When HQ is gone.

I dunno.. I was thinking more of something like an acid test..

Well, as long as it not in the electric kool-aid.

I dunno. wandering around.. not having a clue in the world who or what I am or could care less.. doesn't have it's lack of attractions or something..

It would be the ultimate holiday.. a "home away from home"..

It's not that scary of a place..

we came from it to begin with..

I liked singing "roll away"

Trust me on this.

If you sing it almost every day, 1,095 days in a row, it starts to become tiresome.

I dunno.. if it would just "roll away".. that would be one thing...

sowie..

Must just not be "available" or something..

I understand what you're saying - - but you have to admit it was a whole lot better than that little ducky song........

heh..

well, maybe the question should be.. when hq is gone, who is going to turn out the lights?

da mrs is gone. Not going to be her..

I agree with Waysider...we sang that in FLO after every communal meal, complete with gestures. Every one of them. Not only boring but stupid. Mindless repetition. Dumber than dirt.

I remember once at Emporia we were singing Roll Away and a couple of Sixth Corps guys threw themselves on the floor and started to roll away.

I can feature that. When I was teaching seventh-graders (post-TWI), we would sometimes (ONLY sometimes!) sing Roll Away, especially if I felt they needed to be stirred up a little before their next class. They considered it a treat, and the sixth graders asked me to teach it to them.

Another inherently good thing that TWI drove into the ground through mindless repetition!

Love,

Steve

Actually, wasn't Emporia a minimum-security prison for a while (not including its Way tenure)?

There was a proposal to make it into one, but the townspeople protested and it wasn't done.

I personally have no desire ever to go back. Too bad Adolphs closed, I would go back there.

Adolph's closed? Now I REALLY wouldn't go back to New Knoxville!

Oh...c'mon Mark...wouldn't you like to walk through the grounds with a flame thrower on your back?

That is kind of like a small town losing it's one redeeming quality.

Just curious, Tom LB - to which song are you referring here? Is that a line of a song, "Did we do our best to love You, God?"

Song is by James Cowan and sung by Don Moen, I did a parody on the lyrics to relate to the topic, hence my apologies to both men.
