Request Line: Drafting a Warrior

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – NIGHT

DJ 3000′ is located at the center of an otherwise empty white room.

DJ 3000′: HELLO EVERYONE. WELCOME TO THE NEW DIGS. DUE TO ISSUES BEYOND MY CONTROL, MY PROCESSING POWER IS CURRENTLY LIMITED. AS SUCH TODAY’S REQUEST LINE WILL BE PRESENTED WITHOUT FRILLS. PLEASE JOIN ME FOR THE TOPIC OF “DRAFTING A WARRIOR”.  WE’RE LOOKING FOR SONGS ABOUT SOLDIERS AND WARRIORS AND THE PROCESS BY WHICH COUNTRIES OBTAIN THEIR SERVICES.  IT IS LIKELY THAT A REALITY EXISTS WHERE THIS EPISODE COULD HAVE BEEN HOSTED BY PAT TILLMAN AND WRITTEN CLEVERLY ENOUGH TO AVOID BEING HORRIBLY TASTELESS AND OFFENSIVE.  THIS IS NOT THAT REALITY, HOWEVER.  SO IT IS PERHAPS JUST AS WELL THAT TODAY’S EPISODE HAS BEEN HASTILY PREPARED IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT SITE DIFFICULTIES DO NOT CAUSE WORDPRESS TO CRASH AND GOBBLE UP ALL THE KONTENT THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCED SO FAR (DESPITE ITS LIMITED VALUE).  I WILL COMMENCE THE PROCEEDINGS WITH A SONG BY THE GROUP SCANDAL FEATURING PATTY SMYTH.

Today’s theme is “Drafting a Warrior”.  We’re looking for songs about soldiers and warriors and the process by which their services are obtained.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(um5z3c0(k” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle song of “Black Gold” by Soul Asylum was requested by Gatoraids but identified as the puzzle song by Gumbygirl, so cheers to both of them! Valar Morghulis!

Browns grab a wr that had a 1st round grade. Denzel Boston.

WCS

Again, not pleased with The Pauls drafting cromulently…

scotchnaut

My Dumb Theory: He fell because he reminded talent evaluators too much of high draft bust David Boston.

*he was drafted 8th overall and at 6’2″, 240, was supposed to be the next generation of massive, dominant wr’s that Megatron and Andre Johnson turned out to be.

scotchnaut

Holy shit! I conjured Megatron out of thin air-he just announced the Lions pick!

/will I use my new-found powers for good? Stay tuned.

scotchnaut

Matt Millen was announcing the Raiders pick-I was hoping so hard that it was a wide receiver.

WCS

Why didn’t the Lions let him announce their pick?

scotchnaut

Nice. Giants grab a cb that had a 1st round grade. Deonte Banks* needs to be thrown to the wolves.

*a very shitty starting cb

King Hippo

Doesn’t truly fit, but I wanna post it:

Here’s the follow-up to the parking garage that partially collapsed last night. I took a couple calls for this, but not the primary one.

DRAFT IS RESTARTING

ALERT ALERT ALERT

DRAFT IS RESTARTING

King Hippo

By looking at the logistics, I wonder:

(i) what exactly is the point/FUN of being there?
(ii) how much public urination is involved (seriously, a river must run through it??)
(iii) can you smell it from where you live and/or work?

WCS

i: I dunno
ii. all of it
iii. not yet but soon

WCS

That’s… something? I genuinely don’t understand what that means.

I’d put these fellas three album run of The Waterboys, A Pagan Place and This Is The Sea against any other band. Here’s Red Army Blues, a first person account of a Soviet soldier forced to march to Siberia after the end of WW2.

“Listen, children, to a story”. Sounds like something a hippie would say.

Half of Maiden’s songs are about historical wars. Here’s an example!

That’s the other half.

Holy crap I had this up for posting when yours came through. Blair Witch avoided, but I had a copy of this on 45 that I got at a garage sale in late 70s for a quarter. I I think I also picked up Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I was an interesting kid at certain points

May have lost a million men, but we got a million MOAR….

Let the record show that Hippo drafted Saturday am post (saying it’s down to Spurs and WHam! (UK) for 18th), before Robins Hood decided to go all medieval on dat Wearside arse…

SonOfSpam

The Robin Hoods, unlike Nancy Reagan, are not super eager to go down.

SonOfSpam

Also, did you see that Leicester (playing today) has been relegated AGAIN down to League One? Their title is flukier by the minute.

King Hippo

oh yeah, I made a note of that in the morrow’s am post

SonOfSpam

I gotta read more better or at all.

In modern air combat, you will probably never see the missle that takes you out they fight so far away from each other.
