I've always told Nicolai (my husband) who would also make a great herald that

Earthspirit in boston has a whole batch of yule carols, and then there
are several of Gwydion's songs that can be used.

     A recent song I wrote about a friend of mine.  Some of it is true.

     Well this is the tale of a wanderin' young man,
     A Shindar called Freyfax by some,
     He was making his way through our wicked world,
     Just trying to have him some fun.

     He walked into London with only his clothes,
     And a lass whispered into his ear,
     He was shocked for a moment and then shook his hea
     And said in a voice loud and clear:

     "I'll never forget the advice of my mom,
     Who warned me 'bout women like you,
     She said never drink beer and keep you sword clean,
     No matter what else you might do."

     He walked in a bar for to get in the shade,
     A wench came to him with some beer,
     He sent her away with a wave of his hand,
     His words echoing in her ears:

     "I'll never forget the advice of my mom,
     Who warned me 'bout women like you,
     She said never drink beer and keep your sword clean,
     No matter what else you might do."

     One night, just for fun, his friends spiked his drink,
     And he liked it and had him some more,
     And when he came to he was somewhere in Wales,
     In the arms of a second-class whore.

     But he never forgot the advice of his mome,
     For more than a weekend or two,
     He always drank whiskey and kept his sword sheathed,
     No matter what else he might do.

  There's no particular tune to this, so feel free to be inventive if you
want to sing it.  And if you do come up with a good tune for it I'd
appreciate a copy of the music (being pretty tone-deaf myself [or Monotone
Abled for the PC amongst you]).

Doesn't this mean an awful lot of chips?  How many different colors are
there?  Presumably each person gets at least one of each color.  Where
do you get the chips (well, I'd try the local Fish and Chip shop, but
their's are all the same greasy yellowish color <g>).  I'm not exactly

I don't quite understand this.  How do you decide who goes when?  If
everyone has (say) a red chip, and they all throw them in at the same
time, what happens?

Could someone please post a transcript of a sample session?  Say with
about 5-6 people, and a couple of 'rounds'.  It would make it easier to
understand...

Possibly this should go in the FAQ...

Oddly enough, math was my main problem in chemistry too - only it wasn't that 
I was bad in it, it was that I made the fatal mistake of treating chemical
equations the way you treat math equations and kept trying to work out
LOGICALLY what the reactions between two chemicals were.  Since in fact the
equations are an attempt to describe what goes on, far more than to predict
it, I kept coming out with results that did not match the real world.  It
wasn't until the year was half gone that I realized what I really needed to do 
was MEMORIZE a lot of the flippin' things, and by that time it I never did
catch up entirely.  Oh well, I DID have fun in biochem.

With all due respect to Leslie, I suspect it's just that her mind doesn't
happen to work in that particular way.  And why should it?  I think the way it 
DOES work has certainly benefited both her AND the rest of us....

For reference, Bob Kanefsky has stated that he absolutely, positively, cannot
write songs to music that don't already have some form of lyrics to twist
around.  There are (as far as I can tell) some people who write wonderful
parodies, but don't have the slighest idea how to begin unless they're
reverse-engineering an existing song.  (Likewise, I don't think that _Spelling
Potato_ song that appeared in Xenofilkia would have caught on so well [I heard
it at almost every filksing I went to for 2-3 cons in a row... ;] if it wasn't
to such a commonly known tune as it was [Waltzing Matilda].)

I think Bob managed to sortof evade this in _The Unbearable Whiteness of
Clothing_ which was to the tunes of Cold Iron (Fish/verse), Demon's Day
(Roper/half of the chorus) and Dark Moon Rising (Roper/the other half of 
the chorus.)  I think they were going to have somebody set the whole thing
to a new tune since (IMHO) it doesn't work as well as it could; when I sing
it, I just kill the entire chorus since I don't think the transition from
Dark Moon rising to Cold Iron works at all, but the end result will be a
filk to
an original tune... ;)  [Although it _did_ give me a wonderful excuse to
ask Roper to rape^H^H^H^H look through his 1000+ page filkbook at
WorldCon..gee... I think I even copied 6 or 7% of it --- which now
consists of
about a third of my filkbook! ;]

I never sang "Lessons From History" at a filk, but held it ready
for the next time I heard "Break the Law."  Well, at Pennsic 20,
Leslie and I were wandering around doing the bards in search of circle/mead/
whatever thing (I do fill in for Leslie while she smokes and help
tote stuff.  Usually, by the end of the evening, there's a whole
'Leslie Entourage' vying for tyhe privilege of carrying monster. :-))
She did "Break the Law" and I came back with "Lessons From History"
She and I talked about it for aq little while and I thought that was that.

This year, at Pennsic 21, Leslie came up to me and said: 'I've written
an answer to your answer. You'll like it.  Come by Flaming Gryphon
Tonight."  Well, I did, and she sang "Targetman" (I am not going to post 
the words.  I don't have them infront of me.  Someone else can if they
want to be completeists.)  Well, I did like it.  But I still wasn't
satisfied, so I  wrote a response to that at Worldcon this year.

Title: Targets No More by Harold Feld
Tune: Trad.

(NB: the names used in this song are the names of the characters
from Fish's "Targetman")

Well my name is Gottleib and I was just hired
To reposes houses and cars
And I thought it was funny the way my boss smiled
When he told me that I could go far
Well I'm not stupid, I know what he wants
I know, what fate lies in store
But Goddam his eyes, he's in for a surprise
For I'll be a target no more!

Chorus: No more, no more, well I'll be a target no more
Goddam his eyes, he's in for a surprise
For I'll be a target no more

It's the same old game my ancestors played
They collected tax for the boss
But in the end it was always the same
The fat cats won and we lost
Now my boss wants to stir up a pogrom
Or perhaps, a new holy war
But it won't be the same for I'm sick of this game
And I'll be a target no more

Chorus: No more, no more, well I'll be a target no more
It won't be the same, for I'm sick of this game,
And I'll be a target no more

Now I'm not the only one trapped in this game
Or the only one who can see
The fate that we'll find at the end of the line
If we all don't fight to break free
So I talked to Brown and to Ching and Miss Lil
and the others who've been screwed before
When I told them my plan they all thought it was grand
And we swore we'd be targets no more

No more...
Well we swear we'll be targets no more
When I told them....

The very next day, we all quit our jobs
And we ran our own business instead
In 2 years we'd driven our boss out of work
In 5 years our old master was dead
So you who are slaves, from your birth to your grave
You who beg like dogs at the door
Shush you wails and your cries get yourselves organized!
And swear you'll be targets no more

No more....
Yes swear you'll be targets no more
Shush your wails and your cries get yourselves organized
And swear you'll be targets no more

'Tis the nature of the beast - laws have to allow for E*V*E*R*Y*T*H*I*N*G.

Anyway, I always just spell it out "Copyright" whenever writing it.  Why take 
risks just to save a few letters?

(Chorus)
Did you ring the phone loudly,
Did you leave your name proudly,
At the beep when my message has bade you to speak?
If you did, we will call you back promptly,
And if not, we won't call you till Friday next week...
 
 
Tune:  Ballad of Willy McBride

Send us your snail-mail address by E-mail, and we'll send you a
