The BMsburg Address: @Zweiland's 1000th post

Zero score and zero point five years ago our founding narwhal brought forth on these interwebz, a new account, conceived in WDWMagic.com, and given the name "Zweiland".

Now we are engaged in a great dilemma, testing whether that website, or any website so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war, in front of Stitch's Great Escape in Walt Disney World. We have come to burn down a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those whose lives were taken by a small blue alien with disgusting breath. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not burn down -- we can not demolish -- we can not obliterate -- this ground. The fond memories of being terrified by an ExtraTERRORestrial experience must not have been for naught. TDO will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but they can never forget what they did here. It is for us the enlightened, therefore, to capture Meg once and for all. To torture her until she agrees to move the Laugh Floor, restore Future World, and tear down that BAH.

Of the people!

By the people!

For the people!

TROOPS, MOVE IN!



BWAHAHAHA!!!!!

But there's room for one more...

EDIT: I'm not going to post for a while. (Meaning a few hours.) I like the look of that 1000.

Nice speech! I'm sure the school children everywhere will be reciting it or something like it for years to come. That said, call us when you match @Nemo14 numbers then we will be equally impressed as you!

Do they even make kids memorize famous speeches anymore? I know we did in our little private school, but I don't remember my kids having to memorize any. I could be wrong.

I didn't have to memorize any speeches, but I did have to memorize The Raven my junior year of high school. Part of it at least.

Is that the "Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary" one?

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore...

Yep, that would be the one.

No. It's been there for a month or so. I was waiting for someone to notice.

I remember having to memorize that, proabably in junior high, but I don't remember much about it other than "quoth the rave 'Nevermore'"

My daughter's class had to memorize the BMsburg - I mean Gettysburg - Address last year.

 

[Nemo14]

I remember having to do that one too. At the school I taught in, we had Speech Meet every year and all the kids had to choose a speech to memorize and recite. We had regional competitions with it too. Some of them did some amazing work!

Even at my age, I don't remember having to memorize speeches when I was in school. Of course, it must be taken in account that when I was a kid it was closer to current events then history.

Reminds me, it was 50 years ago this month that Kennedy was assassinated. Seems like yesterday to me. My grandson has been asking me about it. It seems, much to my depressed state of mind, that I am the only person that he knows that was actually around for it. I was 15 at the time. Damn I'm old!

Quoth the Raven..."Nevermore"!

My favorite Edgar Allen Poe requirement was "Tell Tale Heart".

I remember it well - I was in junior high.

Tell Tale Heart

We read that one and the Cask of Amontillado - did I spell that one right?

If it makes you feel better my step-FIL was 40. He turns 90 this week.

I had to memorize Shakespeare's monologue from As You Like It AKA The Seven Ages of Man.
