St. Jimmy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 "The time has come," The Walrus said, "To speak of other things. Like shoes and ships and ceiling wax, and cabbages and kings! And while the sea is boiling bright, and weather pigs have wings, kaloo kalay we're off today! Like Cabbages and Kings!" Sorry, but I had to express myself. I love that little song thing.

Well here's another clue for you all, The walrus was Paul." Such an inspiring album...well, for the Manson Family at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jimmy Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 So, apart from Ave, no-one has heard this song/thing? WTF? It's only one of the coolest old school songs of all time. @ Ave: I'm pretty sure that it was made before the movie 'Alice in Wonderland' But yes, that is the song I'm talking about.

DarthAve Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I always liked that song from the flowers in the garden better. But my favorite was the rabbit's song. "I'M LATE! I'M LATE! FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE! NO TIME TO SAY HELLO, GOODBYE, I'M LATE! I'M LATE! I'M LATE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchythesamurai Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Have any of you read the book, Alice in Wonderland? It's really quite good. I'd recommend you a book, but you are entirely too young. Wait a couple years before you start reading Alan Moore if you ever decide to do.

Miss_Mayhem Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Alice in Wonderland and Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass are longer and use a somewhat outdated form of English, but the description and the rhymes sprinkled throughout it are alot of fun I wouldn't say it was darker than the movie though. The movie had more modern english and was slightly more sanitized, but the story was originally intended for children. If you want dark children's novels, read the original Grimm fairy tales (cinderella's sisters cut off parts of their feet so they would fit in the shoes). As for authors on drugs ... Edgar Allan Poe has some brilliant peices, and it's thought that he was on opium when he wrote them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah Poe was into Laudanum I think, which was basically a medical mixture of alcohol and opium. It's still legally available on prescription, though I would imagine that it's almost never proscribed for anyone. As for books written under the influence that I like... well, as far as I know it's impossible to write anything whilst 'on' LSD or any other psychedelic, but almost everything by Ernest Hemingway, and Hunter S. Thompson's 'The Rum Diary' absolutely reek of alcohol. I love those two authors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Mayhem Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you were high though, you wouldn't be 'sane' enough at the moment to type or record yourself. Just settle for Poe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
