There's a sign in my kitchen: "Plenty of people have eaten my cooking and gone on to lead normal lives." This was fun! 555

you've cooked up a disgustingly funny parody

Ya did a lot with little to work with.

Thanks guys. I really don't cook too much anymore - unless you consider nuking frozen dinners to be "cooking".

Sounds like a tasty recipe. lol Bunch a yukky 5's.

How clever are you, Mr Robinson? Not only taking an absolutely nothing OS and creating a disgusting masterpiece from it, but coming up with a brilliant title sub, and not even using it the parody! Fine form, friend. 555+

Best ever WDWDIITR parody in the history of the world, I say.

Thanks, Pat! Well, thank you, Kristof. I'll certainly accept and bow to the bon mots with regard to the parody content. It was totally fun to come up with the lines. The best part of a piece like this has to be actually singing it with the music. I was wailing it out - lol. The title? Well, in this case the title was the most elusive part. I can't remember exactly what got me started on the piece, except that I do know it was while I was taking a shower - for whatever reason I seem to get some of my best and wackiest parody ideas and line under the shower nozzle. I know part of it is mis-hearing OS lyrics due to the muffling effect of the running shower and shower door, so that triggers a lot of parody lines and/or titles And I do remember that my opening line was the starting point...even though it doesn't particularly portend much of anything. I actually had another title on this for a couple days, but I didn't really like it. As I may have mentioned before, I do vocal overlay recordings of just about all the parodies I write now and I was working with this one a few days after I finished writing it trying to improve the recording - that's when the final title came to me. Go figure... but thanks for bringing it up - I find that revisiting the process can be quite useful in working up new ideas, but I don't do it often enough - and after a week or so everything kind of blends into the "murky past".

Here, have three servings of fives

Can't say when I've eaten so well. What did I think of the food you say? Uh, er, it was interesting. Takes another swallow and smiles broadly trying to supress the gag reflex. Remind me to beg off if you ever invite me over for dinner at the Robinson's. Your parody is most palatable, but sustenance - NOT. No 5 star meal but a 5 star parody.

May I conclude that your guests did not take your wine and propose a "Here's to you, Mr. Robinson" toast. Very delectible, Paul.

PMS, Guy, JJ - Thanks! You will probably all be relieved and happy to know I don't cook much anymore and don't invite folks over for dinner, either. ~ ~ ~

Agrimorfee - I missed your comment yesterday, you must have posted it almost simultaneously with mine. Thank you very much, that's a heady amount of recognition.
