H-OPA!

An ode to a Grecian contagion

Austerity victims are ragin'

These debts can't be paid

It's a Klepto charade

And soon WWIII we'll be wagon'

                As Bill Cosby used to say, "I brought you in this world, I can take you out". We started Europe and gave her the name. We protected Europe from the hordes of Barbarians throughout history e.g. Persians, Turks, Seltzuks and many other scum nations. We are the mother of Europe, so if you want to kill your mother, be prepeared to be called a MOTHERFUCKER................

have some Madeira my dear

Madeira is a fortified Portuguese wine made in the Madeira Islands

[the grateful un...]

She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen.
He was old, he was vile, and no stranger to vice
He was base, he was bad, he was mean.
He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat
To view his collection of stamps,
And he said as he hastened to put out the cat,
The wine, his cigar and the lamps:

Have some madeira, m'dear. You really have nothing to fear.
I'm not trying to tempt you, that wouldn't be right,
You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night.
Have some madeira, m'dear. It's really much nicer than beer.
I don't care for sherry, one cannot drink stout,
And port is a wine I can well do without...
It's simply a case of chacun a son gout
Have some madeira, m'dear.

Unaware of the wiles of the snake-in-the-grass
And the fate of the maiden who topes,
She lowered her standards by raising her glass,
Her courage, her eyes and his hopes.
She sipped it, she drank it, she drained it, she did!
He promptly refilled it again,
And he said as he secretly carved one more notch
On the staff of his gold-headed cane:

Have some madeira, m'dear,
I've got a small cask of it here.
And once it's been opened, you know it won't keep.
Do finish it up. It will help you to sleep.
Have some madeira, m'dear.
It's really an excellent year.
Now if it were gin, you'd be wrong to say yes
The evil gin does would be hard to assess..
Besides it's inclined to affect me prowess,
Have some madeira, m'dear.

Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said
With her antepenultimate breath,
"Oh my child, should you guzzle the wine that is red
Be prepared for a fate worse than death!"
She let go her glass with a shrill little cry,
Crash! Tinkle! it fell to the floor;
When he anguished, "Please do stay" She made no reply,
Made up her mind, and dashed for the door.

Have some madeira, m'dear.
Rang out down the hall loud and clear
With a tremulous cry that was filled with despair,
As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air,
Have some madeira, m'dear.
The words seemed to ring in her ear.
Until the next morning, she woke up in bed
With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head...
And a beard in her ear'ole that tickled and said:
Have some madeira, m'dear!

once you have buried a few of your own dead
all the political bullshit comes into sharp
focus for what it is; as gerald celente
said, "politics is show business for ugly people."
.
think about that. then , how do you engage
with sincerity?
.
apologies for the truth, though that is not
my responsibility, it is just what it is.
that i repeated it or observed it should
not make me guilty for the detrimental
consequences; there you find the evil enemy,
the ones who would hold a person culpable
and guilty for recognizing a or/ the truth.
these beasts are ubiquitous man, the beasts
and their tools, they plan all the parties
with open invitations, free parking and all.
permit fees in place, of course.
,
there may be an actual lower place that
is capable of sustaining human life, if so,
we will be inhabiting that realm soon.
.
under global earthen skies, they speak nothing
but lies to calm and orient the wayward minds.
rest assured and go back to sleep. please stand,
or sit, cross your heart and forget; remember and
forget and always listen in for the latest.
.
melville said something about "when you smell
the land where there be no land." then, went on
to point out that the smell(odor) of the sea is actually
the rotten smell of the land where it meets
the sea, decaying life forms gassing off in the open air.
which brings me to the claim, something smells
fishy, and the question, is it the fish or the
particularly odorous gasses emitted by the bacteria
that specialize in digesting the flesh of the fish?
.
as the currents and winds make short history of it
and whatever it might have meant. nothing but fishy,
more fishy in an ocean air of fishy.
good day, sail on.

$hit , sometimes, don't even happen if "they" say it
didn't happen. if "you smell land where there be no
land" or if you don't smell land where there be land.
either way, it is about perception and stuffing it down the
throats of them that just don't need it.
sail on, sail on. the birds, they are just starting
their conversations.

Generally, a decent critic offers up their ideal of the thing being critiqued so all might compare between the two.

You offered up...not.

[Gavrikon]

Ok, if he meant that we would wage WW3, then I suppose wagin' would have been more correct than wagon'.

But that's a nit.

[monad]

Who has been involved in every US church disaster ever, directly or by infiltrating the FBI? Including Waco. The ADL. Created by Bnai Brith, which was created by the Rosicrucians, those papal bomb freaks.

I don't believe it.

How many Arkansas Sheriffs who knew about the Clintons were shot in the head from helicopter by SAS snipers at Waco? I know LEOs are reading this. Why do you defend these beasts? WAKE UP

WAKE UP

I love the scene with Anthony Quinn dancing while everything is crumbling. I've done the same dance a few times in my life. It is not so funny when GS Draghi does the dance because GS intentions were not good to begin with.

Thanks for the new and the old posting William.  This too shall pass.

After I lost my wife to cancer - 12 years she fought, we had been together 47 years - I watched this clip a lot. Cause thats what I somehow had to do - relearn to dance and to laugh. It's been 17 months, still learning. Thanks for this clip. 

Greece will rise again.

There have been several flashmob versions of this dance, this is my favorite:

Cancer sucks! But it will be alright, Nobody for Prez, you can take your time and grieve and you'll get through. Congrats on 47 yrs together, that's quite an accomplishment!

[Nobody For President]

Thank you.

[williambanzai7]

Hang in there bro...

[OldPhart]

Salute to you and your wife.

And I believe the 'flashdance' is one of the sweetest accomplishments of human kind.

[Nobody For President]

Agreed.

Nikos Kazantzakis is the writer of the book "Alexis Zorbas" which the movie was based on. On his grave the inscription reads:

"I don't hope for anything, I'm not afraid of anything, I am free"

Thank you once more William (and LK) for being there.
