Try an episode or two, form an opinion and you may help contribute to 42 more pages of madness I think I'll pass thanks...

A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times. And now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kiss'd I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? Quite chap- fall'n? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come. Make her laugh at that. Or, me and the kids messing around with cameras and foam hallowe'en skulls. http://www.studio-international.co.uk/studio-images/Warhol-Hayward09/Warhol-with_skull_b.jpg

Have people been setting fireworks off all weekend round your areas?

Only in your mad head, Mallard-features. What you think they go together? Marillion is more Whitby, Yorkshire than New York City....

I was convinced this was a joke thread...

I thought this guy died a while ago...

Marillion and New York City are two things that don't seem to fit together really...

Are there any RUSH songs where you don't need the music, you just read the lyrics and that's the best bit so you don't even listen to the music? For me this could never happen but maybe this is something the lyrics people really get into?

QUOTE (Ya_Big_Tree @ Jul 3 2012, 04:26 PM) I really love the lyrics in this song. Great message about falling for the Red Herring in life and being blindsided when it bursts into flames in front of us. The miracle too good to be true, the truth is contrary to everything you thought you knew just to find out you really don't know anything. Do you read the lyrics in the bath?

Hey cat owners, watch out for the toxoplasma gondii parasite...

If I were the mastering engineer I'd be hiding in Brazil somewhere with Paul Northfield, Howie Weinberg, Chris Stringer, David Leonard and Joel Kazmi.

QUOTE (Tick @ Jul 3 2012, 04:03 PM) worst poll you have ever made. congrats! Most people agree with me shorty...

Cosey Toes could sing Geddy in the 80s. Now? I don't know so much...

Red Sun... Must be the only ever western featuring an American Lipka Tatar, a Japanese guy playing a samurai, a Frenchman and a Swiss tart.
