The longest thread ever

Not the same problem, most of those sea shanties are about Cape Cod and Nantucket.

The legend lives on
From the Chippewa down
From the lake that they call
Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said,
never gives up her dead
When the skies of November
turn gloomy


(The Great Lakes region may disagree)

Yeah but Massachusetts ain't got:
"In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days."

This is a conversation ender. Gord's Gold baby. Gord's Gold.

Agree to a point, although I think “Sundown” is one of the top 25 songs of the last fifty years. Seriously.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Cotton Jenny?!?! If you could read my mind?!?!

Very Service-able quote.

Yes, but sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.

Solid too.

Bob's your uncle.

but, at the end of the day, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

[OldPhiKap]

Bob's your uncle.

But he identifies as my aunt. It’s . . . complicated.

[Bostondevil]

That they do!


Sent me down this google rabbit hole ---- the best songs about every state (according to USA Today, known expert on stuff and things).

Many disagreements with that list, but at least they made the obvious choice with North Carolina. There are other good ones but "Carolina in My Mind" is the best.

James Taylor could be on the list twice as "Sweet Baby, James" is about Massachusetts.

Fanny's your aunt.


In certain countries, namely the one that coined these phrases, that's blush worthy.

Yeah. I have disagreements on several fronts!

Oatmeal and a banana.

Oatmeal and a banana.

I always thought people eating oatmeal was just a convention used on television and not something that people really did. Like exposition to make characters in a show seem more mysterious. To be fair, I felt this way about granola until Bundabergdevil shared that he made his own. Presumably out of woodchips.

I literally ate oatmeal yesterday for the first time in probably 30 years.

I’m very proatmeal.
