He couldn't think of anything fun or interesting to post so he posted something filled with "eye-rolling disdain". You know...to show how clever he is.

We know a remote farm in Lancashire where Mrs. Buckley lives.

Article showed cars driving in water where they probably shouldn't go. Every time it floods in places like Tucson, Darwin thins the herd this way. Particularly newcomers. I suppose that this sort of death is quite rare in GB, but perhaps that would be more important information than a stalled school bus.

Bob Able: I live in Earby

LOL, I live in Saddleworth (which, as the locals will tell you, is still historically Yorkshire, even though its in Lancashire). Wet, but no flooding (helps that the village is on a slope).

For the record, if you play it at 45rpm, it is *very* clearly "I buried Paul," not "cranberry sauce."

 
LegalizeThoughtCrime 2009-11-22 03:22:21 PM  
I can't believe the Beatles ripped off that awesome Bee Gees song from the Sgt. Pepper movie.


dan_in_oakland: For the record, if you play it at 45rpm, it is *very* clearly "I buried Paul," not "cranberry sauce."

If you play that part backward, you can clearly hear John saying, "Hey Paul, let's kick Clarence out of the band and steal all his good ideas!"

/would be 'obscure' anywhere but Fark.

 
JSTACAT 2009-11-22 03:24:28 PM  
from wiki;
"There is little evidence of prehistoric settlement in the Blakewater valley, in which Blackburn later developed. It is generally thought that most human activity in East Lancashire during this period occurred on hilltops."

looks like some clever boffins didn't figure out exactly why their ancestors lived on the hilltops.

as global warming gets into full swing with a more active solar phase, The UK & eastern US could start receiving as much rain as the Olympic peninsula.

Despite "LegalizeThoughtCrime", I get a strong feeling that "Sgt Pepper" has become obscure, even on Fark, when the we can't even get the opening line of "A Day in the Life" accurately.

sad.

BasqueBastard: If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now...

A hedgehog in your bustle, however, would be completely different.
Alarm would be appropriate under those circumstances.

FTFA:"They were taken to the nearby Spread Eagle Hotel where they were attended by paramedics. "

If Obama would have mentioned that's a service provided by Universal Health Care, he probably would get a lot more support.
