[Fun Fun Fun]

We got the blind telling a deaf person where to go.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

A blind man came to watch fair play,
A mute man came to shout “Horray!”
A deaf policeman heard the noise and
Came and shot those two dead boys.

 

[Fizzy]

Shocked? Really?

Like a cat rubbing against a shag carpet

 

[MainMan]

God, do we really have to play this one?

missing verse -
one was blind
the other couldnt see
they used their mother as a referee

and its - one BRIGHT day

Thanks for the head's up anal retentive nitwit who writes in ALL CAPS. (Hey Dinkins, get in here, I think I found Realfan!!) It turns out though that I was quoting a popular song by a band called the Weasels, which song by the Weasels took as its starting point scholarship from the British Columbia Folklore Society in reference to the eponymous novel by Chris Brookmyre. Viz.:

1. Many slight variants of the first line exist. Among the more popular are:

“One day…”
“One bright day…”
“One bright morning…”
“Early in the morning, late at night”
“Early one morning, late at night”
“Late last night in the middle of the morning”

also

“‘Twas on a dark and moonlit night”

and

“One dark night in the middle of the day,
Two dead boys got up to play.”

[and]

“Late one night in the middle of the day,
Two dead soldiers got up to fight.”

I used that source because when it comes to doggerel who knows better than Canuckleheads.

Other than that you made some excellent points. Write again soon.

My father (who would have been 107, should he have lived this long) used to quote those verses all the time when I was a wee lad. Welcome back Fun.

God, do we really have to play this one?

We have to play it, but you don't have to watch it.

 

[Patrick]

Is there really no line for this game? I can't find one. A guy I work with is a Gtown grad and we usually bet these games just to make them even more miserable. If anyone has seen a line, please let me know. Thanks Pat

Bet straight up.

 

[Las Vegan]

Bet straight up.

If you are contemplating wagering on this game, note that Wahab is back with Hoyas and looked pretty lively vs Butler. I like Hoyas side here.

 

[Patrick]

Bet straight up.

One trend that I hope does continue? We've been doing much better from the foul line over the last three games.

That's a nice stat but too little, too late...

Glad I don't have cbssn, I'm sure Monte is also lol

As fate would have it, turns out the TV in the lounge in my building gets CBSSN. I just can't win.

Monte, which are you bragging about, having a TV, a lounge, or a building with a lounge and TV?

High Society for a Xavier grad.

Just realized that I'm complaining about being forced to watch the game on the TV in my building lounge. Talk about being an ingrate . Oh and MJM knows pretty much everything about my life; the good, the bad and the ugly.

Monte suffering the indignity of first world problems.

Monte's next complaint: "I had to eat at Per Se"

Red -2.

Vegas still likes this team...11-17 ATS. Gtown 14-14.

Still can't see team turmoil winning again. He's lost the team. Tease it to G'town -3.
