?

And definitely don’t post to the pit asking to be flamed. That’s just stupid.

Greetingts, Card Captor Sakura! Just don’t let that annoying little familiar of yours in here…

Sakura, Sakura (Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms)

This is a VERY old and traditional Japanese song. Taught to young children and rather somber in tone (using a minor key), it speaks of the beauty of nature, as the singer beckons her friends to join her in going cherry-blossom viewing in the Spring.
Sakura, Sakura (Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms)
Yayoi no sora wa mi-watasu kagiri (As long as I gaze upon this the spring sky)
Kasumi ka kumo ka, (There is mist and clouds)
nioi-zo izuru. (Fragrance in the air)
Iza ya! Iza ya! (Let us go! Let us go!)
Mi ni yukan. (Let us go to see)

Sakura, Sakura. (Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms)
Mire-domo akanu, mi-yama no nagame. (Look – we can never tire of the view of mountain valleys)
Tomodachi-tsurete, (so take your friends along)
tamoto o soroe. (Dressed in your fineries)
Iza ya! Iza ya! (Let us go! Let us go!)
Mi ni yukan. (Let us go to see)

Spawn of Dave…
That’s awesome. You should sig that, y’know?

And good thing you decided to never go in the Pit. I myself stay away from that dreadful place, and I -

<thunder crashes, the stench of brimstone is in the air>

Coldfire: Heccubus! Return unto me!

Lexicon: Yes, master.

<Lex disappears in a clap of imploding air and darkness>

PS - Baglady, I think I’ve heard that song at the beginning of an anime…
And since (if?) you know Japanese, can you help me? I am looking for some Japanese characters, if they even exist for what I have in mind. Can you tell me where I could research this?

Welcome, Sakura! Glad to have you. I know Dave won’t like it, but do you mind if I corrupt you? (Although it won’t just be me, but more of a joint effort of multiple members of this board)

iampunha - I resent that…I’m there often enough.

Hello Sakura,
Sorry for giving your father the beating of a lifetime in the Barfight, but he deserved it. yeah, thats a good excuse…

and your sig is cool…

Hi Sakura! Welcome! And I promise not to corrupt you, but I do have something I’d like to show you. So if you’ll just step over here, out of sight from your dad… heheheheheh…

Sakura

If I were 25 years younger, I would probably join in currupting you. No, wait…you wouldn’t have been born yet. Never mind.

Welcome, have fun.

OH. MY. GAWD!!!

Baglady, THANK YOU for mentioning the song and writing out the lyrics. I used to sing this song when I was a kid, and had totally forgotten about it! Oh my, I’m printing this part out…

Your father is one of the more knowledgeable and respected posters on this board (no, I’m not going to name the ones I think are ignorant and stupid). He’s very knowledgeable about Shakespeare and sports, which makes him a near deity in my book.

Do him proud! And welcome again!

DRY, thanks for the kind words. And Sakura is also a Shakespeare and baseball maven (I brought my kids up right, goldurn it!)

John Larrigan, she says that you beating me up merely makes up for all the times I didn’t get her a pony. Besides, I guess I was asking for it. What kind of a man stops and asks directions?

Thanks for your kind words, folks.

My god! I have a friend who sings this at lunch! I swear. I just never put the two together - my name & the song. Cool.

Not at all. I like to think I’m already more than slightly corrupted but go ahead.

Thanks for posting the lyrics, Baglady! We used to sing that song in Girl Scouts. I immediately thought of it when I say Sakura’s username, but couldn’t remember the words.

Welcome to the board Sakura, I think I’ll just sit back and watch the fur fly :wink:

Welcome, Shakura. Remember, don’t ask about feltching or squicking. You may think you want to know what they are. You really, really, REALLY don’t. No kidding. And sharing embarrassing pictures/stories about your dad is heartily encouraged. Now is the time for vengence, little blossom.
