TheOneWhoFell Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 This song reminds me of Malifaux... I'll post a video later... but just read the lyrics *snigger* The Irish Ballad (Rickety Tickety Tin) The Irish Ballad (Rickety Tickety Tin)(Tom Lehrer) About a maid I'll sing a song Sing rickety tickety tin About a maid I'll sing a song Who didn't have her family long Not only did she do them wrong She did every one of them in, them in She did every one of them in. One morning in a fit of pique Sing rickety tickety tin One morning in a fit of pique She drowned her father in the creek The water tasted bad for a week And we had to make do with gin, with gin We had to make do with gin Her mother she could never stand Sing rickety tickety tin Her mother she could never stand And so a cyanide soup she planned The mother died with the spoon in her hand And her face in a hideous grin, a grin Her face in a hideous grin. She weighted her brother down with stones Sing rickety tickety tin She weighted her brother down with stones And sent him off to Davey Jones All they ever found were some bones And occasional pieces of skin, of skin Occasional pieces of skin. She set her sister's hair on fire Sing rickety tickety tin She set her sister's hair on fire And as the smoke and flame rose higher Danced around the funeral pyre Playing a violin, olin Playing a violin. One day she had nothing to do Sing rickety tickety tin One day she had nothing to do She cut her baby brother in two And served him up as an Irish stew And invited the neighbors in, bors in Invited the neighbors in. And when at last the police came by Sing rickety tickety tin And when at last the police came by Her little pranks she did not deny To do so she would have had to lie And lying she knew was a sin, a sin And lying she knew was a sin. My tragic tale I won't prolong Sing rickety tickety tin My tragic tale I won't prolong I hope you like my little song You've yourself to blame if it's too long You should never have let me begin, begin You should never have let me begin.

TheOneWhoFell Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 LOL nice, prentending to be part of canada XD Heh I like that wording "last look of civilization" XD I did like main whne I was up there last time, its a nice state in the spring/summer. Winter will be interesting though.. especially Feb as that can be a brutal month for snow. How are the roads during that month? In Maine, Februmort is frigid... I mean, rediculously cold... we have an icy wind that blows through the state during that part of the winter. The roads are dryish... and icy. It snows in Februmort, but it's usually a dry powdery snow... but we get some melting too so there is quite a bit of ice on the ground. The highway is better maintained. This year it flurried both days of the con, but it was pretty okay--cold, but sunny to brightly cloudy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 If it is as nice outside there as it is here I can't blame you. 70 and sunny... its awesome! the wind is a bit cool, but totally tolerable...

Yeah only thing I would be worried about is getting caught in something with the Charger because it's Rear Wheel Drive >.> I like to avoid driving in ice and snow with it XD. So maybe a flight then, can't be much to fly from Manchester to there and catch a service to there etc. Eh we will see, still many months to think about it =) *Reads the song lyrics* Yeah... that is kinda creepy....kinda makes me think of Seamus if he was a girl lol Nice find =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why... but it is... you could bus though... and get a rental? or take a cab? or book early enough to get a room in the same hotel as the con? *shrugs* And I was taught that song by some of my crazy friends...

Hmmm maybe something to do with the climate or something.... or maybe its because of the lack of usual travel to that airport? Eh who knows heh. I'll figure something out by then I'm sure, just not to keen on driving in snow/ice etc. Had my run-ins with it I don't want to repeat XD Ahhh Crazy friends, the best kind of friends =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durek Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Posted this a few days ago in the North American section with no reply then came across this thread...don't mean to hijack or side track but its semi relevant and if you did discuss it some 40 pages back or so please accept my apologies "Not sure where really to post this so Moderators feel free to move. I attended last year my first Gen Con and loved it. I noticed other than the Wyrd booth (which i spent way more money than I had budgeted ) there were empty tables in the card hall where a few people played miniatures game including Malifaux. Is this where the forum people will be meeting, greeting and playing? If not where and when? We have our gaming club from up north Canada going done to play."

LoboStele Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm quite sure that the tables in the gaming hall would be a great place to meet other forumites. I know that's where I got to meet Sketch and Zee last year (though they probably won't remember me). I hung out for probably an hour and flipped through Zee's copy of Rising Powers at the time, and looked over people's shoulders as they played the game a bit. The game, and the online community in general, was much smaller last year, so there weren't as many folks hanging out there at that point. I suspect it will be much larger this coming year. Oh, and I'm down for some fun in the evening hanging out with you guys. Sounds like the Wyrdos can be a bit of a riotous crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
