Title: Surreal Moment Of The Week
Post by: Xepher on September 24, 2006, 11:03:09 AM
Hearing Leonard Nimoy (Spock) sing "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" followed by Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line." (Weird Al doing "Canadian Idiot was a close second.)

I think my surreal moment came earlier in that line up...Spock, singing.

Watching a documentary on UFO's narrated by James Doohan[Mr. Scott] was pretty surreal.

I just saw your profile lists "Winnipeg (Stupid City)" and I was JUST listening to "One Great City!" by The Weakerthans.

QuoteLate afternoon, another day is nearly done
A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
That hollow hurried sound, feet on polished floor
And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up
And counting loonies trying not to say

I hate Winnipeg

The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway
The same route everyday
And in the turning lane
Someone’s stalled again
He’s talking to himself
And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase

I hate Winnipeg

And up above us all
Leaning into sky
Our golden business boy
Will watch the North End die
And sing, “I love this town
