Awesome headline, submitter. +1

+1, nicely done

I smell 40below's hand at work in this headline, and am also getting off his lawn.

Nice headline.

ElPresidente: I smell 40below's hand at work in this headline, and am also getting off his lawn.

Nice headline.

I respect 40below greatly, but this time I get to take the bow =)

/subby
//"off my lawn" works in my case as well

Not only is this headline full of win, it will sail clean over the heads of, oh, 90% of Fark readers. Well done!

I have really missed that jingle being stuck in my head for weeks.

+1 subby

that used to be one of my favorite commercials

Hahahahaha... well-done, submitter !

Javacrucian: I respect 40below greatly, but this time I get to take the bow =)

Nice job. Instant nostalgia.

Brought a smile to my face and stuck an old tune in my head....

Thanks, I think.

Methinks subby has small children.

//for the Miss Mary Mack reference

hmmm. I feel as if I am missing something..

Very nice, Javacrucian. I can't give a +1, but you do win an internets.

I get it.
I get jokes.

Well done. You win a free internet.

We have a "Miss Mary Mack" book that my 2 year old daughter loves, so I give subby a hearty well done.

The deal also gives immunity to the Libyan government from any further terror-related lawsuits, the Libyan government official said.

Well, given the Libyans long history of reasonableness and moderation, I'm sure we can trust them to behave themselves from, now on, right?

/snark.

I'm too lazy to read the article, but the headline was full of win.

Okay, that's two... and I'm not seeing a Mary Mack reference anywhere in that headline. All I'm seeing is the old Libby's jingle.

Awesome subby, simply awesome!

Makes me want to stop at the store and get
a can of diced carrots.

Here's a snippet of the poem:

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.

Here's a snippet of the poem:
[snip]

I am familiar with the poem, thank you. While it does share the triple repetition with Mary Mack, that's about it. Have you ever heard the Libby's jingle?

My dad used to say that libby on the label thing...what the hell is that from?? Im 29 years old, I should know what its from.

TonySoprano: My dad used to say that libby on the label thing...what the hell is that from?? Im 29 years old, I should know what its from.

That was the commercial jingle for canned veggies with brand name Libby's

Whoa! Where did the Wayback Machine come from? Libby's, Libby's Libby's...

That farking song will be stuck in my head all day. Thanks subby ;-)


As to TFA, I still would not trust Libya. Crazy bastards.

My stepsister (She's a Brit) worked for Pan Am at the time. She scheduled flight crews for their flights. She knew the whole crew and lost a lot of friends that day, some who had been guests in her home while they were on layover in England. I always felt bad for her about that. It really effected her.

To each his own, I guess. I had never heard the Libby's jingle before, which would explain why Satan_Sunburn and I associated the headline with Miss Mary Mack.

Another who appreciates the subby's damn fine headline.

Here's a snippet of the poem:


That snippet has nothing to do with the words in the headline. "To each his own" does not really apply.

Mary Mac?

Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me,
My mother's making me marry Mary Mac.
Well I'm going to marry Mary, for my Mary to take care of me.
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac.
Ee di idle didle idle didle idle didle doh!

/GBS ftw!

N-e-s-t-l-e-s....

Nicely done! I made a Scooter Libby version back when we first found out it was him they were gonna throw under the bus, back in the day.

/it was redlit.

That headline is full of win.


/yeah
//get off my lawn

And we'll all live in peas and hominy.

Just curious.
At what age do you qualify for the "get off my lawn" slashies?

Frayed Knot: Mary Mac?

Mary Mac's mother's making Mary Mac marry me,
My mother's making me marry Mary Mac.
Well I'm going to marry Mary, for my Mary to take care of me.
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac.
Ee di idle didle idle didle idle didle doh!

/GBS Carbon Leaf ftw!

FTFY

/hate this song, actually
//love both bands though

Libya, oh Libya,
Say have you sued Libya,
Libya the ter'ist nation?

If you have, then they'll compensate,
If you haven't, too bad, too late!

While we're on the subject of jingles:


F-R-E-E
That spells 'free'...

subby is a jerk for reminding me that I am old.

/nice job on the headline though

This headline is full of win.

Way to go, Javacrucian. You'd been storing that one, waiting for the right moment, right?

/please vacate my lawn forthwith

txlewis: now gonna have that jingle stuck in my head all day.

I just had this jingle stuck in my head yesterday!

Fourth grade teacher used to say it whenever she called on a classmate named Libby... I suppose thats how I came to know it... can't remember the actual commercial.

When I read that headline, all I could think of was that someone should 'shop the "Libs! Libs! Libs!" guy to say "Libya!" instead. I would happily provide that hypothetical person with both a +1 and a golf clap.

\\crosses fingers and hopes

Yeah, shame on me for not knowing a commercial jingle.

So now we have dimplomatic relations with terrorist countries and threaten others?
