    Prisca

    Prisca = the Latin version of Priscilla, my real name.

    I picked it many years ago for another DB. "Priscilla" was already taken, so I chose something that was still close to my name but unusual at the same time.

    I am a little bitter about the organisation and how it stole my childhood, but I do have a few sweet memories. Hence, bittersweet.

    From a Bob Dylan song (note particularly the last verse):

    Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again

    Oh, the ragman draws circles
    Up and down the block.
    I'd ask him what the matter was
    But I know that he don't talk.
    And the ladies treat me kindly
    And furnish me with tape,
    But deep inside my heart
    I know I can't escape.
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
    With his pointed shoes and his bells,
    Speaking to some French girl,
    Who says she knows me well.
    And I would send a message
    To find out if she's talked,
    But the post office has been stolen
    And the mailbox is locked.
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Mona tried to tell me
    To stay away from the train line.
    She said that all the railroad men
    Just drink up your blood like wine.
    An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that,
    But then again, there's only one I've met
    An' he just smoked my eyelids
    An' punched my cigarette."
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Grandpa died last week
    And now he's buried in the rocks,
    But everybody still talks about
    How badly they were shocked.
    But me, I expected it to happen,
    I knew he'd lost control
    When he built a fire on Main Street
    And shot it full of holes.
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Now the senator came down here
    Showing ev'ryone his gun,
    Handing out free tickets
    To the wedding of his son.
    An' me, I nearly got busted
    An' wouldn't it be my luck
    To get caught without a ticket
    And be discovered beneath a truck.
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Now the preacher looked so baffled
    When I asked him why he dressed
    With twenty pounds of headlines
    Stapled to his chest.
    But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
    Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide.
    You see, you're just like me,
    I hope you're satisfied."
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Now the rainman gave me two cures,
    Then he said, "Jump right in."
    The one was Texas medicine,
    The other was just railroad gin.
    An' like a fool I mixed them
    An' it strangled up my mind,
    An' now people just get uglier
    An' I have no sense of time.
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    When Ruthie says come see her
    In her honky-tonk lagoon,
    Where I can watch her waltz for free
    'Neath her Panamanian moon.
    An' I say, "Aw come on now,
    You must know about my debutante."
    An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
    But I know what you want."
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
    Where the neon madmen climb
    .
    They all fall there so perfectly,
    It all seems so well timed.
    An' here I sit so patiently
    Waiting to find out what price
    You have to pay to get out of
    Going through all these things twice.

    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again.

    When I finally got out of the WTS, I'd have paid nearly any price to get out of going through all those things twice.

    Just what it says MOUTHY!!! thats me... But I am not hiding either Grace Gough is my name-
    As the Brothers used to tell me "Grace I wish you would think before you speak instead of speaking before you think..." I guess if I had ever learned to do that -I would be able to thank them for two things.But since I never mastered it-I can just thank them for me quitting smoking......

  • maxwell
    maxwell

    When I first posted here, I didn't want to reveal my real name. So I chose this name. When I was in high school, there was a girl who would sometimes accidentally call me maxwell. She wasn't being mean or rude, it only happened a few times and she was a good friend of mine for the most part and I kind of like the name, but not enough to change my real name. My real name is Manuel. See the both have the same first two letters and the last syllables sound the same.

    I always find it intersting when these threads appear, and they do sem to show up every month or so, but so many new ones ( i can't beleive I used that expression) newbies have joined since the last one, that it is always fascinating to hear the explanations behind the alias.

    Walter WOW, I would never have guessed. Many if not most of us had that holier than thou attitude, while we were members of the Pharisees JW's.

    Most here know mine, though I still get PM's asking if it refers to vitamins or bombers

    xjw_b12 ex jehovah's witness.... be one too !
