It's from a song called "Tom Traubert's Blues" by Tom Waits. Excerpt:

"see ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow, a couple of bucks from you , to go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltizng Matilda with me.."

The song is often mis-called "Waltzing Matilda". Tom Waits is a great songwriter, though alot of people don't like the way he sings(I personally love his voice). An old boyfriend turned me on to him about 7 years ago, and this is my favorite song of his. He's not for everyone, but if you keep an open mind, you'll find he's amazing. Tom Waits fact: he wrote Jersey Girl (not Bruce!) and Downtown Train (not Rod Stewart!). In fact his performance of Downtown Train puts Rod to shame.

A lot of people think my username (which I use for everything, Yahoo, VMK, you name it) comes from the Australian national anthem and I'm often asked if I'm from Down Under.

So now you know! And aren't you glad you asked?:lol:

I've made a similar vow many times.
But, alas, it's 1 am now. :shrug:


Ditto.

Interesting.
How would he feel about a nightlight? :lookaroun

Possible, but is Doug cooler than Marvin?

Where does the time go??? That's SO annoying!

Nightlights are non-negotiable. I don't care what the PECO bill is. On the subject of nightlights, I personally find the odd shadows they cast more disconcerting than actual darkness. But I'm not 5, so what do I know?:shrug:

I've got a working theory that the boogeyman steals time.
...
I'll get back to you on that.

I just wanted to be able to see where I was if I woke up at night.
It was some kind of running-into-a-wall-when-half-asleep phobia. :veryconfu

Wow, I had forgotten all about that movie! And the book, come to think of it. I decided to re-read some Dahl a couple of years ago (the Charlie books, and James and the Giant Peach). Some fairly wicked stuff, actually. I can see why 10 year olds like it.

I was familiar with the phrase, but really didn't know where it came from.

Thanks for the music history/Australian sociology lesson. :cool:

I saw about a two minutes of it on ABCfamily.
I never liked it.
But you know how that goes.

Now you've got me wondering what would happen if Chuck Norris traveled into the future to meet himself and both Chuck Norrises roundhouse kicked each other. :veryconfu

Oh, the ramifications are far too frightening to ponder...
Wouldn't future Chuck Norris already know present Chuck Norris was coming, and have an advantage?

Well now, that is a point.

This is why I can never watch or read time travel stories. I end up asking questions the writers don't bother to answer and end up :dazzle:

(Yes, the X's actually occur.)

I still don't understand Back to the Future.
:lookaroun

There was a DC comics series back in the '80s where the group of heroes would scan their time viewer machine thingy and then bounce around time saving people, righting wrongs, etc.

Anytime they'd come across something horribly wrong in the distant past or future, one of them would yell "We've got to get there RIGHT NOW!!!"

To which any thinking reader would respond...."Um, what's the hurry?" :shrug:

How long did that series last?
Or is it still going on (in the distant past/future?)? :veryconfu
 
The Terminater movies always confuse me...but I love them...I just don't get the whole "if I don't send my father back to the past I won't ever be born" thing.:shrug:
