I was wondering. Those of you, who sang that song to the tune of greensleeves--the seed indeed the version with, "and if you do your legs I'll break." Did you sing that in open meetings in front of parents?
-
Yes they did. But don't worry no legs were really broken. The group made up the song themselves. Kind of like I'm going to kill you if you do that. get it.
-
Although they did seem to have alot of crutches at one time :???:

Yeah, the breaking of bones seems to have started when Smelly broke away and started Straight.
Kinda telling though that the group made those lyrics up.
-
"Kinda telling" what?????
You can read anything into anything you choose to I guess. They were inocent lyrics. Actually caring words. Believe it or not.

I don't.

Me either. I remember looking over at John Murphy on crutches whenever we sang that line at open meetings. Now Ft. Lauderdale tells me it was wholely unrelated, just an innocent accident, nothing to do w/ the program at all. Regardless, I got that message of intimidation and so, evidently, did the 12yo who was on the other side of the state at another time. FWIW, the real words are "and if you do your leg will break. But, just like we had to pretend C-L-I-C-K was the correct spelling for clique, nobody felt any need to correct that little error.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

I think it's "and if you do your leg I'll break."
Maybe its "and if you do your leg I'll eat" Does that explain the guy with one leg :rofl:
Sorry I could not resist.
-
maybe it was "and if you do your leg I'll steak".
:scared:
-
Innocent, INNOCENT, and why would the fact that the group came up with it mean anything at all? We only "came up with" what we were supposed to. It wasn't what you'd call a spontantanieos place

Maybe thats how you took it. I really tried to apply all of it, to tell you the truth...

:eek: Did ya break any legs?
-
No. But I did break a few of my own toes.
It wasn't like I was stepping on anyone else's toes. I would have an occassional toe break playing football on the beach.
What's that saying. "You can pick your friends and you can pick your toes but you can't pick your friends toes. ... or is that nose? :rofl:
-
personally the thing I hated the worse about that song was the glorification of this;
"we come each day from 10 to 10 adn if you screw up you start again".
I would have taken a broken leg over that shit any day!
-
I don't know about that. If you would have gotten a broken leg, maybe you'd be spending the rest of your life complaining about how they broke your leg.
-
nice. Belittle those that don't agree.
After all, its the seedling way!
-
If you call that belittling, you do have a problem. Thats just my opinion like you have yours.
-
that someone would complain the rest of their life over something, merely because they take contrary position than you do?
No, that is trying to reduce your opponent instead of reducing your oponents argument. It is called an ad hominem attack.
Here, let me help..

Understand this. Ad hominems weren't only encouraged at the seed, they were required. That is perhaps why so many of us do attack the messenger in arguments. It is such a bad, antis social idea. I know I have struggled with it thru my years.
Something for all of us to work on.

Click the link "Why I live at the PO" in her signature line, that explains who Eudora is. Great story too!

Well? Do ya get it, he who's name must never be spoken?

I think some folks may be confusing Eudora with Endora. Endora was a witch on the old sitcom "Bewitched". She was Samantha's mother. Character was played by Agnes Moorehead. I loved that show (still watch it sometimes on tvland) & was in love with Samantha when I was a little tyke. (& no, Tyke is not a butch lesbian either)
BTW, Just curious; did anyone else ever have a crush on any tv characters as a child? I literally cried when my mom told me I probably couldn't marry Ginger (tina louise) from Gilligan's Island when I grew up.
-
Totally had crushes on Ginger (but Marianne was more my taste, Samantha, and Agent 99 on Get Smart. Thought Wilma Flintstone was cute, too.
-
I loved "Lucy' & had a crush on Marlo Thomas in "That Girl" . Sally Fields was the one that really stole my heart. :grin:
-
I remember when my nephew had a crush on Snow White. He would watch the video over and over again - he was clearly in love. He was four! I guess this is in the male DNA.
-
I know what you mean. There seems to be a few videos that I can watch over and over again as well. :grin:
-
Can't believe no-one's mentioned Jeannie yet. Barbara Eden in that little outfit...wow. I'd forgotten agent 99 and That Girl. I had a thing for a witch on Dark Shadows named Angelique too. Man, I was such a little perv, I loved em all. Lauderdale, you're the first guy I've heard mention Lucy. And a flying NUN frchrisake? How many hail mary's did that get you? I never fell for any cartoon characters though. Snow White, huh? My grandkids went through a stage where they watched The Wizard of Oz over and over...which reminds me...I was in love with Dorothy too! Is this really a male thing or do little girls do this too? And to bring it back on topic...why didn't we ever discuss this in guy's raps? It might have been funny.
-
Marshall, actually it wasn't so much flyin nun as gidget.
-
but it is hard to kick the "habit"
-
I too was in love with Angelique, the evil but beautiful witch on Dark Shadows. It was scary to feel helplessly attracted to such a diabolical lady. One of her favorite tricks, when people were trying to exorcise a curse or something, was to make the whole room go up in flames while her tinkling angelic laughter filled the smoky air, as people desperately struggled to escape or put out the fire.
All in all, I guess, it was a little like having a crush on Suzie Connors at the Seed.
(Just kidding, Suzie, if you're out there. You weren't quite THAT bad.)

