Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why don't we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony (repeat and fade)
O.k., this was pointless and in questionable taste. But wouldn't you like to see them sing it together? Cable access, where are you when we need you most?

Just remember if the trailer is a rockin, don't come a knockin.
I once read a review of Paul McCartney's album, the one that contained "Ebony and Ivory." The reviewer, while admitting it was an OK tune, criticized the analogy of racial harmony by stating that the black and white keys on a piano were the products of rigid and arbitrary musical segregation, and thus more consistent with Jim Crow than racial harmony. Or something like that - I think it was in the Rolling Stone.
Tasteless, humorless...??? I don't know...but part of me feels really sorry for Foxworth. When I was "courting" my girlfriend I certainly sent steamy graphic emails and received steamy graphic emails back. Things I wanted to do her..things she wanted to do to me. That is one of the fun things about email...you can "say" things you wouldn't want to "say" out loud. What I don't get is why, after 6 years did this woman keep those emails. Did she have something in mind? This bothers me almost as much as the chocolate penis references.
OK, I didn't think the original post was funny buuuuut Jack danger's reference to the chocolate penis and Jack Bog's subsequent response about it ruining his Easter is freakin' hilarious.

It was tasteless. But I guess the Exiled Chief sort of invited it with the Chocolate analogies.
Citizen Foxworth may be looking for a place to stay depending on when the affair ended vis-a-vis when he married for the second time.

Try McDonald. I understand he's on cable access.
Although he's a pretty sensitive guy and it might be too tastelessfor him.

Bad Taste?!?! How about grossly disappointing. Not at all funny. No where on a par.

it was a kind of funny...

I dunno, I think those references were particularly harmful. They've certainly ruined my enjoyment of Easter.

Jack,
I love it when you offend people. If they can't laugh at this cheesy stuff, they're wound way too tight. I worry about them. Really.

This year there'll be less of a fight in quite a few households over who gets to bite off the ears of the chocolate bunny.
