    I read that in a Garfield comic. Then Garfield said, 'Poor Odie, he isn't even aware that he doesn't exist.'
    It is my brother's status thing under his avi.

    I can't believe in choir, the changed some of the words to Don't Stop Me Now by Quuen. I mean, I know there are innappropriate elements, but jeez, it is a song. If they didn't like it then why did they chose it?
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    Hehe.
    Choir's alright though. But I'm one of those people who will sing it any way I chose, probably not reading the lyrics anyway.

    It's a smiley, yes, though not of the smiling type

    This reminds me of my mother. She modifies lyrics, titles, people's names and people's quotes at free will

    My mum does that all the time.
    And she gets words that aren't in English and pronounces them differently than she should. Even if we could speak the language we wouldn't get it. But we do.

    Haha, half the lyrics in that song sound like sexual innuendo.

    Was it the "sex machine ready to reload" line they had to change? lol

    Yep! Spot on! They changed it to big machine . We laughed harder, but no matter what they made it we'd have made it naughty somehow.
    After we laughed at big machine, because that is funny, the changed it to great machine.
    We still laughed, but they just gave up after that.

    lol, ya "big machine" isn't much better.

    I always liked Killer Queen better anyway:

    "She's a killer queen,
    cut by the guillotine.
    Dynamite with a laser beam,
    guaranteed to blow your mind, anytime."

    We loved it. Absolutely hilarious. The teachers couldnt do anything because they couldn't prove what we were laughing at...

    Get the entire choir (hey, that rhymes) to practice it the modified way, but sing it the real way for the concert...you can laugh about it the rest of you lives...

    I'll try. We probably will anyway. Everyone is thinking it. Even in rehearsal we sing it the wrong way, and that verse is louder than all the others.
    We'd get in trouble though. We perform at important events so we are representing the entire school. We'd all get Saturday detentions, and it would be disgraceful.

    Hehe. Could do. Although I like to keep the peace. It is hilarious. It will be, I assure you.
