What are a few of your favorite things?

[Sally Paulson]

You know that song from "The Sound of Music" about "a few of my favorite things"? Maybe we could make a thread about that.

I'm kind of embarrassed that my favorite thing isn't a gun. It's these shoes on the right. Their real glory comes out when you look at what losers wear (on the left):



I'll do the first verse:

A few of God's favorite things


Mag-Lights and Baconaise,
AK-47,
Ham and Pork dishes that taste just like heaven...

[Nobar King]

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

Tidy front lawns and good little doggies,
Those two will show that you do love your neighbor,
Taking a nap on the porch in my swing,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

Jesus God the ten commandments and Leviticus,

[Meek and Humble]

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

watching The Passion of the Christ - ESPECIALLY the whipping scene Oh Jesus, you love me ever so...

[Meek and Humble]

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

I am being persecuted for my artistic vision. I'm a free verse poet damn it...

but anyway,

Not to mention Genesis, Isaiah, and Exodus

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

I miss George W. Bush.

Cities in ruins and treasuries stolen
The poor floating face down and rich wallets swollen
Racism rising and vacation flings
These are a few of my favorite things

Creationist classrooms and buildings in ashes
Lobbyist windfalls and light sticks in asses
Torture and war while cash registers ring
These are a few of my favorite things

Headstones in graveyards and banners on coffins
Bright terror warnings and casualties often
Late empty gestures, the drowning it brings!
These are a few of my favorite things

When the polls drop
When the press stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

That was beautiful, brother H. You certainly have a way with words. It would be nice to hear that sung.

I was really impressed with his verse, too! I actually was singing it. *Embarrassed*


If someone could tell me how, I could, y'know, record myself singing it and post it here... If, y'know, y'all would be, like, interested in that... 'Cause singing is something I really enjoy doing... And people seem to think I'm not so bad at it...

I would love to hear you. Especially the buildings in ashes and war thing.

Stay away from Allie, she is not a lesbian like you!

Right?...

She's a witch, Brother Basher. They all play for both teams.



Anyway, to continue on with the topic of this thread, I recall the gala Landover event some years ago when that old prune beloved matriarch Mrs. Rogers sang her own version of that song at my father's retirement party. I still have the lyrics she sang.

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

I know this is not a contest, but I like Monty's version better.

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

Beaches and palm trees and tiny bikinis.
Tequila and tacos and lynched gringo weenies.
Cantinas with putas did I mention bikinis?
Warm nights and cold beer and hot chili beanies.
The last llines a stretch did I mention bikinis?

Re: What are a few of your favorite things?

That's fantastic. How about another verse about fishing and smuggling wetbacks across the border? Then you can finish with something about corrupt Mexican politicians.

1. Get a microphone, if you don't have one.
2. MP3 files can be added as attachments

If you want to add instruments get the free trial of Accoustica Mixcraft for PC, or Garage Band for mac. You can also make it sound like you're in a concert hall, and even have people clapping at the end.
