How old?

Gilbert & Sullivan

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,

About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,

I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;

I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!

Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus' uniform:

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle
  • from a javelin,

    When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
    And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",

    When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
    When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery—

    In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy—
    You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee.

    For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
    Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;

    But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
    I am the very model of a modern Major-General.


  • You just made me think of "The Pirate Movie" :D

    Longplayer is a 1000 year long piece of music which started to play on the 1st January 2000 and will continue to play, without repetition, until the 31st December 2999, when it will come back to the point at which it began - and begin again.

    It doesn't seem to have any words though:

    hehe..51%

    So, does that mean I should spend 51% of my time on Gilbert and 49% on Sullivan?

    I have been told this thread needed me

    um, is it misbehaving?
    or is it being a good little thread and deserves a hug?

    (Hopefully the hug, I dislike having to punish)

    damm. cuz i have been very bad and hear i need a spanking. :p

    Me too! Old school.. wait I mean Classic Rock for the win. :D

    I am sorry people are complaining to you. They obviously have nothing better to do then whine. We all know your purpose was not to make the mother of all threads here, but the temptation was too great to play around with it. When I posted my first post here I expected the thread to be removed by the next day. I had no idea this thing would turn into the juggernaut it is lol. We all love ya for starting it. :)

    I agree with the careful about the posts. In a thread this size I am surprised there haven't been more lol. If this was a third party forum it would be insane what would be in here hehe.

    I hope all that work in world pays off for you Rha. :) Just remember when you are ready to cut loose some and goof off we are here waiting for your return. It is a pleasure having you around when you are. Just sayin' :)



    thanks much, just left the hangout LOL

    as for the thread, hmm does that make you the daddy of the thread, being your post is what essentially kept it going
    me wanting it to die and you refusing to let it LOL

    I did not think it was near as bad as the Japan dog pic.

    it was the requirement of pondering the act and drawing a conclusion that makes it awful.

    you can always edit the post and remove the pic

    That one was in very bad taste (in my opinion) and it just might end up getting this thread locked...

    OOps... Well, I'm not looking again. I'll take your word for it.

    Please 3Ring, take both pics down. I agree either one could get the thread locked.
