Rush Word Scramble

Recommended Posts

I've actually been quite sick this week - nothing serious, just the common cold, one second my nose is clogged up with 23 tonnes of concrete, the next it's drippin.......let's not go there.

 

Anyway, copious Lem Sips later, I'm getting back to normal, and once the brain cells began to function again, I got to thinking, and swearing, and banging my head against the wall, and then swearing again.

 

First, I thought this was about the time Peter Jackson asked Neil what he should do when the LOTR trilogy was finished, and the Prof suggested

 

Try a N.Y. Roof Ape Trip

 

Then, I remembered that old suggestion that in order to lighten the mood during Red Sector A, the band would bring on a group of camp male dancers. When asked who he'd like, Ged responded noncommitedly

 

Any Pert Fairy Troop

 

Then, I looked to the heavens for inspiration, but God apparantly wasn't in the mood for linguistic gymnastics and no divine help was forthcoming, so I started swearing again.

 

Basically, I went from

Imagine a parallel universe where TRF members are actually stars in popular TV shows. Let's take a popular one at the moment, Lost. (And if you think for a minute I'm going to start assigning different characters to board members, no way!!!).

 

Imagine, Oceanic 2112 goes down in the South Pacific during a passage to Bangkok with a gang of TRFers on board, a couple of episodes in, they build a raft, but need someone with great artistic skill to decorate it.

 

As it happens, a Modest man from Mansfield is a superb artist, but he's hurt both his hands, and cannot use them to hold a brush. However, inspiration strikes, and before you can say "This little piggy went to market", he grabs the brush with his big toe, and starts to create.

 

The programme blurb might read -

 

Lost - Slaine Toe-Painted "Hello" On A TRF Raft. Neat!

Those last two stories were great!

Ah but there was another note he wrote on the boat that floats:

ATTENTION ALL PLANETS OF THE SOLAR FEDERATION

The day will come when we'll find a Rush lyric that is itself an anagram of another Rush lyric, and that'll throw the cat among the pigeons big time.

 

But today is not that day.

After the long, hard Vapor Trails tour, the band members were looking forward to some well deserved time off. Alex in particular, was so anxious to begin his vacation that he decided not to wait for the others and hailed a cab to the airport.

 

"Get in, Sir. Where to?"

 

"Beef Airpark."

 

 

note: only the blue and green letters are part of the puzzle

Obviously, the third God who was dropped from the final draft of Hemispheres was Phoenix - The God Of Boots

 

I bring freakier tapes

 

Or is it the former Spice Girl who ate fresh fruit first thing in the morning

 

Ripe breakfast in Geri

 

Or the warning someone gave Riv when he went out on the piss

 

GI - Pain risk after beer

 

 

(to which Riv replied - "There's a much bigger pain risk in calling me a f***ing GI, motherf***er!!").

OK - We all know that Snow Dog defeated By-Tor, but how did he do it. Today, I can exclusively reveal that By-Tor had an allergy to dairy products that Snow Dog was aware of. By-Tor also had a rather ugly skin deformation which constantly oozed and meant a chanel was open into the bloodstream.

 

When Snow Dog arrived for battle, he brought not a sword or spear, but a sling, with some special weapons to throw from it. Next day, the headline in "The Times Of Hades" read -

From the chorus of a song which, if posts here are typical, is one of the least liked in the band's repertoire.

I was virtually cetain this would go within a matter of hours, although the 1990s album it comes from doesn't appear to be everyone's favourite.

 

I've no doubt that any boy or girl who uses all their net savvy to consider this will get it virtually immediately, whether you're connection is DSL, cable or modem.

It's a little known fact that when on tour, the members of Rush are keen bog snorkellers and potholers, liking to do nothing more than descend into bogs and caves.

 

Years of touring mean they've amassed an encyclopaedic knowledge of caves and bogs around the world, and this is to be the subject of Neil's next book.

 

The news, when it eventually appears on rush.com will be carried under the headline

In the event that anyone has had a theory, but is missing a "H", you'll notice that I've amended the phrase slightly to put in the "H" that was missing from the original phrase.
