Avenger, your mission if you choose to accept it...

[Nick]

...is to write lyrics to the tune of Michelle Branch's "1,000 Miles" to celebrate my 1,000th post on ClanRam (if you have a better song featuring the number one thousand, go for it... I couldn't come up with anything off the top of my head).

You may begin... now.

[AvengerRam]

Oh man, now I'm getting requests! :redface:


I may not get to it right away, but I'll see what I can do.

[Nick]

As long as I don't pass another milestone any time soon, take your time.

[ZigZagRam]

What a milestone! You're up to 1,002! I don't know what I'm gonna do when you hit 1,004!

[AvengerRam]

Okay... first of all, I'm not that familiar with the song (which after I looked it up, I realized is actually by Vanessa Carlton)... but here goes...


1,000 SEILs

Coming from Morgantown
Typing fast,
Conveying thoughts the keys he'll pound.

Starin' blankly ahead,
Throughout the day,
And more and more his posts abound.

And some heed you,
While some dis you.
But here's your number…

When we log on there is this guy
He's here every time,
And that is why
That you know we've read a thousand SEILs
But he's a Ram fan true…
That's right.

[Karl-Baker]

Here's One For You, Avenger !!
Or At Least -- This Is What I Thought Of -- With The Number 1000


1000 Beautiful Things -- Lyrics -- by Annie Lennox



Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)
So ...
Here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find

The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(a thousand beautiful things)
To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So ...
Light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
never close my eyes ...
That is everything I have to say
(that's all I have to say)

[adarian_too]

Are you guys insane?

[AvengerRam]

I don't think I am, and neither does Jerry, the 7 foot purple talking mudskipper that works in my office as a paralegal.

[Nick]

Probably, but I'm lovin' every minute of it. :redface:

[afrightertoo]

And I suppose now you guys are humming to yourselves Billy Joel's lyrics "you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic they're looking for"?

[AvengerRam]

Now that would just be silly.

[ZigZagRam]

Crazy? That would be like Rediculous Day at the deli. Where prices were so low, they were rediculous.

[Nick]

Crazy? That would be like Rediculous Day at the deli. Where prices were so low, they were rediculous.

That one was just on the other night.
