'ello, 'ello,

I just found out about this group and subscribed last night.  I 
immediately start reading about "The Tap Room" that should be accessible 
with any browser. This may be old news to everyone else, but what is the 
URL?  

I have two reasons for subscribing to this group.  The second is to 
engage in stimulating discourse about TMDR in general.  The first reason 
is of much greater importance, since it has been on my mind for years.  
In the song "The Wreck Of The Fairchild," there is one brief vocal line, 
which doubles the bass guitar, somewhat near the end of the song.  Can 
anyone tell me what is being sung?  Knowing the answer to this question 
would be more gratifying than knowing the third word that ends in "gry"

Thanks to all,

J.D. Mack

Welcome, J.D.!! Be at the Tap Room at 7:30pm on Saturday the 31st of January,
California time, for the official opening of the new tap room - if you haven't
already heard!! I have never heard "Wreck of the Fairchild"...

NO!! Stop throwing vegetables at me everyone!! it isn't my fault I can't
locate a copy

...so I can't help you out with the lyrics at the end, I'm afraid. There are
many knowledgeable people who can help you here at Alloy though. Some of the
people here know so much about him, I bet they even know what he will be
wearing to tonight's opening. 

!!!!!!!!!

Hi, folks;

Hmmm...pretty obvious that Robin and I were both online and firing off
messages at about the same time, but I was just a little slower -- sorry
for the duplication!  (What's that they say about great minds running in
the same channel...)

See y'all tonight,
Beth

Actually, this is very new news, at least the current version.  There used
to be a similar page on the Flat Earth Society web site, but it disappeared
when the site moved and left many people mourning its demise.  (Note the
lack of apostrophe, Brian. :-))  Tonight, at 7:30 Pacific time -- that's
10:30 pm for those of us on the U.S. east coast -- there will be an
official opening with Thomas there live.  Woo-hoo!

As Paul mentioned, that URL is:
 
http://www.banshee.net/tdolby 

Look for the thread entitled "Tap Room Official Opening Night."  Also, you
will have to create a user ID and password, so if you haven't already done
so, you should get there a little early.

I'm not sure about your question, since I'm not very familiar with the song
yet myself, but surely someone here can shed light on it.  You might also
post a thread to the Tap Room since a lot of folks will be there tonight.

Cheers,
Beth Meyer

Welcome, J.D.!

To answer your question, the only line sung in "The Wreck of the Fairchil=
d" =

is:

   "Some fruit are sweet =

    And some are poison."

Perhaps you've heard that rare remix of the song renamed as "The Wreck of=
 the =

Fairlight", where the lyric is changed to:

   "It's obsolete
    And so's my Roland."

I can't seem to get into the Tap Room for the opening. And this tight black
crushed velvet number I'm wearing in Thomas' honor is getting rather itchy.

Dave says try again in a minute or two. *SIGH!!!!!*
