The NOMs Come Out at Night

[_Bob Loblaw]

Just on a lark, "Bob," as you've spent probably 97% of your time on this board insulting my and other apologists intelligence when disagreement arises, and spending inordinate amounts of time casting doubt upon our levels of knowledge and education, while engaging in an incredibly little amount (none, as far as I can see) of serious, civil, critical argument or discussion, I wonder, if you actually think I'm an "intellectual lightweight," pick a subject upon which you would like to discuss problems or debate an opposing view, put it up here (or, let's take it to the celestial room where heavy moderation will ensure a basically uninterrupted field for detailed, methodical, point/counterpoint debate), and challenge me on it (providing its something I have some ability to discuss.

That's a dare Bob.

Stand and deliver.

Dare accepted. Please discuss Lacan's use of metaphor and metonymy as it relates to Saussure's concept of the Sign.

Okay, Bob.

That one went so fast over my head I heard a sonic boom.

Droopy?

[_Bond James Bond]

Time on my hands? This only took about a half hour, and then only because the original lyrics were unusually difficult to transpose to the desired thematic structure.

I didn't write anything because the lyrics were unusually difficult to transpose and I had to work a real job for eight hours.

Can you parody "White Lines" by Grandmaster Melle Mel?

Periods are free.

And parentheses come in pairs.

They also should be closed before the comma: "Bob", "intellectual lightweight",

They also should be closed before the comma: "Bob", "intellectual lightweight",

Ahem. From Chicago 6.8: "Periods and commas precede closing quotation marks, whether double or single."

Wat? Alright Droopy was a right winger.

The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
(the NOMS come out)
The NOMs come out at night

Gay bars don't open 'till after dark
And with Obama in town now the party really starts
And my Che Guavara T-shirt is red
And you know I'm Left just a lemming that's led
Crowds of people lined up, hands reach for the cash
Just one reason, Its Obama's stash
Now its on Sunday I play the game
I couldn't be a NOM anytime, 'cause

The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
(the NOMS come out)
The NOMs come out at night

You know NOMs don't think like the average dude
They like Foucault, Marx and Engels and organic food
Count the hoops and earrings all in their ears
strange tattoos at which you can peer.
All kinds of jewelry on their lips and tongues
And you could come along and see those NOMs having fun
Its so strange, they could be Mormon all their life
But might not know they're a NOM unless you bust them online, 'cause

The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
(the NOMS come out)
The NOMs come out at night

Now the NOM's are jumpin', Barack is back
And now that hope and change is right on track
And before you can come on back and sink the ship
NOMs are all over you man, they don't quit
NOM's have to be hip, cool and stylish
But what folks say about 'em most is that they're smug and childish
They sneer and snort and bark, they call you from the dark
But most NOM's are known for steadyin' arks
Just don't ever try to penetrate the left-wing fog
And you may never catch a NOM without his Dialogue
And they don't talk, when they talk, they strut
And if you're a TBM you're just a mutt
So take my advice, and say a quick prayer
They're so far left they won't take a dare
To come on back to Church and live in the light
Watching Mormon Stories, fighting for gay rights, 'cause

The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
The NOMs come out at night
(the NOMS come out)
The NOMs come out at night

Dude, are you off your meds again?

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

That's a dare Bob.

Stand and deliver.

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine
All mine

We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation
"throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine, all mine

Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa
Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!...

[_Droopy]

"You've gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
I should find a helping hand

So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The relapse is an only child he's waiting in the park
The relapse is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the relapse does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out

Oh the relapse what a game he's hiding all the cards
The relapse is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the relapse does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

That's funny Cam, as the last time you showed up here roaring drunk and filled an entire thread with profanity-laced diatribes, I had already been sober about two years.

Back at it again tonight?
