Yes, this whole "flip" flap seems a bit overblown, but I fully realize that some consider it a call to arms. It just seems a tad ridiculous that a gaggle of grown men can get so worked up over a slip of paper. But then again spending big bucks on old card board probably would not be considered saner by the general public. I certainly consider
myself among the insane and my "moat" post this morning implied that we are all in the asylum. The "moat" was to protect the public from us and not vice versa.
With that I will pick up my fife and ask Peter to pound the drum as we all sing together ............
The Battle Hymn of the Forum
Mine eyes have seen the horror
Of the coming of the flip
That’s trampling on the vintage
Of our trusty battleship
Green borders have been whitened
How bland doth look the slip
The Forum marches on
I have seen the raging brush fires
On this and other threads.
We are not without our losses
Several members lost their heads
Our courage is ne’er questioned
We are truly leather heads
The Forum marches on
I have read the fiery gospel
In the threads of 54
Where the flip has been condemned
Before getting out the door
The echoes from the rafters
Shout “SGC No More”
The Forum marches on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our Forum marches on
The enemy is quivering
In their sequestered fort
Joe G has made his own flip
Demanding they resort
To employing his design
Whilst the new flip must abort
The Forum marches on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our Forum marches on
The pundits are uncertain
‘Bout the outcome of this war
Battle lines are established
Our flip we must implore
But our bravery’s now affirmed
For now and evermore
The Forum marches on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our Forum marches on
