The Gong Site - At The Bottom, Diggin'

[Daghdha]

Post what ever you'd like to be published on our, as yet, un-official website. Material should of course be un-spoilerish concerning the mtdg itself, but otherwise I see few restrictions. The free geocities site is not a fancy one (no coding, just cut n paste), but I thought it would be nice to outrun our opponents by just having one.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

From the blatent self promotion department: Could you post my band's site in the links?: celebrategrace.com

 

[Daghdha]

I'm bumping this as a reminder. Anyone that has something kewl to share can do so by posting here and I will update the site.

Post a pic of the Pyramids w/ you out front slamming on a drum set. And photoshop in a pic of Charlise while you're at it.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Hey we just added a new page to our band site and posted some slide shows from our first two gigs. Daghie if you want, you could put those on the site.

Our last gig was pretty successful. We raised an even $700 for an organization that helps inner city kids.

 

[Daghdha]

If, I say if, we bag the GLib it would be nice to make a juicy announcement on the Gong web. I suggest one of you crackpots put something together and I will work on a nice Library-ish picture.

EDIT: Something like this:

 

[jb1964]

Hahahaha! That is very, very funny.

Oh man, my stomach hurts and everyone around me thinks I've lost it.

The "LIB" needs to be more visible and I'm not sure I would mention Sabre at this point. We're not supposed to know too much about them.

The "eyeballs" are more than perfect.

 

[killercane]

Hey looks like my house in Tennersee!

 

[jb1964]

Ooow, oooow.... evil thought....

Get an actual picture of a saber and show it laying out in the grass. Or, a broken saber.

 

[markh]

Very nice. How much is the rent ? I am looking for a new home.

 

[Othniel]

Whew. Good thing we appropriated that gorgeous home. The former owners don't know what a durn li-brary is and were getting excited at the sight of all those new fire startin' materials...

 

[Daghdha]

I'll change the SABER sign to something more subtle. The crazy eye's are killer's when he discovers this new thing "books". They're saying "What, no beer!"

OK, here goes:

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Ladies and Gentlemen. Introducing the world's second worst song.

The Ballad of Chuck, Elvis and the Library


Ole’ Chucky and Elvis were just hangin’ out
Chucky says “Boy I gotta say we’re as dumb as a plate”
Elvis says “Chuck we need to get us some smarts”
Chucky says “yep we need to get us some edge-ja-ma-kate”
“edge-ja-ma-ka-shun will bring us right back”
So they went right out and built a pretty little shack

GONG! We’re gonna learn us some books
GONG! We’re gonna learn A-B-C’s
GONG! We’re gonna get real smart
GONG! We’re gonna make us a lie-bear-ee

Elvis says “A lie-bear-ee is gonna make us real smart?”
Chucky says “Son we need books to put in our shack
Go get us some books and some learnin’ we’ll do"
So Elvis found Mother Goose and Cat in the Hat
“They got pretty pitchers!” They screamed in delight
So to celebrate they got in a nice fistfight!

GONG! We got us comic books!
GONG! We can count to ten!
GONG! It don’t get no better than this!
GONG! Now we’re barely smarter than the snowmen!

Remember, when you're this dumb, scraping the bottom just ain't enough!

 

[Daghdha]

Laughing everything below the waist off

 

[jb1964]

Bugs my friend, that is truely an awful song. And perfect.

If us building the GLib (Gong Lib) doesn't turn Saber green this oughtta do it.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Bugs my friend, that is truely an awful song. And perfect.

If us building the GLib (Gong Lib) doesn't turn Saber green this oughtta do it.

Must of spent all of 15 minutes on it. The hardest part was reckonin' how to spell ejumakashun. the wife kept telling me it had a "D" where the "J" is s'posed to go. Women!

 

[Daghdha]

Funny to see that while every team knows we've built it, only Council has made an official note and that because it was "in order". A wild guess is they're all pretty upset and are occupied revising their respective plans. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Saber's office

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I think we may have a bunch of team try and make contact with us now so that the effect of the GL isn't too much. For us, as long as we don't have contact with two other civs, we won't get any techs to show up.

Actually we might want to get Babe to just go for the lower tier of techs. I imagine, the F/C contingent will now go for Education together, just to obsolete the GL as quickly as possible.

 

[Nate1976]

That song was beautiful, Bugsy.


I think I'll ask for obvious self-promotion, as well. Could you post up my band/solo project/me making music? I can give you the link and stuff.

[Sir Bugsy]

Welcome Nate.

Where's your site address? I want to check it out. Plus I need to figure out where you can play during our Friday night gig's at Cohan's.
