St. Jimmy Posted December 8, 2006 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.
Davinq Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 You mean the one that was written while the members were drunk? I am the Walrus... You are the Eggman... We are the Eggmen...
Miss_Mayhem Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 WTF was that? Sounds like it came from 'The Way Things Are'.
DarthAve Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 HELLZ YES. ALICE IN WONDERLAND. I LOVE THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENDER SO MUCH I'M POSTING IN CAPSLOCKS!
itchythesamurai Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 "I told you about the walrus and me, man, You know that we're as close as can be, man. Well here's another clue for you all, The walrus was Paul." Such an inspiring album...well, for the Manson Family at least.
St. Jimmy Posted December 9, 2006 Author 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 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!"
Miss_Mayhem Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Have any of you read the book, Alice in Wonderland? It's really quite good.
Samnmax221 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Have any of you read the book, Alice in Wonderland? It's really quite good. Throw it in the tub!
itchythesamurai Posted December 9, 2006 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.
DarthAve Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Have any of you read the book, Alice in Wonderland? It's really quite good. I want to! But I haven't been to the library in ages. I wanna read it because Lewis Caroll was on LSD when he wrote it. I would like ot see the actual side afftets of drug induced literature.
alliespixie Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I want to! But I haven't been to the library in ages. I wanna read it because Lewis Caroll was on LSD when he wrote it. I would like ot see the actual side afftets of drug induced literature. believe me i read the book and you would just love it darth
DarthAve Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 He wasn't on LSD ¬ DAMN YOU MATT!! And that edited wikipedia.
alliespixie Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 i know it takes me forever to figure out what they are saying
Samnmax221 Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 DAMN YOU MATT MEEKS!! And that edited wikipedia. Jefferson Airplane was on LSD.
Samnmax221 Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 What about Jefferson Starship? They're the same Itchy, I don't know why I answered this being that it was a sarcastic question.
itchythesamurai Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Probably because we built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll. That's been stuck in my head for days.
elTee Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 That was actually just Starship. There is a difference... I'm not sure what it is though. Airplane is the only one I liked
Miss_Mayhem Posted December 12, 2006 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.
elTee Posted December 12, 2006 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
Miss_Mayhem Posted December 13, 2006 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.
