The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
when the "Gales of November" came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side
coming back from some mill in Wisconsin.
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
with a crew and good captain well seasoned,
concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
when they left fully loaded for Cleveland.
And later that night when the ship's bell rang,
could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
and a wave broke over the railing.
And ev'ry man knew, as the captain did too
'twas the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
when the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
in the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'.
"Fellas, it's too rough t'feed ya."
At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in; he said,
"Fellas, it's bin good t'know ya!"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
and the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when 'is lights went outta sight
came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
they may have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
in the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
with the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral."
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee."
"Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead
when the gales of November come early!"

Huh. That's not exactly what I was concerned with at fifteen.

Down at Walgreens, Aisle 4, next to the Anthrax.

The nanotubes he probably made out of pencils, using his microwave and the incredible power of win.

It has actually been one year and three months and some days since your last spam talk. Hopefully we are good for another fifteen months.

I put the link up so your ASSness is fully appreciated.

@Yogi Those guns do not shoot rainbows, you take a cop into the crowed and "gut-em" people will die. Your words are that of a pissed off fifteen year old. But its okay that shit makes you sooo angry.

Your First Sift is on the front page--well done.


Front page... more like top fifteen!

You know what would be fun? T-boning one of these with a stock Camaro and snapping those rims, then driving away at fifteen miles-an-hour.

Though I've personally had enough of it, I gotta say, South Park has maintained an amazingly consistent level of quality over it's long run--unlike that other show it's often compared to, the one that started sucking hard about the 8th season and fifteen-odd seasons later still isn't dead for some reason.
edit: Come to think of it, maybe the 8th season was just the beginning of the decline, and the full suckage didn't start until about the 10th. Anyways, South Park is at 16, which is longer than any show has a right to, and is still pretty creative.


I agree that the Simpsons did start sucking however for those who are worth anything...ie those that have grown up with it, it's just an amazing show that'll never be topped. Also South Park does about 14 episodes a season whereas the Simpsons do 22.

That one always sucked.
