John:
The urge to metaphysicise is as irresistible as drinking and dancing, Ron.

Deal with it.

Ron:
you deal with it

John:

John:
Man has He introduced me to some changes, with hints of more on the way.

He?

I'm personifying DQ as a "He"?  Not only a person, but a male person at
that.  How patriarchal.  How ignorant.  I can hear the howls of protest.

And yet.  I do.  And for a defensible reason too.

Because of a dream, that's why.

That's right, I met Deganidah-Quetzecoatl in a dream, a long time ago.  I
didn't know who it was at the time, but now I do.  The story is unfolding
before my very eyes.

Heya, and yours too.  Lucky you!

Ron:
Interesting how the mix of the two distinct cultural deities is offensive to some.
The mix of the great peacemaker and the feathered serpent of knowledge.
Some folks you're going to piss off no matter what you do,huh?
Deal with it!

One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup I did drop it
I heard him say as I made my retreat

CHORUS
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"

The laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me I came a-runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
I heard him sayin' as I turned to go

CHORUS
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"


I was way behind one day to catch the train
Taxi driver said "We'll make it just the same"
The speed cop made it with us
And as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change

"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