Sorry, this post lost

Sorry for the lost posts.
It seems Ft Lauderdale has informed me the Cranbrook girls had dubbed me "whitey Corvette".
I responded with I understood the "whitey" part seeing as I have white skin and back then, long almost white hair.
I think I got the "corvette" part now. Back then I had a Corvette-yellow Opal GT, which was kind of a poor man's corvette. (at least it kind of was shaped that way).
I am assuming several things..help me here Ft Lauderdale.
1) either some of the girls recognized me from St Pete and observed me coming and going
or
2) the girls recognized me coming and going after the incident by the pool with Art and Me.
Would you mind telling me which?
Thanks!
-
Greg - Probably both...
Unless you mooned them. ::kma:: :grin:
-
Well, you must have had some conversation if you got that information. Do tell my friend..just what was said. My ears are burning!
-
Someone told me (are we hanging wash on the closeline right now, cause thats what it feels like.) after reading our posts back and forth months ago that they thought that "greg" was Whitey Corvette. I said what. Whos that? They said yeah he(you) was like a kid that thought he was a little hot shot. So they nicknamed you whitey corvette. She was one of the girls that lived in one of the apts back then. I asked her if she remembered any kind of "Pool incident" she said vaguely. Thats all the facts I know sir. I truly never heard of any "pool incident" I lived at Cranbrook Club too.
-
Thanks and very interesting.

Sounds to me asif the Seed chicks had a crush on ya, buddy! :rofl:

more like a morbid fascination. I mean, obviously they knew I was an ex seedling, I was cocky, and I dared to confront Art in Public. This must have been what made them stop and take notice. Funny, other than the incident by the pool, I almost never knew they were there as I buzzed in and out in my little yellow opal.
Whitey corvette...lol...at myself!
-
My husband stood up when a politician was there at the Seed one day and dared to question national drug policy back then. He got severely punished for that one. I cant remember which politician it was.

Was is Ed Muskie?

There's a story Art used to tell about how Ed Muskie visited the Tt. Laud. Seed, and afterwords the media grilled him about either his or his wife's treatment for depression - he cried, it made the national headlines, and he later withdrew from the race. I've seen the newspaper article.
Art always used that story as an illustration of how the media can make a story out of a trivial event.
I bet a quick online search would turn this up.
-
That was the same incident that my husband described. I guess it was Muskie that visited that day when he stood up.
-
From wikkipedia:
"Many also blame Muskie's loss on his emotional defense of his wife, Jane Muskie, after the Manchester Union-Leader, a conservative newspaper criticized Mrs. Muskie. Muskie seemingly wept as he spoke outside the newspaper's offices, yet he would later claim that what seemed to be tears were actually melted snowflakes. Had this not been a controversy, many question whether Muskie would have won the nomination and gone on to defeat President Nixon."
So this indicates it didn't happen outside of the Seed, as Art said. Or perhaps I misunderstood the story.
-
damn, who knows. He was however, at the seed at that time. It is reported in the newspaper.
-
Was Muskie a Yenzer? Maybe he just cried every time somebody shoved a camera in his face?

You big tough meanie. I bet your too mean to cry?
-
LOL, just keep an eye out now that I've mentioned it. You'll see. Every time some yenzer gets on national tv, he cries. Doesn't matter why--tragic news story or heart warming human interest thing--yenzers will cry!

Ppl from around here, some of them, call their friends yenz the way southerners use ya'll. It's You ones or yunz but w/ the local brough it comes out like yenz. Also, interestingly enough, they don't have feelings, even though they cry for joy so much. They have fillings.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.
