Random Raves 37 - Already CFC is returning to harmony

[sophie]

 

[Zack]

been waiting on cdq wolves for so damn long

 

[Dachs]

Deadpool was hysterically funny.

 

[Kennigit]

I thought there was an idiom about finding a unicorn but google tells me my rather wholesome intent means something much different ("finding a unicorn" had to have popped up in only the last 3-4 years I bet)


but, the rave is that I am very excited and have not been this way for a long time, for something that I did not expect to happen

 

[azzaman333]

For better or worse, I have arrived in Melbourne.

Don't get used to the nice weather.

 

[JohannaK]

It was already cloudy when I arrived.

 

[gay_Aleks]

I had a haircut. My glorious mane is gone.

 

[azzaman333]

It was already cloudy when I arrived.

Yeah but you didn't have the Antarctic winds to go with the cloudy. Trust me, today's weather was mint.

 

[Arakhor]

I went into my local Emmaus (homeless charity) store and not only did I find some really cheap books in my preferred genre (mediaeval murder mysteries), an ABBA CD was playing over the speakers. I was pleasantly surprised on both fronts.

ABBA is awful and you should feel bad for liking them.

 

[Arakhor]

Says the Australian.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Someone didn't get a man after midnight.

 

[Arakhor]

Even when he was called last night from Glasgow.

 

[azzaman333]

Says the Australian.

I listen to a lot of music, and I know bad music when I hear it. ABBA is bad and you should feel bad.

 

[Borachio]

ABBA isn't at all bad music. Objectively speaking, ABBA isn't "good music".

But if you like it, then it is, according to some definition or other, good music.

I suppose one could say it bears the same relationship to "seriously good music" as pantomime does to "serious theatre".

 

[Arakhor]

I will freely admit that Mama Mia is not a particularly good film, but it is hilarious to watch.

But I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play.

 

[Borachio]

I've thought about going to see Mama Mia.

Did you sing along?

Let's face it: ABBA songs are eminently singable.

 

[JohannaK]

Mamma Mia! ABBA are glorious, the epitome of European 80s music.

 

[Arakhor]

I didn't sing along, no, but I did hum more than once.

Anyway, I said that the lady in Emmaus who put on the CD had excellent taste in music. She asked how anyone could not like such happy music. I didn't disagree.

 

[Takhisis]

Pah, Joan is on ABBA's side because he wants a man after midnight, preferably one called Fernando.
