[holy king]

what does "quincy" refer to?

In the town of Milton one
Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent

He threw a big party for friends
And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball.

[Chorus:]
Six long months I spent in quincy,
Six long months doing nothing at all,
Six long months I spent in quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball.

Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies,
Ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio
There were faheys and bradys,
Mcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away.

Brian tully sang out in his finest form,
The patron's responded and I lead em all
I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball

[Chorus]

The boys were hammered the girls were hearty
Dancing around in couples and groups
An accident happened, young Dennis Flemming
Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops

This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder,
Called for her sons and gathered them all,
Christopher swore he'd go no further
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball

[Chorus]

In the midst of the melee
Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
Some of the boys declared she was plastered
Had a small drop too much I suppose

Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able
Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall
Tore the left leg from under the table
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball

Boy oh boy now this was a rumble
Myself took a lick from mean Ricky Green
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen

Talent the piper nearly got strangled,
They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all,
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball

[Chorus]

 

[RedRalph]

I'm guessing it a nickname for a jail

 

[holy king]

I'm guessing it a nickname for a jail

my guess too...

probably a boston one since you dont know it...

 

[shortguy]

my guess too...

probably a boston one since you dont know it...

Well if it has anything to do with Boston then it probably refers to the town Quincy, which is nearby.

 

[holy king]

it's a dropkick murphys song.

 

[Abaddon]

To find my wooden leg!

 

[gangleri2001]

Could somebody tell me why am I the only one on the planet that thinks that despotism is THE light and everything else is nothing but darkness?

 

[Atticus]

Maybe, if you told us why you think that way.

 

[Virote_Considon]

It requires no Anarchy, I guess.

 

[GoodGame]

Could somebody tell me why am I the only one on the planet that thinks that despotism is THE light and everything else is nothing but darkness?

I can only guess that it's because you are a megalomaniac.

 

[Atticus]

That's what I'm guessing too, but in theory it's possible that he doesn't think he'd be the despot.

 

[GoodGame]

That's what I'm guessing too, but in theory it's possible that he doesn't think he'd be the despot.

In that case, he must be a lamb.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

what does "quincy" refer to?

Quincy is a city south of Boston where the Adamses were born/lived.

It is also the most awesomest city on the whole planet.

 

[Phlegmak]

Could somebody tell me why am I the only one on the planet that thinks that despotism is THE light and everything else is nothing but darkness?

Is it related to garbage day in some manner?

 

[King of Town]

There is a jail in quincy illinois I am pretty sure. but that probably the wrong city.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

How reliable is Can You Run it as a means of analyzing how well your computer will perform while playing a game?

It's OK most of the time but it tends to not be great when it comes to video cards. Last week it told me my laptop couldn't run C&C Generals... yet here we are.

 

[salty mud]

So it undervalues them? I was told my card could run Far Cry 2 at recomended level. Far Cry 2 is quite a visually demanding game, and I was a bit hesitant to admit that it would work fine on my laptop...

 

[Bigfoot3814]

So it undervalues them?

Seems like it. Their complaint department would probably be a lot busier if they told people they could run games they actually couldn't rather than the other way around.

 

[Mad Man]

Is the army right for me?

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Is the army right for me?

You'd be doing a lot more pushups and laps around whatever they have you run laps around than the rest of the guys. Of this I am sure.
