Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.

PONT-VIEUX
Les origines du Pont-Vieux - qui subit au cours des âges d'innombrables aménagements - sont très imprécises. On suppose sur son édification se situe dans une période allant de la fin du XIème siècle au commencement du XIIème. Sa situation géographique lui a donné pendant des siècles une importance de premier plan. Placé sur l'unique chemin de Nîmes à Toulouse, il est resté pendant 700 ans le seul passage de ce chemin pour la traversée de l'Orb et de Béziers. Tout le trafic entre la Provence, l'Espagne et le Sud-Ouest français l'empruntait. C'était l'un des ponts les plus grands de l'époque. Dans des lettres patentes aux Consuls de Béziers, Charles VII et Louis XI parlaient d'un pont "de grande ancienneté, somptueux et de grand édifice". Le Pont-Vieux est l'un des enfants chéris des Biterrois.
OLD BRIDGE
The origins of the Old Bridge - experiences over the ages countless amenities - are very imprecise. Assume its building is in a period from the late eleventh century to the beginning of the XII. Its geographical location has given it for centuries a prominent importance. Placed on the unique path from Nimes to Toulouse he remained for 700 years the only crossing that road to the crossing of the Orb and Beziers. All traffic between Provence, Spain and southwestern French borrowed it. It was one of the greatest bridges of the time. In letters patent to the Consuls of Beziers, Charles VII and Louis XI spoke of a bridge "of great antiquity, sumptuous and magnificent building." The Old Bridge is one of the darlings of Beziers.
Inside view of Dome, Little Ayasofya - Sightseeing in Istanbul Turkey – Historical City Straddling Two Continents
Little Hagia Sophia was built between the years 527 and 536 AD (some years before the erection of Hagia Sophia), during the reign of Justinian, as Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. The place chosen for the new church was an irregular area between the palace of Hormisdas (the house of Justinian before his accession to the throne) and the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. The two Churches shared then the same Narthex, atrium and propylaea.The new chuch became the center of the complex, and still today survives in the south side the north wall of one of the two other edifices. The church was one among the most important in Constantinople.
Due to the strong resemblance with Hagia Sophia, it is believed that the building has been designed by the same architects, namely Isidorus of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles, and that its edification was a kind of "dress rehearsal" for that of the largest church of the Byzantine Empire.
After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the church remained untouched until the reign of Bayezid II. Then it was transformed in a mosque by Hüseyin Agha, the chef of the Aghas, which were the custodians of Bab-i-saadet ("The Gate of happiness" in Turkish) in the Sultan's Palace. At that time the portico and a Madrasah have been added to the building, while the mosaics which adorned the church were destroyed.
Some years ago the edifice, because of the heavy damages caused along its life by humidity and earthquakes, had been added to the UNESCO Watchlist of the endangered monuments. After an extensive restoration lasted several years and ended in September 2006, it has been opened again to the public.

The Spirit Of Windsor – Engine 5588
This Pacific Type 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive is dedicated to the memory of the glorious Steam Era in Canadian railroading and to the Citizens of Windsor.
No. 5588 was built in the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1911 for the Canadian National Railways and saw many years of fast freight and passenger service in Southern Ontario before being retired in 1961.
In 1962 the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario (Windsor) launched a public campaign to save old 5588 from the scrap heap and to bring it to Windsor for the edification of our and future generations.
Christened “The Spirit Of Windsor”, No. 5588 was dedicated to the community on May 6, 1963.

Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the châteaux of Blois and Amboise.
Saint-Stephen Cathedral Metz, France, is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir. The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552. In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764. In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.

Construction history

Warning to my great contacts: Within the next several hours I will be uploading waaaay to many bird pics for my new best bird friends... just blow of any e-mail notice, if you have one, and blow past them... they are more for my edification.
But do enjoy this one... I picked it out especially for you....
Early the other day I saw my neighbor, Claire the resident bird expert, and her sister walking by with binoculars.
I ran out in my pjs asking if they were going bird-watching, to which they answered "yes". I invited myself (promising to get dressed) and they kindly allowed me to tag along with my camera.
To my surprise, it was an annual winter bird walk and included elite bird watchers, one of whom was our local brilliant artist, Steven Louis Ball and his lovely wife as well as my neighbor and friend who is a biologist. I was in bird info heaven.
Anyway, I tagged along, took about 350 shots; Claire came over later with her book and helped me ID the birds for which I could remember their names, etc.
It was a lovely bird day and I fear I've just developed another potential premature hobby.

