She's my Viking pride and joy
All good Vikings go to London
Just to steal the pomies
Watch out for those horny hatted boys!

Just a quick note to say that Rick & I are safely home now from our extended

need 2 buttons:  "Kamikaze Wheelchair Jockey" & "Graduate of Top Gun School

Since this is just a short note to say we're back, I'll do up a Magicon Con

You can also do "From the Halls of Montezuma" to "Deck the Halls" and
vice versa.

What was really frightening was the time my parents and I had gotten
back from a long day at Dickens Fair in San Francisco, and we were
discussing fitting tunes to poetry.  We managed to find various
Christmas carol tunes to fit all the poems in both Alice in Wonderland
and Through the Looking Glass.  [I can't remember them all offhand,
though I've got the list in a file at home somewhere.  I do recall
"Speak softly to your little boy" was Greensleeves...]  I could post
the list, if people are interested; when I get back to the SF Bay Area
in '93, I want to get a group together to dress in Victorians and go
Christmas Carrolling sometime, and see who notices that we're using
the wrong words...

    Now, like I said, this is a fairly small con (about 50 or so people
we are currently figuring), it's definitely no OVFF.  Also, there may be
some changes in the pricing.  It hasn't been decided, but at the last
concom meeting we kicked around the idea of lowered rates on people who
buy more than one membership (bring a friend...), but I can't ask Lee
before I send this as she and Tom (her husband) are at WorldCon while I,
alas, must stay here and slave away at work.  I'm just hoping that
Atlanta, GA wins out over Glasgow Scotland for WC '95, then maybe I
could go.  Oh, if you are attending OVFF, they will be there, probably
with the new flyer and any info you might want.

It was the 1982 Pan-Pagan Festival.  It's in G!  (One of only 6 Leslie 
Fish songs known to me as NOT being in Am!)  The chorus is very similar 
to the chorus of Camptown Races - my wife can't keep them separate.

Hi there.  Here, for all to see, is my first full-blown filk.  And just
remember, even if it is lousy you cannot shoot me because I am a filker
who sings in-tune :).

The song is entitled "Kill Files", and it is sung to the tune of "Fish 
Heads".

(R) Kill files, kill files,
Happy shiny kill files,
Kill files, kill files,
Hit <shift> K, fun.

At the noon hour,
Giddy cheerful kill files,
'gain at midnight,
When threads need to die!

(R)

I have a kill file
Specifically for cascades, 
Haven't had to see
A single one.

(R)

(Spoken) Happy shiny kill files
Have not been caught instigating flamewars
About subjects off-topic
In threads where the don't belong

Well.....actually, it's a holdover from the Old Athabascan, "Lut," meaning
"dipping a cat's tail in hot wax." This word was a loan-word into Mongol,
and was applied to the Mongol methods of shopping "lut, pillage and burn,"
thereby proving that Ghengis Khan played heavy metal and thrash rock......
(just look at any Molly Hatchet album cover....)

The Celtic god "Lut" is also involved, tho his wife don't know about it yet,
being fully named "Lut Lagnmfdhachdhackackackdh," meaning "he who shops at
the Mall alone, but sometimes with Buffy."

Then there's the segue over into Old Norski, "lutfisk," which is better left 
alone on a family echo.

The Archlute of Canterbury is another matter entirely.

  ML> which pokes fun at religion (and that would be considered poking fun
  ML> at religions) is allowed.

	The Seasons


The year begins amid the Winter
    When all the trees are dead and bare
The snow and ice lay on the ground
    And morning comes with frosty air.

Then Spring is here, and rain is falling
    Trees turn green, and start to bloom
The flowers "wake", and birds are singing
    To 'rouse us from the Winter's gloom.

The Summer comes, when days are longer
    And the heat oppresses 'till
We think fondly of December
    And long for the Winter's chill.

Autumn comes, and nights are cooler
    Colored leaves begin to Fall
Robins, Finches, ducks, and geese
    Flying southward, loudly call.

The year, it ends amid the Winter
    The trees turn brown, and seem to die
The days turn cold, as they grow shorter
    And dark, snow clouds, now fill the sky.

Into the Winter, and we find
    The year will end as it began.
From Winter, to Spring, to Summer, to Fall
    The cycle now begins again.

For that matter, you can sing "Clementine" to "Mack the Knife" and vice
