Goo goo goo jube.

I hadn't posted these mystical words for at least a few days, and much to my chagrin, I noticed that nobody else had said these very profound words either............

So as a special treat to all..........Goo goo goo jube.

I agree Craig - they weren't used by anybody else.

Now, is that a good or bad thing?

What are the qualifications to use them? What happens if you say them backwards? Can you say them backwards? Do they control the goose(s) flying south? To use it properly, must you be a left-handed Mac user and pronounciate the words standing in a counter-clockwise metric merry-go-round on Feb 29 in a leap year ending in "00" drinking de-hydrated root beer while the meteors land on you noggin?

Robert,

All protocal governing the utterance of "Goo goo goo jube" is comprehensively outlined by I.M. Denz in: The Complete "Goo goo goo jube" Manual. Ref.; Art.IV, sec. 11, Para. 1, Lines 1-878,666,666.

Robert.......

Good questions.......questions that deserve an answer.....

--I agree Craig - they weren't used by anybody else. Now, is that a good or bad thing?--

Well, not in this forum anyway........originally penned by John Lennon in his infamous 'I am the Walrus' which should have been called 'I am the Eggman' as it is said twice as often as 'I am the Walrus'. It's as silly as 'It's been a Hard Day's Night' actually being titled 'And I've been Working Like a Dog'.....

To quote Helen Hunt from that brilliant movie 'Twister', "It's a good thing".

--What are the qualifications to use them?-- You must have a Bachelor of Goo degree to use them. I do. Often I run down Main Street, shouting at the top of my voice, "I have a B.O.G."

--What happens if you say them backwards?-- If you say them backwards, you get 'meht'.

--Can you say them backwards?-- Yes I can. "meht, meht, meht"

-- Do they control the goose(s) flying south?-- Phlegmatically.

--To use it properly, must you be a left-handed Mac user and pronounciate the words standing in a counter-clockwise metric merry- go-round on Feb 29 in a leap year ending in "00" drinking de-hydrated root beer while the meteors land on you noggin?-- This is indeed a complex question, and deserves a complex answer. Although, technically, the answer is no, in practise you might say yes. Whilst left-handed Mac users often stand in a counter-clockwise metric merry-go-round, this phenomena is not unique to occuring only on Feb 29 in a leap year that ends in "00". Contrary to popular opinion and parallel to a universe in which it is accepted, nay, even desired, that men prance around in garments available only thru Victoria's Secrets catalogue, de-hydrated root beer actually enhances Googoogoojubianism. The famous Tesla, once mused about the correlation between duplisyllabicphrases ending in jube with the flow of electricity in pulse-electric magnetic resonance generators.

Of course, it is clear that your reference to meteors landing on the noggin is a red herring and merely designed to test my knowledge of Googoo. In this exciting field of dreams, meteors are only references to Semolina Pilchards lobes.

The apex of conclusivity to the matter came on the later album, 'Come Together', in which Lennon, (not to be confused with Lenin, who was in fact a famous baker from Des Moines) coined the phrase 'GooGoo Eyeball' in the verse...

He got Googoo eyeball She one holy roller Hair down to her knees Got to be good looking Cause she so hard to please

I hadn't spoken of this for fifty years. This is in fact a Googoogoojubilee.

hehe, you never should have got me started on Beatles stuff.

Diane I think your will like this one.

Within You Without You (The Beatles)

We were talking

about the space between us all

and the people

who hide themselves

behind a wall of illusion

never glimpse the truth

when it's far too late

when they pass away

We were talking

about the love

we all should share

when we find it

to try our best to

hold it there

with our love

with our love

we could save the world

if they only knew

Try to realize

it's all within yourself

no one else

can make you change

and to see you're really only

very small and life flows within you

and without you

We were talking

about the love that's

gone so cold

and the people

who gain the world

and lose their soul

they don't know

they can't see

are you one of them?

When you've seen

beyond yourself

then you may find

peace of mind

is waiting there

And the time will come

when you see we're all one

and life flows on within you

and without you.

Rain
(Lennon/McCartney)

If the rain comes
they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes
If the rain comes

When the sun shines
they slip into the shade
and sip their lemonade
When the sun shines
When the sun shines

Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine

I can show you
that when it starts to rain
everything's the same
I can show you
I can show you

Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine

Can you hear me
that when it rains and shines
it's just a state of mind
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Harrison)

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all...

Still my guitar gently weeps.

Yes, you got it!

"Rain" basically says, "Don't panic under adversity, keep an even keel". It stresses mental preparedness, yet it is also somewhat fatalistic. All of these ideas may be applied to Y2k, if we are so inclined.

Furthermore,

Verse 1 illustrates the survival extremist reaction.

Verse 2 illustrates the denial extremist reaction.

The chorus illustrates the balanced attitude one should hope to attain, even in the face of adversity.

Verse 3 shows that in the grand scheme of things, nothing has really changed, even when adversity does, in fact, arrive.

Verse 4 is a final and direct call to all within earshot for calm and balance.

Or maybe it's just about the weather...

-- Nathan (nospam@all.com), November 30, 1998.

Oh yes, one other thing, "Rain" is one of John's (but Paul probably helped). :o)

-- Nathan (nospam@all.com), November 30, 1998.

Mr Cook, it is either about the space between us or near bear.

I haven't figured it out yet either.

Its Within Me or Without Me.

Hmm, maybe Beyond Me.
