    happy birthday mr simon!

    What are his best albums?

    personally rhythm of the saints has to be at the top of the list. "hearts and bones" is on my list, but mostly because of the song "train in the distance."

    "still crazy after all these years" has a lot of his more familiar and really strong tunes on it.

    as always, music is subjective, ymmv :)

    I had the shit till it all got smoked

    I kept the promise till the vow got broke

    I had to drink from the lovin' cup

    I stood on the banks till the river rose up

    I saw the bride in her wedding gown

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I may be old and I may be bent

    But I had the money till it all got spent

    I had the money till they made me pay

    Then I had the sense to be on my way

    I had to stay in the underground

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I met the man with the thorny crown

    I helped Him carry his cross through town

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I met the man with the thorny crown

    I helped Him carry his cross through town

    I was in the house when the house burned down

    I had the shit till it all got smoked

    I kept the promise till the vow got broke

    I had to drink from the lovin' cup

    I stood on the banks till the river rose up

    I saw the bride in her wedding gown

    I was in the house when the house burned down

  5. Second Cup's Rwanda Cup of Hope

    oxfam & comic relief have puit seed money into helping fair trade coffee growers in rwanda. no amount of searching turned up anything about the second cup franchise though.

    Ok' date='I knew that...Although,I didn't mention anything about second cup,nor did I search for it but since its called the "cup of hope" and most headlines I found have the title "village of hope" attached to anything to do with Rwanda coffee,I put out a possible explanation for the "cup of hope".

    [/quote']

    it was actually sort of an encouraging read, at least as it related to the fair trade growers. for the average coffee grower in rwanda, they get something like 5 cents a kilo from the "big guys," where the fair trade farmers get nearly 80 cents a kilo.

    pretty astounding...

    I'm not up on the issue here but a quick google search led me to numerous articles about Rwanda & its coffee.Most having a headline like this:

    Village of Hope update:A cup of coffee that could save lives: Rwanda's war survivors reap the rewards of fairtrade

    Perhaps that has somthing to do with the "cup of hope".I dunno.

    Heres another link (although I only skimmed over the article as I have to take off)

    way to go polkaroo. after all, they started it :)

    if they are going to advertise it as "a cup of hope" then the least they could do is inform the people in the store so they don't sound like total twunts when asked by the public.

    Sorry, I was given the quote by my uncle (who is in the armed forces), I did not think his quote would be bogus, and I don't have a copy of the Koran to double check, oops.

    and sorry back at you...not at all meaning to take a shot at you, i heard this one a while back and it sounds eerily believable.

    thank jeebus for snopes.com!!

    Tim, look up ;) !

    I wish the stories I find on the internet weren't so evanescent. I just tried doing a search on this guy, who'd made a little splash a while back, and all I found was this:

    "I have a problem with violence as well, but we also have to be realistic. Peace sometimes just cannot be found and sometimes you have to show your muscle."

    Capt. Richard Compton, an Army chaplain with the 101st Airborne Division, who distributed Bibles with a human skull and bat wings on the cover.

    he's not all bad :)

    The idiot is really crazy, and has taken upon himself to fulfill a profecy made in the Koran;

    Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

    Just like reading the bible and deciding what parts to take seriously. He probably thinks that he is this fearsome eagle, and that this verse in the Koran is justification enough for his war on "terrorism".

    It truly scares me that people like that exist.

    while a totally agree that shrub is a crackpot, i think that the koran quote you quoted was " snoped " as an urban myth. i found a searchable koran site and it claims that the section you quoted is was less interesting :)

    [9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.
