Scholars believe that "A Musical Joke by (Mozart) was..."a requiem for his pet bird".

Feeling humble? I know I do... :doh:

I wanted to be a freemason, but they wouldn't let me in. So I joined the Raccoon Lodge instead.

 

From the hallowed streets of Greenpernt,

To the shores of Sheepshead Bay,

From the Verrazano Narrows,

To Canarsie across the way...

We have come together, one and all,

In fellowship to commune,

And to glorify the Grand Exalted

Brotherhood of Raccoons.

 

I hope some day to be their Grand High Exhalted Mystic Ruler.

Hey, that song could be sung to the Marines Hymn. Did you just make that up? :angry:
