Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Theme for the week: Flowers for Algernon

We? experience the elations of sudden greatness, only to live the torments of a fully conscious regression to mediocrity.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies
    grow,
    In Flanders fields.

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition;
    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    Halfway down the trail to Hell,
    In a shady meadow green
    Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped,
    Near a good old-time canteen.
    And this eternal resting place
    Is known as Fiddlers’ Green.

    And so when man and horse go down
    Beneath a saber keen,
    Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
    You stop a bullet clean,
    And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
    Just empty your canteen,
    And put your pistol to your head
    And go to Fiddlers’ Green.

    Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
    Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
    It's early to rise, early in the sack
    I thank God I'm a country boy

    Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
    A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
    My days are all filled with an easy country charm
    Thank God I'm a country boy

    Well I got me a fine wife I got me an ole fiddle
    When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
    Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
    Thank God I'm a country boy

    Dalek: I will talk to the Doctor.
    The Doctor: Oh will you? That's nice. Hello!
    Dalek: The Dalek strategem nears completion. The fleet is almost ready. You will not intervene.
    The Doctor: Oh really? Why's that, then?
    Dalek: We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated.
    The Doctor: No.
    Dalek: Explain yourself.
    The Doctor: I said, "No."
    Dalek: What is the meaning of this negative?
    The Doctor: It means, "No."
    Dalek: But she will be destroyed!
    The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna rescue her. I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth. And then—just to finish off—I'm gonna wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
    Dalek: But you have no weapons, no defenses, no plan.
    The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death? Rose?
    Rose: Yes, Doctor?
    The Doctor: I'm coming to get you.
