As you know, I enjoy looking back in the dark ages of this board to see what topics I missed before I joined. Sometimes I bump things that I like, and want ressurected, but sometimes I like to bump things that might make people in current threads think a little.
So I'm starting this log. I will post the topic link in this log, then bump the topic. If I bump this topic, however, there will be no need to link it (obviously)<---and, hopefully a rule here.
Feel free to use it yourselves, it might be interesting to see what threads get bumped.
So, to start it off...
I've always liked this thread, though I am not very good at composing Haikus. The other reason I thought of it was that we have just brought home the Two Towers. Enjoy: Uruk-Haiku

Papa Moose, how did you get the musical notes???
I already bumped this thread but sadly it has sliped again... it's one of my favorites. Hatrack Romance Writers Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Pop, I was thinking that too! But I can't remember the rest of it . . .

*considers Rivka's post an invitation*
muahahaha...
There's a germ on the flea on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea...
repeat ad nauseum.
You can actually go further down (there's a molecule, etc., etc.), but it just doesn't scan as well once you get things that are more than one syllable.
Edit: left out the hair on the wart...eeeeewwwwww....

Hmm, I think I knew a different version . . . This one is cute, though. Thanks for sharing it. Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
No problem! I think there are many versions...that's just the one I happened to learn Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Yeah, I knew a different version too, rivka. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
This is a great idea for a thread. It's like the greatest hits or something. Here is a thread that I ran onto yesterday during a search for something else. I thought it had dropped off the cue. I'm sorry, but this is one of the funniest threads I've ever seen. I really really laughed a LOT and it's even funnier if you can figure out who in the heck each screen name is. So, I present to you, Applications to Be a Hatrack Horseman of the Apocalypse .
edit to add the right thread. This is the funny one.

I just remembered another good thread: the photo album Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Dragon, this is what you type to get the music notes: *rummages around for scrap of paper*
&# 9835 and &# 9834 Only without the spaces imbetween the &# and the number.

Boy, glad you guys like the thread. And thanks Teshi, I've been trying to figure that one out.
I mean ♫ Thanks Teshi! ♪ Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
Thanks for bumping that Horsemen thread! Ever read something you write five months ago and crack yourself up? Geez, what drugs was I on?
[/immodesty]
I read that whole thread again from beginning to end. Greatest hits indeed!

This is the version I know: There's a fleck on the speck on the tail on the frog on the bump on the branch on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea...
But maybe that's not the right one either.
Btw, I LOVE the thread title... great job on something catchy!!!
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
We're going to have to keep this thread on the front page forever just because of Pop's formula for musical notes.
♫ ...lookin for fun and feelin' groovy...♫ Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Indeed. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Was it your formula??? I'm sorry Icarus. Come on, tell us who gets the credit and we'll give it!! Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
I'm going to put this one on too...when I went to look for it, I found it fallen to the FOURTH PAGE!!! What IS this world coming to? ladies and gentlemen, Begging the Question. Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :

Hm...yesterday I bumped TTT Parody just for some laughs and forgot to log it in here too! Sorry.
And by the way...twasn't me that bumped the sock exchange...it was funny though and I hadn't seen it in its original pass through the front page. Thanks to whoever bumped it!

Narnia, I don't think I've ever seen so much sarcasm packed into so few words. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Hey...I was serious!!
Edit: I'll take that as a compliment though.

Well there goes tomorrow's bump! Dan beat me to it:

Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
My sarcasm detector went off too SS, but then I saw that he was the one impressed with the musical notes, so I realized he was serious.
Either way though .
Is there a list of those things somewhere by the way? I got those symbols from a really round about and back-door google search.

Today's selection was suggested by my predecessor, eslaine. She enjoyed this thread when she joined back in July of 2003. This is a classic comedic thread started by Hatrack's own favorite finger-pointer (and you know which finger I mean) mackillian.
In it, mac struggles to understand the opposite sex, and yet, likely winds up with more questions about it than she began with....
The Bump on the Log now proudly brings you: mystery of men
Enjoy!

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
The Bump on the Dingle er, I mean Log proudly presents Icarus's fine (is that the right term?) thread about a female authors mistake of shattering "reality"
As you probably know, I spent yesterday running away from a big cloud of smoke and ash. In honor of that, and having missed yesterday's bump, we now give you:
Enjoy! Posted by sweet_sheepy (Member # 5136) on :
Does anyone have an audio clip of the Bump on the Log song? Would love to hear what it sounds like. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
My post on August 28, 2003 03:30 AM has links to lyrics, to audio clips -- the works! Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Yeah, Erik needs some contribution to this thread!! So here is a silly one, yet necessary in Hatrack History... insert topic here. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Ok, this one was a blast. For a good time, check out the Ralphie Headliner Goodness in Hatrack Headlines.

Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
i have nothing to contribute, but i found myself repeatedly entertained looking through this thread, and it was hanging dangerously close to the edge.
[edit: this is the first post on the second page, and i got really freaked out. for a minute i felt really stupid.]

If you go digging through the Hatrack stacks and find a classic thread, feel free to post the link here!
Share the fun. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
I felt like bumping this thread, for some reason. It's kind of a meta-bump.
I'm always afraid that certain threads, like the Uruk-Haiku and Orginal Potry, will get lost; why can't we archive those somewhere?
Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
Bump.

Bump for Dagonee Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
There's an eye on the flea on the wing on fly on the frog on the bump on the log in the whole in the bottom of the sea.
My little sister used to listen to this song ALL of the time, and it is sad that I still know the words after all of these years.
