Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone who rides along

Khash, some "I can be sentimental when I wanna be" guy.

2. Is that a quotation from something?
Plus you've always struck me as one of the most sentimental guys around here. :pals:

4. Yup, it is. ELO - Jungle
So this dude goes into the jungle and all the animals are singing and they ask him to sing along with 'em and when he figures out the lyrics he does. And those are the lyrics.

It seemed appropriate for an early Friday evening. I coulda been all hard and cynical - but why?


Khash.

5. A very charming libretto it is too
The meaning of the phrase "great blue ship" has only just dawned on me - I'm being a bit dense this evening (well technically morning here).

6. I love you so much
but occasionally I despair of you Wagner boy. I told Rick that Der Leibestod should be a duet. And Cosima agreed with me. But did he listen? No!

Bayreuth my ass! Venice! You, me, Gore Vidal. Sounds good. Passion as the world sinks into the sea.... even better.

Khash.

9. You bring a tear to my eye
Well you would do if I were into such things.

But I'm not sure whether it's your wonderful declaration of affection - or you nastiness abour Wagner. :loveya:

You just tell me when to be in Venice and I'm there. The flight's only a couple of hours from here you know.

7. Interesting dreams...
No. But they did all have the same soundtrack - Freddie Mercury singing Fat Bottomed Girls.

Khash.
