This seems like random gibberish, as well it might. But no, it is actually lyrics. Lyrics of a symphony.

Sadly, most popular songs I can think of at the moment make less sense than that. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

Well, the Soviet national anthem was once refitted with Swedish lyrics sounding faintly similar to the Russian original, and translating into English thusly: quote: -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Our anthem is not Swedish, broken or otherwise. In an ideal world our anthem would be in Interlingua, but in this one we'll settle for English as the only known language of our Lord and Programmer. More importantly, I can produce a recording of "Rage Polar Bear" if someone can produce or recommend hosting. —Alorael, who bestows great honor upon onlooker defined by, then related to burglar.

rage rage polarbear, rage rage polarbear, rage rage polarbear... Alorael, I'd recommend my FTP, but it appears you found it before I found this thread. Also, wasn't this performed at Amherst? It seems to be a fairly new composition, so I'm not sure if it was performed anywhere else. :) [ Monday, December 19, 2005 14:56: Message edited by: An array cat ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Alorael, what have you done to me? I woke up this morning with the bit "rage rage polar bear, rage rage polar bear" stuck in my mind. Upon looking at the alarm clock and realizing I was late, I exclaimed "Curse beyond!" and jumped into my clothes, all the while thinking "if chessboard of bestow great honor..." Later, racing to the lecture on my bicycle, I had to keep from shouting "Flies! In! To! A! RAGE POLAR BEAR!" I will never be the same again... o_O -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

This was going to be my Christmas present to Spiderweb, but hey, I'm not Christian so why would I make you wait? I could hold out for Chanukkah, but it's really the thought that counts. Let there be joyous song! —Alorael, who would like to thank Aran for hosting, Ben Rogers for peerless composition, and people who share selflessly for sharing this selflessly so that it can eventually reach the ears of those to whom it means the most.

Edit: Alorael, you never mentioned the title, but I gather that it is called "A Symphony of Spam"?

That's what I've been led to believe. —Alorael, who can pull strings along his six degrees of separation to find out what the composer had in mind. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

No, I mean, how did he get a choir and an orchestra to perform that?

According to the member of that choir who sent me the song, it was a matter of finding volunteers and then practicing until they could manage it without cracking up. Not that I think it's funny. There's a majestic grandeur to the nonsense suited to Richard White. —Alorael, who will entertain no comments on Richard White, majestic grandeur, and possible errors.

quote:Christmas is a religious holiday for all members of the Cult. After all, I'm sure Richard White must have been Jesus at least once by now. And since this post is being made in early January we can declare it a holiday retroactively, which has a nice symmetry to it. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

The true way of faith is to retroactively make December 20 a holiday. Let's call it Icefallmas. Not only is it now a holiday, it now always was a holiday and we celebrated it devotedly every single year. —Alorael, who distinctly remembers the celebrations. Two years ago the Bnidkappy (very traditional Icefalmas dish) was to die for. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

For a moment there I thought "Well speak of the devil, what a coincidence", then I realized it was just you fooling around with monikers. :P Also, this retroactive holiday stuff is dangerous. Only a few days ago, we retroactively moved White's birthday to October 7th and celebrated it every year, and it turned out that while going home from that party I got killed by a drunk driver, leaving me seven years dead until the celebration was moved again the next day. Of course, I retroactively reverted to existence later, so it would appear to an outsider I had never been dead at all. But I noticed, and it wasn't pleasant. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

The celebration is on the same day every year. It's the other dates that we move. I went to the funeral before it never happened. It was a very nice one for the first two years, but then it had been less nice. And I really feel like this requires indefinite and imperfect past tenses to describe accurately. —Alorael, who almost boggled, whatever that is, until he realized that no true Mr Meanor would have a period in his name.
