Auld Lang Syne

Recommended Posts

Happy New Year!

 

Here are Burns's words, in case you have to, or want to, sing them tonight - over 99% of the English-speaking people in the world don't know them, so be one of the less than 1% tonight who gets it right.

 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne!

 

~Chorus~

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne;

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

 

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,

And surely I'll be mine!

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

 

~Chorus~

 

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pu'd the gowans fine;

'T'we've wander'd mo'y a weary fit,

Sin auld lang syne.

 

~Chorus~

 

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,

Frae morning sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin auld lang syne.

 

~Chorus~

 

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,

And gi'e's a hand o' thine!

We'll tak' a right guid-willie waught,

For auld lang syne.

 

~Chorus~

What's the point of posting this when 99% of the posters are going to be too drunk to remember who they are let alone the song?

For years and years I was singing

 

"May old aquaintance be forgot

 

Da-dada-da-DA!

 

Daa-da-dadada-dada"

 

Eh, close enough.

I don't.

 

If only because someone must have footage.

Turns out it wasn't Tyler... my wife says I decked a bishop. Well, it could've been worse.

Now, when you say "bishop" you don't mean what I think you do, right?

A clergyman. I didn't mean a chess piece if that's what you were thinking.

You decked a priest?!?! Wow don't hear about that happening everyday.

Don't let her lie to you, She KO'ed a helpless old nun when she spurned her and her wife's advances. Either that, or Mrs. Marney does Kegel...

It was some guest speaker twit from a foreign country I'll refrain from naming at a vigil mass who had the incredible brazen gall to ask people to pray for "George" (ie, President Bush) and pray for him to gain a "better understanding" of the virtues of love and mercy and faith and renounce war before "the Adversary" could use his "anger" to "claim his soul." After the service I collared my archbishop and told him that his guest's language was completely inappropriate, deeply disrespectful, and practically criminal - in fact, verging on high treason if he'd been an American. He agreed and we went to see the fellow at the little reception afterwards. When I explained to him the problems I had with his sermon the cretin laughed and patted me on the cheek, and I saw red.