80 years ago, implementing the policy of the Party Central Committee and the Directive of President Ho Chi Minh, on December 22, 1944, the Vietnam Propaganda Liberation Army - the first main force, the predecessor of the Vietnam People's Army was established. For the first time in the history of our country, there was a new type of army organized, led, educated and trained by the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh; a revolutionary army born from the people, fighting for the people, bearing the nature of the working class, the people's character, and the deep national character; fighting for the ideal goal of independence and socialism. After 80 years of building, fighting and growing, our Army is truly a heroic army of a heroic nation; a political force; an absolutely loyal and trustworthy fighting force of the Party, the State and the people; fulfilling the functions of a fighting army, a working army, a production labor army, worthy of President Ho Chi Minh's praise: "Our army is loyal to the Party, filial to the people, ready to fight and sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for socialism. Every task is completed, every difficulty is overcome, every enemy is defeated".
Entering the period of building and defending the Fatherland, our army has always successfully completed all tasks assigned by the Party and the State; constantly building a politically strong, disciplined, elite and gradually modernized army; training discipline, combat readiness, not being passive or surprised in any situation in the process of building and defending the socialist Fatherland of Vietnam; protect peace, stability, development in the region and the world, worthy of the name "Heroic Vietnam People's Army". From the affirmed role and position of the people's war, the whole people, the whole country through the resistance wars under the leadership of the Party, in accordance with the aspirations of the people of the whole country, on October 17, 1989, the Central Party Secretariat (term VI) issued Directive No. 381 - CT/TW, deciding to take the founding day of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22) as the National Defense Day. From here, December 22 truly became a traditional festival to protect the Fatherland, a festival to honor and multiply the beautiful image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" - a unique beauty of Vietnamese national culture in the new era. This is also an opportunity to promote the tradition of patriotism, demonstrate the strength of national solidarity and the determination of the entire Party, people and army in the cause of building and firmly defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the new era. Building a national defense for all people is the core factor and foundation for our country to strengthen its defense strength and protect the Fatherland.
Proud of the great achievements and glorious traditions of the Vietnam People's Army, after 80 years of building, fighting and growing, it can be affirmed that the Vietnam People's Army is a heroic army of a heroic nation, worthy of the praise of President Ho Chi Minh: "Our army is loyal to the Party, filial to the people, ready to fight and sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for socialism. Every task is completed, every difficulty is overcome, every enemy is defeated".
Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army and the 35th anniversary of the National Defense Day.

Pour la première fois dans l'histoire de notre pays, il existe une armée d'un nouveau style organisée, dirigée, éduquée et entraînée par le Parti communiste du Vietnam et le président Hô Chi Minh ; une armée révolutionnaire issue du peuple, qui lutte pour le peuple, qui a la nature de la classe ouvrière, du peuple et une nationalité profonde ; lutter pour les idéaux d’indépendance et de socialisme.

There is a
world-wide anti-Islam movement growing in the sane, CIVILIZED populations around the globe. And for good reason.
Those 'sweet, sacrin mouth' (American) Muslims who speak of their non violent nature and their quiet desire to simply worship 'their God' in peace is just one pile of crap. They are lying. Lying and deceit is at the core of their cultural nature.
A recent Pew, scientific survey of Muslims in America shows the vast majority of Muslims see themselves FIRST as Muslims (some see themselves only as Muslim), followers of Mohamed and 'in HIS service' through the edicts of the mullahs, clerics and ayatollahs. This means that anytime any of these spiritual 'directors' fart, a majority of Muslims will smell the 'sweet' odor of Mohamed's breath directing them toward heaven. This means that if these otherwise 'peaceful people' are told to kill other people who are not Muslim, they'll do it.
The entire Pew Study is quite an extensive, informative piece of work. Google it for your edification if you're inclined.
(Faisal Shahzad)
Yesterday, in New York City, Faisal Shahzad (a Muslim naturalized U.S. citizen) was sentenced to 'life' in a U.S. prison for his failed attempt to blow up his SUV in Times Square at mid-day and kill scores of American citizens. At his sentencing hearing, the court allowed him to speak a tirade of hate toward America and it's way of life. As ugly as it was, Faisal did state the feeling and the Muslim dogma to which most Muslims accept, if we are to believe the Pew study.
The condescending pundits among us say that most Muslims are moderate and reasonable people; peaceful; and wanting to coexist with the American cultural mixture of diversity. A Muslim hierarchy in New York wants to build a mosque near ground zero as testimony to their "commitment to blending and creating a mutual understanding among all people and religions". AND IT'S ALL ONE BIG PILE OF DOUBLE CRAP!
The reason we hear no condemnation of the so-called extremist Muslims from the so-called 'moderate/reasonable Muslims' is because there are no 'moderate/reasonable Muslims' when one gets to the bottom line of an EXTREMIST religion hell bent on conquering, killing and control.
So, what to do? Where are our politicians in all this? Where is OUR government? From the far right to the far left and everywhere in between, it is too busy serving their lobbyists and masters and maintaining it's static greedy power to be concerned with the menace of the Muslin world that lives on our doorsteps right now.
Islam has not moved out of the dark ages of it's fairy tale telling founders and it's not interested in doing anything but having a MUSLIM world in totality.
Even with our usual caustic style here, we usually look for and hope for a consensus approach to solving issues and problems. Tolerance, dialog and coexistence. There are, however, situations and circumstances when tolerance must turn to zero-tolerance.
Based on logic coming from hard evidence, we believe that time is now with Islam. The Islam world declared war on Western civilization a long time ago and it's time for the Western world to wake up. Shove those holy scarfs, prayer rugs and mecca clocks up those burkas and send the Muslims packing back to their tents and camel herds in the deserts of the middle east!

