The point of that "I've seen fire and I've seen rain" thread ? . . .

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I can’t resist wondering what’s the point of that thread. But I’ll ask here in a separate thread lest it would be outright threadshitting to ask in that thread.

Everybody’s just posting little snippets of lyrics of various songs, for over 500+ posts now. (At eleven pages, I don’t even remember now if I did too. I remember posting a snippet of “White Bird” somewhere recently.)

(NOT to be confused with the separate thread started today, Hell visits the Pacific Northwest (fire thread), in which people really ARE seeing fire and some rain, with lots of smoke as well.)

When I was young I’d listen to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along, it made me smile
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
listen

Some things have no point.

4

Simple fun.

Does it have to be more?

5

Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can’t imagine why
We’ve all got time enough to cry

“A point in every direction is the same as no point at all.”

It’s in Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share. Does it have to have a point?

8

Yea what they said!!(pointless and fun)…how can you lose?

9

shouldn’t it really be in Thread Games, like Trivia Dominoes and One Word?

10

It’s been suggested twice (?).

11

In MPSIMS, it gets a much wider audience than the six people who hang out in Thread Games.

Instead of making love, we play Thread Games.

I can’t even count how many times I’ve gotten the earworm just from reading the forum title.

14

Just you and me, baby
Thread Games
I can’t take it any more

15

We’re born. We exist a while. We die. What’s the point of all that?

16

So what?

Anyway, it developed organically, so that’s probably why it wasn’t moved the first time.

17

I guess the implication there is that Thread Games is the ghetto of this particular board. :confused:

Note we already have a song lyric thread there that has been going for over two years. Would a bunch of people really bail on this thread if it was moved there?

18

Ghetto??? I think of it as our exclusive seaside resort. :cool:

19

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor, little baby child is born in the ghetto.

Aaah, our very own Fawlty Towers then?
