         <content:encoded><p>shades of Kc in 1976 and listening to a (now long-deceased) baritone male voice singing the "Balls to your partner (etc.)" song on the other side of the wall from your headboard.</p>

<p>It was actually a better experience than later when a  flock of KC SF fans made a group trip to Hutchinson and the Cosmosphere.  The motel advertised an  adult wrestling video and it sounded like the enormous  couple in the room over ours were viewing and practicing slam-f-cking..... it was scary. We thought the ceiling was going to fall in.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>I love you, Jim.  (That's what <i>he</i> said!) This has been going around in my head since Sunday night's pub sing at the NY renfaire, except our version is (roughly)</p>

<p><br />
Young Luke Skywalker, he was there<br />
Lookin for some nookie<br />
But he had to make do with Leia<br />
Because Han was with the Wookie</p>

<p>Singin, balls to your partner<br />
Your arse against the wall<br />
If you canna write slash on a Saturday night<br />
You canna write slash at all!</p>

<p><br />
And surely our version should be The Ball of Barad-Dûr?</p>

         <content:encoded><p>the other thing that made the Hutch trip memorable was that a) it was so hot that the body parts in the pool   felt good  and anythng not underwater felt sand-blasted and 2) hotel had an 'honor bar' happy hour, 50¢ a pour.  Some guests got f-king drunk despite their own small children being there.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>The Captain grabbed the Doctor<br />
By his lab coat pale.<br />
"I think I'll get my hammer out<br />
So you can be my nail."</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>The Doctor laughed most horribly.<br />
"If it's woodwork we do<br />
Then let me turn your offer round<br />
And make you be my screw."</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>Bad Horse whinnied at them both<br />
"It's time I made my choice<br />
And whichever one I choose<br />
Had best be friends with Moist."</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She no will slash ye noo.</p>

And offered Beast a ride</p>

     Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
     The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />

<p>The Borg have turned up in a cube<br />
They're looking for a date<br />
All resistance is futile<br />
You WILL assimilate</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Padme said to Anakin<br />
"We can't ball in this place!"<br />
So Anakin he shrugged and threw<br />
Her skirts o'er her face.</p>

  Who'll slash ye noo?<br />
  The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
  She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>Qui-Gon Jin was so upset<br />
To see what they had done<br />
He went and showed his saber<br />
To his pad'wan Obi-Wan.</p>

<p>  An' it's who'll slash ye this time<br />
  Who'll slash ye noo?<br />
  The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
  She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>Gimli took his battle-axe<br />
And swung with all his might<br />
For he'd be damned if Legolas<br />
Balled more than him that night!</p>

<p>  An' it's who'll slash ye this time<br />
  Who'll slash ye noo?<br />
  The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
  She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>Eowyn was ready but<br />
Estel he wouldn't stand<br />
She thought that she might have more luck<br />
By dressing as a man.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Nancy Drew stood quite amazed<br />
Amid the smoke and noise<br />
She'd just found out why Frank and Joe<br />
Are called the Hardy Boys.</p>

<p>    An' it's who'll slash ye next time<br />
    Who'll slash ye noo?<br />
    The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
    She no will slash ye noo.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>I was about to send a bill to Phil Lee for a replacement keyboard (#22's <i>Jesus just sighed and said "Fangirls will slash most anything."</i> resulting in the 'board's demise), but this thread is made of so much awesome that I think it best we start a Save the Keyboards fund for others who have suffered a distressing beverage spew over the comments here. Or maybe we should take it to the national level and join with surprised lurkers and readers everywhere by attaching a rider to the soon to be approved Clean LCD Act.</p>

An ancient martian trick<br />
Half the men and all the girls<br />
Got f***ed by his green p***k!</p>

<p>Now Luffy would nae be upstaged<br />
(The Pirate King has pride)<br />
So while he Rogered Robin<br />
She stroked their other sides!</p>

<p>Miaka brought Tamahome<br />
Yui brought Nakago<br />
The boys then got together<br />
And gave the girls a show!</p>

<p>Pepper Pots had come alone<br />
Or that was what she thought<br />
She found her boss a-nailin' Rhodes<br />
With both of their suits off!</p>

<p>Or, it's also possible that people are writing verses for the same tune, but at varying levels of skill.</p>

<p>But the most likely situation is that people are writing verses for multiple tunes, with vastly varying skill levels.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Trillian took her two pet mice<br />
And off to space they went<br />
The mice got off, while Beeblebrox<br />
Was probing Arthur's Dent</p>

<p>They met with Slartibartfast<br />
Who had some lovely fjords<br />
He like terraforming planets<br />
And tinkering with Fords</p>

<p>Fenchurch and Lintilla both<br />
found Random cradle-robbable<br />
Where fangirls are concerned, there's nothing<br />

To show his sturdy knees<br />
His ginger tackle all a-throb<br />
And swaying in the breeze.</p>

<p>He got an eyeful of the crowd<br />
And, not the type to haver,<br />
He took his manhood in one hand<br />
And prepared to toss his caber.</p>

     Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
     The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />

<p>Ico and Yorda, they were there,<br />
Beating off a shadow<br />
Until it whispered "We may suck,<br />
But we also always swallow."</p>

<p>Vince Noir, yes he was there<br />
With a veritable harem;<br />
Howard getting down to jazz<br />
And thrusting to the rhythm.</p>

<p>Sarah-Jane arrived with Luke,<br />
And covered up his eyes.<br />

Having many flings;<br />
Tails got very jealous<br />
When he took so many rings!</p>

     Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
     The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
     She no will slash ye noo.</p>

<p>Treguard of Dunshelm, he was there<br />
With a man named Strider.<br />
Treguard fiddled with his knapsack<br />
And pleaded "enter, stranger."</p>

<p>     An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
     Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
     The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />

         <content:encoded><p>Spongebob and Patrick were there!<br />
Though feeling rather rotten<br />
They couldn't resist the chance to find <br />
Who's the <i>real</i> Bikini Bottom.</p>

<p>   An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
   Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
   The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
   She no will slash ye noo.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Okay, time to give in:</p>

<p>Donald Duck spied Mickey Mouse<br />
His buttons hanging loosely<br />
And said, "I'll keep you entertained,<br />
While Minnie's fucking Goofy!"</p>

<p>An’ it’s who’ll slash ye this time<br />
Who’ll slash ye noo?<br />
The lass who slashed ye last, lad,<br />
She no will slash ye noo.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Boomer and Athena,<br />
Both sharin' Agathon,<br />
Showed how toasters get red-hot<br />
When you turn them on.</p>

<p>Both Starbucks were buckin'<br />
Their very own Apollos<br />
Then Kara groped around inside<br />
A Cylon Raider's hollows.</p>

<p>After adding Three to Six<br />
In search of number Seven,<br />
D'Anna asked Centurions<br />
To send her into heaven.</p>

<p>Admiral Helena Cain shared bodies<br />
With Ro Laren, Ensign,<br />
While Borgs and Cylons came to blows<br />
With Sixes and Seven of Nine.</p>

         <content:encoded><p>Not what I’d have guessed if you’d asked me what would make me delurk but here goes:</p>

<p>Sunny, Klaus and Violet<br />
were pleasantly surprised<br />
when Olaf’s Very Full Device<br />
stood, no longer disguised.</p>

<p>Bertie Wooster says to Jeaves<br />
how good this feels is scary<br />
and now I finally understand<br />
why you never let me marry.</p>

<p>And answering the implied question back in #17:</p>

<p>Zoe radios back home<br />
says “scrap your rescue plot<br />
a ravishing by reavers<br />
really hits the spot.<br />
