Title: Tom Was Sending a Subliminal Message
Post by: dave from knoxville on July 25, 2007, 09:30:43 AM
I don't know what it means, but I will never forget it.

I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn
I love his lawn

I suspect some sort Manchurian Candidate keyword this week, to send us all into a hypnotic trance state from which we commit some heinous crime to overthrow society.

At first, I was thinking:

I love his law
I love his law
I love his law
I love his law
I love his law
I love his law

Which obviously is a Murphy's Law reference - and perfect on a night when so many things seemed to bog him down.

But then I got it:

I love Islam
I love Islam
I love Islam
I love Islam
I love Islam
I love Islam
I love Islam

(Then I read in the unauthorized autobiography of Paul McCartney, Am I the Walrus?, that Paul and Linda were only paying tribute to Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, for his contributions to the world of music. Caused quite a stir when it was first released though.)

Huh. All that makes sense, except that the lyric is really:

I love his slaw
I love his slaw
I love his slaw
I love his slaw
I love his slaw
I love his slaw

The call from Thor in Eastbridge was great, too.  I love those last minute throwaway calls.

"Show stinks.  You're over."

I heard: "and nobody here's at home".  I missed the part where it started skipping, so I thought it was a song proper.

Yah, that might have been my first call. I mentioned Mason Rudolph's autograph and Tom asked something like "What kind of circles do you roll in?"

I am saving my close encounter with Dolly Parton until a later time.

Sorry, no.

It was "Isle of LA" referring to the impending earthquake of 2009 that will turn California into a jagged island chain, where pirates and profiteers will sale between the rogue floating states, murdering, plundering and pitching screenplays about young murderers and plunderers who dream of being something more.

It's a jungle out there.
