Silliness friday's second question

zelda_pinwheel · 08-22-2008, 09:01 PM

it's still friday, because it was friday when i got up and i have not gone to bed yet, and that's how days are defined on my calendar, so here's another question for this friday.

i'm quoting it over from the tor thread because i really don't feel it will be given proper consideration there but i really feel this is one of the vital questions of our time. so here it is :

please discuss.

Personally, I have never been pissed of by a rock badger. In fact, I don't believe that I have ever been made acquainted with one. So they can't disgruntle me more than Tor.

Some of you may know that the B-52's had a song called "Rock Lobster", but did you know the song was originally titled "Rock Badger?" Due to pressure from the National Association of Badgers Not Being Used in Rock Songs they had to change it.

Here are some of the original lyrics:

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock badger

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock badger

Here is the video, you will have to imagine them singing "badger" instead of "lobster."

I think the film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has the last word on badgers.

'Badgers? We ain't got no badgers. We don't need no badgers! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badgers!'

Who would win in a fight?

1) Rock Badger?
2) Paper Badger?
3) Badger with scissors?

On the subject of rock and roll crustaceans...

I imagine that will all the mutant crustaceans in Australia they have some with musical talent as well.

I know some rock wallabies - shy, little tykes, prone to endangerment-listing, though cute as a button.

Unlike their big, stupid cousins the Red and Grey Kangaroo. You don't want to piss off one of them, but, like most, big, stupid, muscle-thugs, the problem is you never know what's going to send them into a frenzy of full-contact arsehattery and violence (though walking through a mob of them with a bag of bread - baaaaad idea. Very, very baaaaaad idea! [I still sometimes wake screaming "The pouches! The horrible pouches!]).

Adrian. He's a Rock Gibbon (though after about 17 Zany Carter Deluxes, he's more of a Folk Gibbon).

The badger with the thermonuclear device.

The Wisconsin Badgers will soon be playing on Saturdays, once more. Then, when the Packers start playing, there will be considerably more room to ride bikes on the streets on weekends.

I have it.. you have to rename these daily threads to be correct for every day of the week. That's your now moderator job. Now get to it.

never fear jswolf, i've created a new thread just for monday, so you won't feel frustrated. this seemed like the ideal solution since as you've pointed out the friday threads are really only pertinent on fridays so i felt it was best to start fresh with a question specifically for today.
