The Octagon Bar: The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Pants Down

[U2democrat]

sorry...the wireless internet stopped working for a few minutes. i'm back though!

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm going to bed! Night 'Goners.

 

[U2democrat]

sleep well!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoots]

Everybody's going to bed! How DO you guys have the self control to say.. alright, that's enough Interference for tonight!??

 

[U2democrat]

it's very difficult. i'll probably be on for at least another hour though.

 

[Techie2000]

I certainly don't!

Although I'm really waiting online, hoping a certain girl will appear on messenger...

 

[Techie2000]

Jeez, I think I killed the conversation again...

 

[Zoots]

Jeez, I think I killed the conversation again...

I thought I'm the thread killer here.

Must get to bed but can't...

 

[Techie2000]

U2Dem must have either lost her wireless connection again, or got too involved with a hot chat with Mellencamp or something.

 

[Zoots]

Mellencamp...

Heard 'Small Town' today on the radio! Great song.

 

[Techie2000]

I actually, ummm don't listen to Mellencamp...

I got some Elton John going right now though. I'm not the man you think I am at home, oh no no no, I'm a rocket man!

 

[Techie2000]

That reminds me, Junior year, they used to play music in the cafe all the time, so I gave the guy that plays the music a CD with Beautiful Day and Rocket Man, and he played it almost daily because no one else brought in CDs...

 

[Zoots]

Have you heard the Gimme Gimme's punk version of Rocket Man? Hilarious.

 

[Techie2000]

Nope, and it doesn't look like iTunes has it either...

 

[Zoots]

My housemate who is a big Gimme's fan has it. Maybe I can burn it on to my comp and send it to you sometime.

 

[Techie2000]

I wonder where DaveC has been?

 

[Techie2000]

My housemate who is a big Gimme's fan has it. Maybe I can burn it on to my comp and send it to you sometime.

Oh, that'd be excellent...

 

[Zoots]

Oh, that'd be excellent...

okay, I got it just now! whats your email add?

 

[Techie2000]

I PM'd it to you.

 

[Zoots]

I PM'd it to you.

I got it... ysi-ing right now.

 

[Zoots]

as usual, ysi is taking it's own sweet time!

 

[Techie2000]

Playing now. Thanks a bunch.

 

[Techie2000]

Wow, this is odd, they are singing it like they are on speed or had too much caffeine...

 

[Zoots]

yeah... the ending is quite amusing.

 

[Techie2000]

Oh my, I don't think it does Elton's version justice. It was an amusing listen though...

 

[Techie2000]

Well I'm tired. Goodnight bar!

 

[Zoots]

Oh my, I don't think it does Elton's version justice. It was an amusing listen though...

Well... if you're an Elton John fan, I'm sure you'll hate this version.

But these guys, they're called Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. All they do is punk covers of the unlikeliest of songs. eg.: Uptown Girl, Over The Rainbow, It's Raining On Prom Night.


Good night!
