ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle

At a native reservation in northern Manitoba, the locals would carry hockey sticks around to fight off the stray dogs.

Every couple weeks they'd do a hunt, where a bunch of men from the village would walk the streets in a mob with rifles, shooting the strays.

Sometimes, when they got bored, they'd shoot at the bushplanes flying into the airstrip too.

Now what will they eat?

Robert Plant's black dog ...

Poisoning is cruel. It is a slow, painful death. I would rather see them shot. It is quicker and more humane.

"Kahmir - it's not just the song that was playing on your stereo the first time you and your friends made a bong out of a 7-up can."

/ my favorite line ever

Damn, Arch Stanton beat me to it!

I guess I'll just go hang out in the grave marked "unknown" next to Arch Stanton's.

Subby wins.

Good thing the Marines aren't in Kashmir.

Strider?

Yes, but what's P. Diddy's response?

I'm always torn about Led Zeppelin. They have horrible lyrics, and Robert Plant is usually annoying, but most of the guitar and drumm riffs are so awesome that they're hard to dislike.

/didn't they write kashmir when they were in morocco, anyways?

I caught you smiling at me
That's the way it should be
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.

/bitteroldman got to it first, so I thought I'd elaborate.

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear.

You're really not helping me change my stereotypes of Canadians.

In northern Saskatchewan (Black Lake/Stoney Rapids), they have to kill the strays because they start forming packs. And those packs cause problems. Like, missing children problems.

The best Zeppelin song by far, and a serious contender for a list of the best songs ever written. IMO, at least.

/As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name

Arch Stanton: Robert Plant's black dog ...

That would have made the headline + infinity

...oh Jesus farking Christ.

PopeUrban: Strider?

"The drum will shake the castle wall the wringwraths ride in black,"

Having listened to a LOT of Led Zepplin, and as an avid collector of Robert Plant's solo work, This thread is outstanding

/Big Log

Stray Dog Strut?

But can they toss them off cliffs?

Ahhhhhhhh.....Hot Dog!

steklo: Sorry for posting that dog photo folks, thought we were talking about dogs in Kashmir. To make it up, here is a photo of a Led Zep fan holding a toaster.

Who is that anyway?

nstoppiello: Who is that anyway?

I have no idea. Some photoshopped chick.

Robert Plant's response:
well, nobody's fault but mine!

That's great and all, but subby fails on this one...

The song Kashmir wasn't about Kashmir itself, but a drug trip.

/yeah, I'm a Zep nerd.

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
They'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody

But you get the reference, right? What the fark is the "fail" business with some farkers? Were you trained in etiquette by 4chan? Ignorant peons trying to best someone who made a valid point.

cYn21: bitteroldman: ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle

nice

theewhiterhino: agree

"I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be secret to keep them so."

Fail?! There's no FAIL in Zeppelin.¹

After all, who here hasn't secretly hankered to spank a skank with a dogfish?


¹Except maybe for Bonham. But even his death taught me the valuable lesson to pass out on my stomach.
