Here they come (my two bits, that is)... The first time I heard the Drinking Song, I thought he was drunk AND high: "between bowls..."

Between pulls fits much more in the visual of the song to me... - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 30 Sep 1998 20:33:07 GMT From: Gruneberg Veronica J <6vjg@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: Re: A couple of questions Cee, BELIEVE me, I understand the feeling. When I was 13 I hit the magical 5'11", and thanks god, stoped there. But my younger sisters are 6'1" and 6'3". So I laugh in their general direction at every chance I get. But I must say, now that I'm "all growed up" being tall doesn't usually bother me. Except when guys I'm dating tell me I can only wear flat shoes, because otherwise I'm too tall and it makes them uncomfortable. Grrr... (for anyone who's interested, I went out and bought a pair of shoes with 3" heels and wore them every chance I got!) :) Veronica - -- ***************************************************************************** And in the end | Veronica Gruneberg The love you take | Dept. of Biology Is equal to the love | Queen's University You make... | Kingston, Ontario ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 14:21:27 -0700 From: Caitlin Subject: Re: San Francisco Review a-ha... he delurked himself so I don't have to.

See http://www.mcs.net/~bingo/lyrics/. John Carrol of the San Francisco Chronicle was one of the earliest popularizers of the term "mondegreen", a term credited to Sylvia Wright. See . Not to boast or anything, but I know "The Bonnie Earl of Murray" and can sing it on demand.
