Danny Deever

"What are the bugles blowin' for?" said Files-on-Parade.
"To turn you out, to turn you out", the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What makes you look so white, so white?" said Files-on-Parade.
"I'm dreadin' what I've got to watch", the Colour-Sergeant said.
For they're hangin' Danny Deever, you can hear the Dead March play,
The regiment's in 'ollow square -- they're hangin' him to-day;
They've taken of his buttons off an' cut his stripes away,
An' they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.

"What makes the rear-rank breathe so 'ard?" said Files-on-Parade.
"It's bitter cold, it's bitter cold", the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What makes that front-rank man fall down?" said Files-on-Parade.
"A touch o' sun, a touch o' sun", the Colour-Sergeant said.
They are hangin' Danny Deever, they are marchin' of 'im round,
They 'ave 'alted Danny Deever by 'is coffin on the ground;
An' 'e'll swing in 'arf a minute for a sneakin' shootin' hound --
O they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'!

"'Is cot was right-'and cot to mine", said Files-on-Parade.
"'E's sleepin' out an' far to-night", the Colour-Sergeant said.
"I've drunk 'is beer a score o' times", said Files-on-Parade.
"'E's drinkin' bitter beer alone", the Colour-Sergeant said.
They are hangin' Danny Deever, you must mark 'im to 'is place,
For 'e shot a comrade sleepin' -- you must look 'im in the face;
Nine 'undred of 'is county an' the regiment's disgrace,
While they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.

"What's that so black agin' the sun?" said Files-on-Parade.
"It's Danny fightin' 'ard for life", the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What's that that whimpers over'ead?" said Files-on-Parade.
"It's Danny's soul that's passin' now", the Colour-Sergeant said.
For they're done with Danny Deever, you can 'ear the quickstep play,
The regiment's in column, an' they're marchin' us away;
Ho! the young recruits are shakin', an' they'll want their beer to-day,
After hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.

looking for any outside the box ideas

2017-08-25 03:37:35 UTC  

Some idiot is paying to promote this

2017-08-25 03:37:49 UTC  

Meanwhile they reject all else from this time period

2017-08-25 03:37:54 UTC  

National Weather Service predicting that Hurricane Harvey will make landfall in Texas as a Category 3 storm or higher. If it does, it will be the first Major Hurricane to hit the continental US since Hurricane Wilma in October 2005.

You dont have consequences

2017-08-25 03:38:26 UTC  

for your actions

2017-08-25 03:38:32 UTC  

like you did in say 1800

2017-08-25 03:38:46 UTC  

has it been that long with no strong hurricane?

2017-08-25 03:38:47 UTC  

i guess so

2017-08-25 03:38:53 UTC  

Yes

2017-08-25 03:38:59 UTC  

Hurricane Matthew last year came close

2017-08-25 03:39:05 UTC  

AGW fags said hurricanes would get stronger, instead we barely get any, sad!

2017-08-25 03:39:10 UTC  

But it rapidly deintensified before it hit Florida

2017-08-25 03:39:28 UTC  

i remember big hurricanes being fairly common in the 90s

2017-08-25 03:39:32 UTC  

and early 00s

The Gods of the Copybook Headings



As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

2017-08-25 03:39:46 UTC  

Hurricane Sandy was barely a category one

2017-08-25 03:39:48 UTC  

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Katrina hit as a Category 3

2017-08-25 03:40:37 UTC  

Sandy was odd because of the location more than anything

2017-08-25 03:40:40 UTC  

Yes

2017-08-25 03:41:27 UTC  

Sandy was also the largest Atlantic hurricane by surface area covered, because it maintained its hurricane strength at such a Northernly latitude.

2017-08-25 03:41:40 UTC  

They tend to get bigger by surface area the further they get away from the equator

2017-08-25 03:42:14 UTC  

Sweet, 2 foot rain predictions

2017-08-25 03:42:26 UTC

2017-08-25 03:42:35 UTC  

It's the storm surge that will really fuck Texas up

2017-08-25 03:42:50 UTC  

Inb4 they use this to try and prove trump hates blacks.

2017-08-25 03:42:53 UTC  

That's what destroyed Galveston

2017-08-25 03:43:19 UTC  

Storm surge is a bitch

2017-08-25 03:43:50 UTC  

Corpus Christie seems ground zero

Watched the news today, that's what they said

2017-08-25 03:44:47 UTC  

Donald Trump hates mestizos so much that he absorbed the black sun's power and sent a hurricane at them.

2017-08-25 03:44:50 UTC  

That's fucking bad

2017-08-25 03:45:09 UTC
