We're out of the woods, we're out of the dark, we're out of the night.

4. I was inspired going through my old file folders.

I had done this one for a friend who was burning "The Dark Side Of The Rainbow" (you know, The Wizard of Oz with the music of Pink Floyd) to DVD and wanted some "groovy" and "trippy" menu images:



Then I thought of putting the Obama logo around the city.

7. And the quote in your OP --

where is that from?

I found the visual and accompanying verse inspirational! :headbang:

9. It's the song they're singing as they approach the Emerald City!

MAJOR earworm!

[Pab Sungenis]

13. The song is called "optimistic voices."

It's the song the choir sings as the travellers approach the Emerald City after leaving the poppy field.

You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night

Step into the sun
Step into the light
Keep straight ahead for
The most glor ...
... ious place
On the face
Of the earth or the sky

Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to the gate
And bid it open--

You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night

Step into the sun
Step into the light
March up to the gate
And bid it open!--open!

Honestly, we're a couple decades from being out of the woods.

Ok, /DebbyDowner, but it's true, even with Obama.

[Pab Sungenis]

5. Stop casting asparagus.

I'm trying to be hopeful here.

6. Sorry. I can't control my smartass comments sometimes. nt

[gateley]

8. I can certainly identify -

it's like Smartass is on auto-pilot sometimes. Before I know it, I've posted a snarky retort and only come back into my body after I've hit the Post Message button.

Skinny green penises.

Asparagus. As if!

"Poppies will make them sleeeeeeep!" said the Wicked Witch of the West as she wrung her hands, with an evil grin on her face.


Don't rest on your haunches, there is a lot of work to do. And a lot of shit the GOP will throw at us...

[HereSince1628]
