    Another two hours to see if they do or don't play the tune in full (all 51 breathtaking seconds of it) - they have played in full:

    It's profound that the Wizard of Oz predicted the fall of Building 7.

    Perhaps even more profound is the realization that the general public can be made to believe anything.

    That sounds like a good time. Sometimes it's fun to be a stereotypical hippie stoner :sifone:

    When it comes to boomers I have to be in the right mood to want to eat them, and had been holding onto those for awhile now. Well, as soon as that video started playing I was like yup.. it's time.

    Well. I can see Baum putting a little political subtext into his story based on events at the time. I don't think made to seem prophetic or anything. Probably something just to show his peers "look how clever I am"

    Nope altho I've lived up North for a while.
    Lots of people down South would've strung Thatch-hore up with piano wire too. Even a lot of Cuntservatives I've met, would piss on its grave.

    I can't wait for Wednesday.. :cheers2:

    I'm surprised at that, since Conservatives think life begins and ends in London. Margaret Thatcher screwed the North over big time.

    I think trouble is ahead on Wednesday. Despite what she did, I am not joining in with "The Witch is Dead" mentality as I think that is just childish and disrespectful (I never disrespect the dead.)

    She is dead now, all the "Witch dead" songs in the world won't make any difference whatsoever, and will not change anything she has done that impacts life today.

    I do strongly disagree with the cost of her funeral, but that isn't going to change either. I just hope no irresponsible riots are going to start again.
