When The Mill Shut Down / Will Dockery

When The Mill Shut Down

When the mill shut down
we hit the pavement with a thud
then we all got up and kept walking.

Some to the work house
some to the poor house
some to the whorehouse
and the grave.

I missed this yesterday, thanks to Jimmy for archiving it.

Not a bad idea, seriously... not much time this way, either, but discussions around here tend to happen fast, anyhow.

Wow, sometimes I wonder why you even bother to post here at all, the way you delete posts before we can even get a chance to read them.

Seriously, I have to say this is an annoying habit of yours.

An autobiography would need to go into more specific detail, such as:

No, there's a few more chapters left, such as...

And I still feel that we had a good weekend that time you showed up at
Doo-Nanny. Here's a photo Patricia just gave me of her and several others

Well, maybe I didn't quite misremember, then, since you just wrote in another thread:

"I think I gave the Shadowville T to my sister to wear as a nightshirt.
She lives in Italy, so the shirt could be anywhere."

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/83/fc/7d/83fc7df4427c7dbd0866efa2aa984530.jpg

So, you "think" you gave the George Sulzbach "Shadowville Speedway" t-shirt
to your sister, and whether she still has it is apparently unknown, so you
really have no idea whether the shirt was lost, thrown away, or whether your
sister still wears it, right?

If so, I don't "misremember" at all, since you have no idea where the shirt
is now.

See how easy that was?

You gave the "Shadowville Speedway" shirt to your sister, right?

If so, can you ask her if she still has the shirt or if she lost it or threw it away?

If she doesn't have the shirt now, and in fact lost or threw it away, then I was correct about what I thought happened to it.

Of course it would take some courage for you to admit you are wrong here.

So I'm not holding my breath.

I think that a comic book I used to read, "Gunner and Sarge" may have touched on that somewhat.

http://www.toonopedia.com/gunnrsrg.htm

The May, 1959 issue of Our Fighting Forces (#45) introduced a pair of Marines, a sergeant and a private, working together but otherwise alone, somewhere on an island in the Pacific.

Four issues later, they picked up with a German shepherd, addressed only by his function in the team, Pooch. After that, the series was sometimes referred to as Gunner, Sarge & Pooch.

Otherwise, it was pretty uneventful. Gunner, Sarge and Pooch hid from and fought an endless and expendable stream of Japanese soldiers until #94 (August, 1965).

All well and good, but "Killfile" was never mentioned, rather, Corey went on
about how he was a trained sniper and that if he wanted me dead he could do
it before anyone even know what was happening and then be gone before they
did, also.

All this is archived.

[Will Dockery]

So the comparison to M*A*S*H was more apt than I realized, apparently.

No, the opposite.

Why not drop this "bad ass" pose where you feel compelled to pick a fight
every day, and simply be honest, try to be a friend?

We have enough trolls spreading negative vibes all over here, yet here we
also have you (and Matt) playing the "thug wannabe", although I'm sure you
just do it to try to be funny, the effect it has is the opposite of that.

This is the J. Corey Connor I and my friends at Doo-Nanny thought we had
befriended:

A perfect example of how our lack of context and quoting renders our posts

As you can see, nobody, not even you, I'd wager, would be able to make any

The Sniper Wore a Starched Collar

In the beginning, the threat was set
and guided by a star called North er make that South,
the thousand mile journey began;
destination, Doo-Nanny. Target:
Shadowville Will, lead crooner at Hog Bottom,
best BBQ and flies and dust in town.

At mile 707, a voice rang out
as that sniper passed a sign
"Best Finger Picken, Drippin, Likken, BBQ in town"
and that sign became a sign
and the voice said: "Drop your long gun,
pick up instead, a cardboard boxed,
throw away movie camera, titled Kodak, and shoot
your target with shaky hands through lens
rather than scope and you will be greeted
as friend rather than foe, even though Shadowville Will
would have a chill, at first, who's on second?"

And so it was, a video of grainy dust to dust grew
as blood spilled, was forsaken
(except the poor pig, roasting on an open fire)
and the journey home brought smiles
to that sniper with starched collar,
knowing an Angel waited with open arms
and legs, keeping the last supper of mutton far away
from thought, but caution is sent to all:
beware the sniper with starched collar, as he whispers
'vengeance is mine sayeth me'...
while taking a pee, poo then wipeth

Praise Jesus (my landscaper) and Happy New Year.

Great to see you, Backpool Jimmy!

When The Mill Shut Down

When the mill shut down
we hit the pavement with a thud
then we all got up and kept walking.

Some to the work house
some to the poor house
some to the whorehouse
and the grave.

A lightweight poem about a heavy subject, but brevity can
pack a punch, as it does here.

I know that artistically speaking our culture favors threes
instead of fours, but would it be worthwhile to give a nod
to alcoholism here?

Some to the work house
some to the poor house

some to the ale house

some to the whorehouse
and the grave.

Interesting addition, Bill... and, hey, this morning marks eight years for me without a drop of booze.

Susan and I think that's cool. Was that a new year's
resolution? Whatever, it's working!

Amazing how Druggery's sense of time is so obscured that he mistakes minutes for years.
