I decided to dedicate some time out of this very much dull summer to read a good deal of them. Just to add some kind of goal to fill the days. If I can find them all because it seems that I always find the second book of that Homecoming series but not the first. It peeves me to a boil every time I see number two on the cover.

Then don't leave it in the bathroom.
Sorry. I'm terrible. I really should log off.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, There they are a standin' in a row, Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head, You give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, That's what the showman said.
Oh I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, Everyone you throw will make me rich, There stands the wife, the idol of me life, Singing roll a ball, a ball, a penny a pitch.
CHORUS:
Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Roll a ball, a ball, roll a ball a ball, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch.

Thank you Pinky. That helps me a lot in my quest.
Oh, and Pooka. -smacks him across the face with the spine of Moby Dick- Hate that book with a vengence.

Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Roll a ball, a ball, roll a ball a ball, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch.
HA!

Why does that song make me think of breasts? That's just weird. And it has nothing to do with books ^^

Sorry the book was on a very high shelf and it slipped into pooka's face. Happens you know. Not good to waste water.
Ever been to Hawaii? They have coconuts too. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head!

*groan*
And whenever I hear that song, I just can't help but think of the scene in the Lion King where Zazu is singing it to Scar and then mutters to himself, "Oh, I would never have had to do with with Mufasa."
I can quote the whole movie. I'm not joking. Just try me.

What? You disliked the Lion King? I thought it was a very touching story about a lion and politics with music.
Why did you watch it so much then?
What is the first line in the movie? Isn't there something in the clouds and other things?

I like the Lion King, but... He's king of a bunch of people he has to eat! (except elephants, I'd like to see a lioness try to take down an elephant) What the heck is up with that?
Posted by RunningBear (Member # 8477) on :
its like reality, in a metaphorical sense.

Remember, this is children's entertainment. We ignore the obvious. Harry Potter certainly would have been allowed to keep living with his neglectful uncle who practically starved him and made him sleep IN A CUPBOARD. A dog is a *fine* subsitute for a baby-sitter. Lassie? I won't even go there.

That's why I love children's entertainment. It doesn't make sense in this reality.
Even made up characters need to eat sometimes to seem real. As long as the food is happy about it who cares. They were just happy that the circle of life was put back in order. So there.
