Maybe it's one of those "you had to be there" jokes.

*would not want to be there for "numnumnumnum"*
*spews monitor at hysterically funny joke*
OK, now where are we??? song-wise, that is...
*scrolls back up*
There is no way to know, so I will invoke paragraph 437, Section 5(g), subsection 13(y), line 27 of the by-laws and begin game anew!
Glory, glory hallelujah - oh wait, I don't think that's the title - do over -
Star-Spangled Banner (on your feet, people!)
Posted by: Eleanor | March 05, 2005 at 10:37 AM
Um, Eleanor -- Glory, glory hallelujah is the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
That other one is what they play at baseball games. Has "ramparts" in the lyrics, you know the one.
Which one were you going for?
Posted by: sandy beach | March 05, 2005 at 11:38 AM
sandy - I knew that :) well, not exactly - after i did the Glory thing, I thought the name of the song was "His Truth is Marching On", and then I decided I didn't like that -too religious - so I made a switch to the Sports Anthem avec (as Marie would say) ramparts - glad you asked??? :)
*hopes sandy was standing while posting, as am I*
Posted by: Eleanor | March 05, 2005 at 12:28 PM
If you had known that the actual title was about warfare, would you have stuck with it?
Since I did not actually type the title of the national anthem, I don't believe I was required to stand. But I did remove my hat, which is worth something.
Since you didn't ask, I'll also tell you that I feel free to omit "under God" when saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
Posted by: sandy beach | March 05, 2005 at 12:38 PM
But note in the title sandy, that it's a Hymn - so that would make it a hymn (religious by definition) about warfare - some might say that's an oxymoron, but then that would lead us into a discussion of War in the Name of Religion, so I won't go there!
How about a song title??? :)

Sandy, I believe that the rules state that you may choose either the first letter of the last word, or the last letter of the last word as the first letter of the next title.(Whoosh, that sounds more complicated than it is.)
There is no real reason to stick with a theme; I just have too much time on my hands. And (shhh! don't tell anyone) since I have to cheat and look up song titles anyway, I might as well look for titles that somehow relate to each other.

Sly, the numnumnum joke reminds me of a different doctor that was doing a checkup on a well-endowed young female. He says:
"And now I'll have to weigh your breasts, is that OK?"
"Sure", she says.
Grabbing both and groping he says:
"Weigh Hey HEY!"

Detachable Penis???
Joshkr, I challenge!
Waddaya mean there are no challenges in this game? It's on page 57, Subsection T, paragraph 4: When a player lists a song that is patently made up, the other players may "challenge." If the song cannot be proven, the player who listed the erroneous song will be forced to do whatever the title of the made-up song suggested. In this case, set St. Elmo's fire on your detatchable penis.

***Warning!***
Anybody clicking on Alex's link above...
-When it asks if you want to install "Free Lyrics Access (blah blah blah...)"
-Click No
-When it says "You must click yes to continue"
-Click Cancel
It is trying to install what is, I'm 99.9% sure, spyware. In fact whenever IE asks about installing ANYTHING unexpectedly, always say no (Alex may have a good pop-up blocker and didn't see it)
Posted by: Joshkr | March 06, 2005 at 09:23 PM
Oh, and after clicking Cancel you can still see the lyrics which prove my innocence and save my detachable penis :)
Posted by: Joshkr | March 06, 2005 at 09:27 PM
Josh, I always say "no" to my computer, too. I find it helpful, though, if I actually click the "no" button while saying it.
YMMV
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | March 07, 2005 at 05:47 AM
It won't let me see any lyrics unless I install. There is no "no" option to click. But since Alex vouches for you Joshkr, I withdraw my challenge.
Reluctantly.
I'm sure that Detatchable Penis must be one of the great love songs for the ages. Especially when combined with St. Elmo's Fire. (Which I know isn't fire, but it works so much better if you think of it as real flames) Since I can't view they lyrics, I have written my own:
I wanted to get off
When I got excited
Instead the thing came off,
And now it's ignited.
Posted by: neophyte | March 07, 2005 at 05:48 AM
FWIW, coffee is better swallowed than spewed.
Correllarry: (my view: if you can't spell it, make it funny looking) Attempting to stiffle a spew and force a swallow hurts.

"screw" was too obvious and easy - I thought you were avoiding it on purpose to out double-entendre me.
Mind if I have the first go in the Chocolate fondue? I seem to have lost something of mine in there....
Posted by: wysiwyg | March 07, 2005 at 08:06 PM
I WAS avoiding the easy screw on purpose. But I could tell I was SO close to what I needed with the Grue.
And of course you can help yourself to the chocolate. Unless you'd like me to help?

It features on pg 197 of Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up. So even Dave's heard that one.
