I think we need a sing-along

... something to get all our pessimistic views and negative energy out. So today's assignment is to play add-a-verse with Leonard Cohen's 'Everybody Knows' using updated lyrics so as to bemoan to current NYM situation. I'll start and anyone can just add on to it as they see fit. Everybody knows that Delgado’s crippled everybody knows that Jose is lame Everybody knows that the bench is ancient and everybody knows that Omar’s to blame Everybody knows ‘bout the doc's malpractice it’s a lock just like death and taxes that’s how it goes when your season blows

Everybody knows not to go with J.J. Everybody knows not to go with Green Everybody knows not to pull the starter But everybody can't manage this team Everybody knows Kunz won't be the answer And Muniz sucks now for the Buffalos They don't throw like Johan throws Everybody knows

Did we really have to pick a song from 1988 that I don't know? Was this song even popular?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 05 2009 06:46 AM

I don't know it either. At first I thought it was that old chestnut about how everyone knows that an ant can't move a rubber tree plant.

="Fman99"] Was this song even popular? Not really, it just happened to be the one that popped into my head. I think I was listening to talk-radio yappings about how "everybody knows" that the season is over [because we know more than the doctors do ... and that Reyes will never walk again ... or that Wright will get hit by a comet this morning ... or that Fred secretly wants the Mets to fail ... etc] and the "everybody knows" phrase planted itself in my head which led to the song. Plus, I knew that there are enough Leonard Cohen fans here to make it workable. Or maybe the idea sucks because I reached too far and the thread will quickly die a painful death, I'm OK with it either way. I suppose if I knew how to find and attach YouTube videos it might help but I didn't think of it. so while I'm here: Everybody knows that the pen is leaking everybody knows Jerry bunts too much Everybody knows Ollie’s just a head case so don’t go get your panties in a bunch Everybody knows it’s beyond discussion that we’re due for another Church concussion and a broken nose as the DL grows

Talk Hard.

Omigosh! Wright will get hit by a comet this morning? And Mike Francessa didn't alert us yet? How did you find out if not from the Oracle? Later

Pump up the Volume. Not a very good movie. But 28% better than you probably think it is.

Aren't there only two decent Christian Slater movies? 'Heathers' and 'True Romance'

TransMonk Jun 05 2009 08:30 AM

Yup. I would put Pump Up the Volume in the decent category. Everything else is pretty much crap.

Soupy --- like <i>Tommy Boy</i> and, I dunno, <i>Ace Ventura</i> the key is low expectations --- so rent it, but tell yourself we all told you it sucked.

="soupcan":2sb7z9qh]Aren't there only two decent Christian Slater movies? 'Heathers' and 'True Romance'[/quote:2sb7z9qh] I'd add Broken Arrow to that list. Later Edgy DC Jun 05 2009 01:16 PM I'll say three times as good as <i>Broken Arrow</i>. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 05 2009 01:33 PM "Broken Arrow" is watchable... I wouldn't quite go so far as to call it "decent." (I'll afford "Pump Up the Volume" that courtesy-- not least because of heavy Samantha Mathis flesh-age. Grrrrrow.)
