It's been told to me that during the rare events of lunar eclipse, Green Sunfish are known to put down their arms (Death Ray) and hold hands while singing songs of distant planets and other universes. Then, eventually, they end up singing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall." http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2008Feb21/TLE2008Feb21.html

All though this night does in fact have ceremonial significance to the GSA, the ceremony specifics are a closely guarded secret. I can tell you however that the use of attitude adjusting liquids and Pink Floyd's surrealistic music plays a prominent role in the ceremony.
The lunatic is on the grass. The lunatic is on the grass. Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs. Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall. The lunatics are in my hall. The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
Why is it that song just seems to speak to me???

I'll be sure and include you in all future Pink Floyd discusssions.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Ah yes, I was once an unwilling attendee at one of these ceremonies. As the anticipation built to a frenzied level, the whole thing was called off due to the GSA not being able to get the 8-Track player to work (this was in 2006).

The event finally stops when both the GSF and RES in their utter ignorance realize that each and everyone of them is just - "Another Brick in the Wall".
Part I
Daddy's flown across the ocean Leaving just a memory Snapshot in the family album Daddy what else did you leave for me? Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!? All in all it was just a brick in the wall. All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
Part II
We don't need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Bell on the door ring, come on in Floyd observes my hairy chin Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid Steaming towel wrapped around my face
I'm ashamed
Barney ties me to the chair I can't see, I'm really scared Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip (self moderated) pressed against my lips
I was shamed
I sense others in the room Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume They take turns, and cut me up I die smothered in Andy's Clutch
I was shamed - - - - Floyd the Barber - - - Black and White Floyd

Dwelling near the Dark Side of the Moon (some call it border land) I am ready to celebrate by embracing the Beer Fridge and having my first Corona since January 4th (day of the bone sawing)!
Is this a great solar system, or what?

Eclipse (Waters) 2:04
All that you touch All that you see All that you taste All you feel. All that you love All that you hate All you distrust All you save. All that you give All that you deal All that you buy, beg, borrow or steal. All you create All you destroy All that you do All that you say. All that you eat And everyone you meet All that you slight And everyone you fight. All that is now All that is gone All that's to come and everything under the sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

San Diego Sports Arena

JHAP, I was eight years old when you saw the lights at the Zep show in '77.
Just FYI if you didn't know, there's a live Led Zep release called "How the West Was Won." It is crushing. If you don't have it you're missing out. It's been out for a few years now. The live version of Immigrant Song is unreal. Three disc set.

I always wondered why the heck Joe Frank got to use his whole name, but somehow only rated a second in the name order.
It's kind like Theo, Bruce Condello and Cecil.