Back cover of "Toby Tickle's Puzzling-Cap", published by James Lumsden & Son, Glasgow. Superior Edition of Penny Books.
This chapbook, as the Victorian phrasing "puzzling cap" indicated to 19th-century readers, is a collection of riddles. Intended for the entertainment and edification of especially young children, the riddles are short and simply phrased.
Like the front cover, this page gives the chapbook's title and publisher. Identical in all aspects of design, it nevertheless presents us with a different illustration: A woman is seated under a tree, surrounded by three young children. The group's costumes speak of their relative wealth, as does their apparent leisure. The woman may be a governess instructing the children, or their mother.

Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
Le cimetière chinois de Nolette est un cimetière situé le territoire de la commune française de Noyelles-sur-Mer où sont inhumés les travailleurs civils chinois employés par l'armée britannique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Il s'agit du plus grand cimetière chinois de France et d'Europe
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Noyelles abrita une importante base arrière britannique dont un grand camp de coolies (travailleurs immigrés chinois). Ils furent recrutés par l'armée britannique entre 1917 et 1919 dans le cadre du corps de travailleurs chinois (en anglais, Chinese Labour Corps), pour des tâches de manutention à l'arrière du front mais certains connaitront les zones de combat.
Ils représentent l'une des premières immigrations chinoises en France. Ils avaient l'interdiction de se mêler à la population civile du lieu. Certains resteront en France après la Grande Guerre.

L'entrée du cimetière chinois de Nolette.
Ils étaient affectés à des tâches pénibles et dangereuses comme le terrassement de tranchées, le ramassage des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille, le déminage des terrains reconquis, la blanchisserie, les services de santé auprès des malades, en particulier ceux atteints de la grippe espagnole...
En 1921, le gouvernement britannique décida l'édification du cimetière chinois à Nolette. Le Major Truelove est chargé de sa réalisation sous l'autorité d'Edwin Lutyens.
Depuis 2002, le cimetière de Nolette est le lieu de célébration de la Fête de Qing Ming (Fête des Morts chinoise) en France organisée par le Conseil pour l'intégration des communautés d'origine chinoise en France.
On trouve dans le département de la Somme des tombes de coolies dans les cimetières d'Abbeville, Albert, Daours, Gézaincourt, Tincourt-Boucly et Villers-Carbonnel.
Propriété de l'État français et gérée par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, la nécropole située près du hameau de Nolette dans la commune de Noyelles-sur-Mer a été inaugurée en 1921 par le Préfet de la Somme. 849 travailleurs chinois sont inhumés à Noyelles-sur-Mer. La plupart travaillait au camp chinois de l'armée britannique situé sur la commune entre 1917 et 1919.
Tombe de Yang Shiyue 楊十月 originaire du Shandong, mort le 12 janvier 19191.
Beaucoup sont morts d'une épidémie de choléra qui a sévi dans le camp, de la grippe espagnole en 1918-1919 ou de la tuberculose, voire tués dans les zones de combat.
Le site est caractérisée par le portail d'entrée, les inscriptions sur les tombes et les essences d'arbres (pins, cèdres...) qu'on ne rencontre pas dans les autres cimetières du Commonwealth ainsi que par l'absence de croix du Sacrifice et de pierre du Souvenir.
Les tombes de ce cimetière sont constituées de 849 stèles en marbre blanc, avec sur chacune d'elle gravée une inscription en anglais « Faithful unto Death » ou « Though dead he still liveth » ou encore « A good reputation endures for ever » ainsi que des idéogrammes chinois et parfois, très rarement, le nom en anglais ou le matricule du défunt.
Le porche monumental et le mur de l'entrée tiennent lieu de mémorial pour la quarantaine de Chinois morts sur terre ou sur mer sans tombes connues.
Des statues de lions offerts par la République populaire de Chine sont situées, non loin de la nécropole, à l'entrée de la rue qui mène au cimetière de Nolette

