Are big hairy cows innately rock 'n roll?
I'm quite frankly Stumped.

Hard News: Science: it's complicated, in reply to Lilith __,
/rant.
I feel Genetically Mollified.
And the more we expect GM to magically give us food security, the less we are prepared for a self-reliant future.
If anything, the large scale corporate approach to GM has been to hold the future of global food supplies to ransom for greater economic return. What possible humanitarian justification could there be for terminator gene technology in third world seed supplies?
I'm not specifically against GM, as it could lead to things like clean fuel technologies (apparently, getting closer), but like any scientific breakthrough it depends on in whose hands it is being wielded. Not all scientists, or their corporate funding bodies, are focused on the betterment of humankind, from where I'm standing.

I am in constant awe of the way your mind works Ian
Yes, I myself find him ore inspiring.
Where is the Winkie of St Richie?
Did the winkle-picker wearing witch put the winkie in the wicker wardrobe with the Lions?
It might have been Wilkinson's sword that got the Johnny, shaving off the upright.

Under the ruck
Stuck between a ruck and a hard place?
And while you're in there, could you get that 'I wanna ruck 'n' roll all night, and every day' ear worm out of my damn head.

Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Robert Smith's
hairdresser was everywhere...About when I saw them at the Galaxy/Powerstation. All smoke and shadowplay.
They didn't do a bad job of that Bangles hit either...
I do love a bit on anachronistic humour. That Chilton wasn't above his own covers though. And back to the snow we go...

Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
(I gotta say This Mortal Coil’s versions
always sends shivers down my spine…)Yes, and since you brought it up, Jeff Buckley did a pretty awesome version of Kangaroo too. The This Mortal Coil connection is how he met Liz Fraser, AFAIK, where they made the formally infamous song All Flowers In Time.
Although some say Big Star did a reasonable job of Kangaroo.

Tim Buckley being a great example – but he’s in the 28 club!
And his son was 30, although his death was accidental, it was no less tragic. Gone but not forgotten, as I suspect will be the case with Amy Winehouse.

Reckon! What happens when you find a hotspot? I'm picturing a happy monkey.

Think of the lurkers...
Proof of their existence is merely circumstantial.
I was thinking that there are so many 't-shirt' moments on here, that we should all go out and get one made in a representative moniker. Or not.
