Let us ride together, Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Anonymous riding song.
Stephen, I got hooked on the show by accident and then the song was stuck in my head so I went looking for the words.
e.Thanks and you too.
Jean, the premise is some nerdy, brilliant folks without much clue socially. The dialogue is very clever. The song is fun and gives a larger perspective than just the few years we've inhabited this land. Something to give thanks for, either way.
Martin, but in the long, or short term?
Steve, nailed it, as usual.
Argent, I am impressed by this show. I am not usually amused by sitcoms, but I was laughing out loud, all by myself, at this one. It's like Friends, but with an intellectual component and without the innuendo and slap-stick. (In other words, not like Friends, at all:)
Pixie, a lot of my clients are of the "brilliant" ilk, complete with OCD. They are completely convinced that the way they see the world is the "one true way" and, as they are found in clusters and are successful in Silicon Valley industries, they reinforce one another. They are also breeding so the next generation is bound to be even worse. I agree that Sheldon has captured the spirit and the mannerisms. I can't wait to see him act in something else.
If I were a tree, I would be a London Plane. I am gregarious but enjoy solitude. I am English in my heart and soul, but still have room for other nations. I have lived in six countries and picked up a French husband along the way. We have a wonderful, kind, strong-minded daughter who has become a "Human of whom to be proud". I am a magnet for the lost. I foster collies (and collie cousins and the occasional, accidental, cat or crow). Those I have saved have saved me in return. I notice the world around me and often talk to strangers. Traveling alone is interesting, liberating and fulfilling. I am good at most things that I undertake but have few formal qualifications. I am able to have and treasure friends with whom I disagree about almost everything. My life is not over. Who knows where I am headed?
A ponyism is one of Life's Truths perceived from the perspective of an Effing Pony: - Life's a Bluff! - Those who aspire to make their mark on this world must expect to scrape some skin on the walls of experience. - The greatest value of money is as the currency of Hope.
- To be an Ass or an Asset, that is the question?
-Selective memory is but the first step on the path to magical thinking.
-Not all Baggage comes with wheels. -When your hero is a horse you are less likely to be disappointed than were he a human.
-Unfortunately, great wealth does not always equate with class.
-A dick, surrounded by puppies, remains a dick. -What better antidote to evil than kittens? -Any time you have something heavy, ready to drop, your cat will sit right below and look up at you.
We're big fans of the series but I've never heard the entire song. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the series or heard this before...I hope your day was lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell. that was interesting. Quite a perspective on the world's creation and "decreation." *LOL*
ReplyDeleteNever saw the show, but it looks like fun. I'll have to watch, I guess. Thanks for an entertaining post.
And I suspect it'll end with a whimper.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! And catchy enough for the Creationists to sing along to as well!
ReplyDeleteBBT is my favorite show of the moment and I love Barenaked Ladies as well, so it's all a big win for me!

ReplyDeleteSheldon Cooper is a work of comic genius
Plus - who knew the song was so informative?