La Casa Milà (en catalan, « maison Milà »), surnommée ironiquement « La Pedrera » (en catalan et en espagnol, « la carrière de pierre »), est un édifice de Barcelone, érigé entre 1906 et 1910 par l'architecte catalan Antoni Gaudí.
La Casa Milà, conçue comme un hôtel particulier, est généralement classée comme œuvre monumentale du modernisme catalan de la première décennie du XXe siècle, dont Gaudí était le chef de file. Ce fut l'avant-dernier projet conduit par l'architecte qui utilisa ici ses techniques clefs : l'inspiration naturaliste et l'arc caténaire.
Malgré l'opposition répétée du conseil municipal à l'édification de ce bâtiment en dehors des limites du plan Cerdà et les moqueries des Barcelonais, la Casa Milà fait partie, un siècle après sa construction, des lieux emblématiques de la ville et des dix sites les plus touristiques de Barcelone. Elle figure sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Casa Milà (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə miˈɫa]), better known as La Pedrera (pronounced: [ɫə pəˈðɾeɾə], meaning the 'The Quarry'), is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1906–1912. It is located at 92, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade) in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It was a controversial design at the time for the bold forms of the undulating stone facade and wrought iron decoration of the balconies and windows, designed largely by Josep Maria Jujol, who also created some of the plaster ceilings.
Architecturally it is considered an innovative work for its steel structure and curtain walls – the façade is self-supporting. Other innovative elements were the construction of underground car parking and separate lifts and stairs for the owners and their servants.
In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The building is made open to the public by the CatalunyaCaixa Foundation, which manages the various exhibitions and activities and visits to the interior and roof.
Here's another attempt at anthropomorphizing nature. It is basically the same technique as the Erlichman picture applied to a pine tree being strangled in bittersweet. Some people don't see him until I point him out. I dunno if that is good or bad
There is a similar attempt here
And for your pleasure and edification, here are the lyrics to...
The Jolly Green Giant by the Kingsmen
In duh valley of duh jolly... (Ho - ho - ho)
Heard about the Jolly Green Giant (potatoes)
He's so big and mean (artichoke hearts)
He stands there laughin' with his hands on his hips
And then he hits you with a can of beans
He lives down there in his valley (Brussels sprouts)
The cat stands tall and green (spinach)
Well, he ain't no prize, and there's no women his size
And that's why the cat's so mean
One day he left his valley pad
I mean to say this cat was mad
Now listen 'round he wasn't gone long
And then he ran into an Amazon
Well, this changed his whole complexion (broccoli)
He had never seen such a beautiful sight (corn)
Well, he looked at her
And she looked at him
And she almost passed out from fright
He looked at her thought, "what a dilly"
He touched her once she slapped him silly
This was something he had never sensed
He looked at her as she commenced
Now listen, pal this ain't no fluke
I can't see goin' with a big green kook
You've heard about the Jolly Green Giant (eggplant)
Don't let his troubles cross your mind (celery stalks)
He couldn't get Sally, so went back to his valley
The cat was color-blind
Much respect to ManParis for these archive beaut's...From ERZ member at large Dlite, who we lost to the North in 88. Our loss was Hull's gain as this guy would come out with such original stuff and was probably the nicest bloke in graff in those times. He schooled a generation of Chelmsford writers, myself included and with Ukma....he was not to be fucked with on the wall or the blackbook.

The object of this society is to help altar-boys to fulfill their sacred duties attentively and devoutly, through St. John Berchmans' intercession and by bis example, so that Almighty God may be glorified, and the people may receive edification. Among the simple little rules, we find that each member of the society is to avoid carefully unnecessary talking, looking around, moving his head and feet, or playing with his hands while serving at Mass and that he shall be punctual in attendance, and make the responses devoutly.
