Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.


Of course, that's Bob. Me, I check my email and Twitter, and Instapundit.com. Then I head out to Maggie's Farm...

Every time I read the title of this thread I'm reminded of the mondegreen Maxell used in a tape ad years back:

Get up in the mornin, sleeping for bread sir.
Sold out to every monk and beef-head.
Oh-oh, me ears are alight.
Why find my kids, they buck up and a-leave me.
Darling cheesehead, I was yards to greasy.
Oh-oh, me ears are alight.

The first thing I do is call Norton an a****** for waking me up, then give him a lecture about how I need my sleep because I work nights and tell him he's being really inconsiderate. Then he licks my face and I give him a hug and call him a little s***.

I'm in the UK!!

It's a (very) old ad for audio cassette tapes that played on most people seemingly not being able to understand the lyrics to The Israelites. There was a chap with hand written cards for each line which he held up as the song was playing:

Sorry - didn't mean to impugn your nationality - thought you might have slipped into "Oz-talk" whilst remaining in your native Surrey! [perhaps a rogue sink hole had opened]

Now I have the tune of "The Israelites" running through my head - and I don't know the words either!

Better start memorizing your post!

*goes to check sink* Fortunately not...

(Although Oz-slang and Brit-slang are remarkably similar)

Where's the negative karma when you need it?!

Thankfully, the tune is so awful, and sounds so generic-modern-pop it won't stick for me

I think they should remove all snooze buttons from alarm clocks... They cause more trouble than they're worth!

To be honest, I don't know where the snooze button is on my clock or was on the previous one. I don't learn its location on the purpose, I also place the alarm clock a bit away from me, so it is not easy to reach.
Also, I don't make it too loud, so I don't get headache when the radio is triggered.
Then....an understanding that if I ignore the alarm clock, I might loose the privilege to wake up at 06.20 5 times a week only and be forced to do it six or seven times per week and the days off might differ from my other half's...
That would be a tragedy...
