Nothing.

also, lovely picture! what part of the world is it?

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Saturday, 5 July 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the view from my backyard, in Gwent, South Wales.

The highest, farthest hill on the far right of the picture, behind the right hand trees is a a slag heap, but covered in greenery so's you'd never know.

This looks amazingly like my old back yard - except the hill on the left would be as high as the rainbow. And the tree would be a crooked old pear tree. And my mom would look different (but have the same expression).

To get back on topic, I'm pretty sure there's a Benetton store at the end of the rainbow.

I like circular rainbows best, because no one asks this question of them.

ha ha, i love Zippy - how can he have arms when he has no shoulders?

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 5 July 2003 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

As anyone who has ever looked can tell you: a puddle.

At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied!

Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me?

I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by!
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
ending in the sky!

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain!
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain!

Believe me . . .

I'm always chasing rainbows
waiting to find a little blue bird in vain!

I like the Alice Cooper version of this song best.

When I ws in juniour school, there were 2 playing fields, seperated by a little slope - the "top field" and the "bottom field". One day, during sports, we were playing foopball on the top field (which had goalposts and stuff) and there was this rainbow, which ended in the bottom field, so we all stopped playing, and ran to have a look. Yer eyewitness reports that there was a beautiful golden glow, which, if I described it further would make me sound like a wretched hippie. I wd love to see this again, but I never have yet.

Well, I COULD get technical and say that since all rainbows are actually circular in shape there's no such thing as "the end of the rainbow", but that would ruin the pure poetry of such a notion. Ergo, I will have to say that what's at the end of the rainbow is a gift box containing a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, a jar of raspberry marmalade, six bagels, a strawberry cheesecake, an assortment of fudge, and a gallon of freshly squeezed lemonade. All of it will neither help lead to you getting diabetes or to you getting fat. ;)

Ugggghhhh - I used to love rainbows. Seeing one would make me smile and feel delighted and just all around quite good.

And then I met my Glenn, who is an Optical Engineer. And now, whenever rainbows are ever mentioned, he immediately launches into a (must be by rote by now) speech about difraction and molecules and inversion and ... (yeah, I tune him out) and now I've come to laugh when I see rainbows, because I immediately think of him and it's sweet and all, but it's not the same thing.

Ugh. Thank you, Kim. That was so NOT what I needed *grin*

These are the lyrics to my second favorite "rainbow" song:

Once upon a time,
In ancient days gone by,
Days were bright, especially bright
And I will tell you why...
'Cause every single day had rainbows in the sky.

Rainbows they were everywhere
All round on every hand.
You could always see them pouring
All their color on the land...
The rainbows changed the dullest day from gray and made it gra-and.

Then one day a silly moose
Decided they should not be loose.
He grabbed a bag and stuffed them in
Tied it tight without a grin...
And hid it in the basement to the people saddened through and through.

The world had grown quite bleak,
All the colors dark and meek.
Smiles had disappeared,
Much worse than had been feared...
With rainbows sadly locked away, what could brighten up the da-ay?

But then they found a tiny crack,
And one-by-one slipped from that sack.
When one gets away,
It leaps across the day,
And brings back hopes and grins and smiles and warms out hearts for miles and miles.

So when it thunders on a rainy day,
Cross your fingers in a special way.
Hold your tongue just right
And I can safely say...
Another rainbow colored brightly might just get away-ay.

Rainbows, rainbows....

Same album had the song about "I Hate Green" and "Curiosity Killed the Coot," too.

I just want everyone to know that reading this thread got that darn "Rainbow" song, from The Muppet Movie stuck in my head, so I just had to watch the darn thing - which is really depressing for a Saturday night when I've no-one to cuddle with. Maybe I need to develop a crush on Kermie.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Sunday, 6 July 2003 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Meow.

― mei (mei), Sunday, 6 July 2003 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, esj - and here I thought that I'd gotten that darn thing out of my mind. I guess that's what I get for coming back to read this thread again, eh?

Mei, is the correct reply a growl or a purr?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, speaking of rainbows and assorted sundry items, maybe y'all can help with a musical question:

What musical is the song about "How Are Things in Glockamurra" (yes, I know that spelling is butchered - that's why I can't g**gle the darn thing!) from? And how is that last word spelled, when spelled correctly?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It's from Finian's Rainbow.

How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddie (lassie) with the twinklin' eye
Come whistlin' (smilin') by
And does he (she) walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin' willow
And each brook along the way,
And each lad (lass) that comes a-whistlin' (a-sighin')
Tooralay
How are things in Glocca Morra
This fine day?

― C J (C J), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Hiya, I'm Passing Open Windows. Don't know the correct reply.
Cats don't even really meow, they don't pronounce the 'm', that's a human thing.

Really I should arch my back and hissssssss when someone calls me a pussy.

― mei (mei), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Er I think what Tad was saying is that there is pussy at the end of the rainbow. At least I hope so coz I wuv Rainbow Islands too (hee hee)

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Weigh a pie

― C J (C J), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, C J. You've helped me win a bet, which means I am getting a fot and back massage this evening. Much obliged.

Mei - arching and hissing sounds cute. I remember reading or hearing somewhere about all of the different sounds that cats are supposed to make in different languages (like "mew" and "mrorrrr" and so forth).

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Birds fly over the rainbow, why, oh why canned eyes.

Hairlipped cats go "Meowf".
