2009 Design Sketch

Irish Rovers

A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

    There was green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
    The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

    Green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
    Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
Hey Lord,

    I've got green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn
    I just can't find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

    There was green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
    And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

    You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
    You're never gonna see no unicorns

[New Lyrics]
Now you might think this is the ending to the song,
But I'll have to tell you friends that in fact you're wrong
You see, Unicorns are magical, so when the rain started pouring,
They grew themselves some wings and they took to soaring.

    You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
    But if you're looking for the unicorns, don't be forlorn,
    The second star to the right and straight on until morning.

Every story, every tale came from some where but we know not by whom. But we do know which have been crushed by those in power but we know not why? And yet they survive passed by those who know more truth than we will ever be told. We live a life based on someone else's agenda but that is going to end soon. Are you ready!

Bring forth the medallions Daniel!!! That is real!

THIS YEARS CHRISMAS OR 2012 ?? 

There is no Christmas in 2012, the world ends on 20/12/ 2012!! Might be at 8:12pm (2012). 

I thought the Mayan calendar has the world ending in 2010 ?

Will Carlton Sheets give a Last Seminar on his amazing no money down shistem for buying distressed real estate? Gordon Brown will probably show up.

Say wouldn't 2012 satirical tokens be cool? Like the satirical Hard Times Tokens? Bizarro is already making jokes about it, showing Mayan telling an elder "I'm only had enough room to go to 2012."  Elder: "Oh that'll freak people out some day."

[edix]

Some guy is already making satirical 2012 money. He calls it seige money and it is strips of silver with letterpunched legends. He's ottokane on eBay.

[longnine009]

Thanks Edix. I was thinking tokens that make fun of the whole thing and over struck with extreme prejudice and vigor on anything federal.

Thats correct as far as I know. December 21, 2012.

[Topher]

Anyone know what TIME on Dec 21st the world will end?  It's my wife's birthday and I was just wondering if I should get her a present that year or not. 

[Twoshadows]

Go ahead and get her the present! The world will be around for a time yet but I suppose there will be those who wished they weren't!

This is a non sequitur

If the world ends you do not care
If the world goes on , make sure you can take it back on a money refund in 48 hrs
