Looking through Dina's and Ethan's weblog, there is a lot of reference to cold, snow, blizzard. As mentioned here -- http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2918&start=4 , "There is no cow level" is a reference to Blizzard games, Diablo, Diablo II and Starcraft. This seems to be very reoccuring.

Piiiiining = Monty Python reference? The Dead Parrot sketch?

Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?


The most Fjorded (word?) place in the world is Norway... stretch, maybe, but it's still cold.

There used to be this online journal I'd read where the guy would hide all sorts of stuff in his comment codes. He was kind of a punk, anyhow, but I loved pulling up that source code and seeing some sort of diplomatically-veiled comment about his job, and the commented smack. Also coming under his knife were former girlfriends, relatives, and the guy at the bus stop who always pissed him off. It seemed like everyone knew about the comments in the source code; a best-kept secret right out in the open.

I don't have any axes to grind, in that respect, but I also know that I don't want to bother you with this stuff - I'd want for you to seek it out. I also don't want you to worry about me. I really don't.


If this is a hint to look at the source, I must have missed something in the source somewhere. I'll keep looking.

Actually, yep, it was a hint to look in the source. See here.

I can;t find a song listing on line for the Vynyl. Only ones I find are the listing for the 2 cd set.

What song would that be?

Song 5, side 4 is Revolution 9

Revolution 9
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocals: John Lennon, Yoko Ono and George Harrison

[Bottle of Claret for you if I had realised...

Well, do it next time.

I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry.
Will you forgive me?

Yes.]

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number...

...then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
...about the shortage of grain in hertfordshire

Everyone of them knew that as time went by they'd get a little bit older and a litter slower but...

It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always/umpteen ...
Your father's giving it diddly-i-dee/district was leaving...
Intended to die ... Ottoman
...long gone through...
I've got to say, irritably and...
...floors, hard enough to put on ... per day's MD in our district
There was not really enough light to get down
And ultimately ... slumped down
Suddenly...

They may stop the funding...
Place your bets
The original
Afraid she'll die ...
Great colours for the season

Number 9, number 9

Who's to know?
Who was to know?

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9, number 9

I sustained nothing worse than ...

Also, for example
Whatever you're doing
A business deal falls through

I informed him on the third night, when fortune gives...

People ride, people ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

Ride! Ride!

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

...I've missed all of that
It makes me a few days late
Compared with, like, wow!
And weird stuff like that...

...taking our sides sometimes
...floral bark

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha...

9, number 9

...with the situation

They are standing still

The plan, the telegram...
Number 9, number...

A man without terrors from beard to false
As the headmaster reported to my son
He really can try, as they do, to find function...
Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high
And his eyes were low...

Alright!

It was on fire and his glasses were the same
This thing knows if it was tinted
But you know it isn't
To me it is...

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon to price it ...
Yellow underclothes
So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead
Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all
So I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair

I'm not in the mood for whirling

How? Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping
Birds for birding and fish for fishing
Them for themming and when for whimming

...only to find the night-watchman unaware of his
presence in the building

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9
Number 9

Industry allows financial imbalance

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

The Watusi, the twist

Eldorado

Take this, brother, may it serve you well

Maybe it's nothing
What? What? Oh...

Maybe, even then, impervious in London

...could be difficult thing...
It's quick like rush for peace is because it's so much
Like being naked

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright

If, you became naked

Side 4 track 5 is Revolution #9...yeah, I can see why she would be freaking out at that one. See below (I don't have it on vinyl, had to google it).

Quote:
Revolution 9
Turn Me On, Dead Man

Revolution 9 is a sound collage, and The Beatles CDography and Steve's Beatles Page provide transcriptions of the intelligible dialog in the "Revolution 9". Early in the track two men are heard talking "I know all about it George. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? Yes." Supposedly this short recording was John talking with George Martin about the placing of clues on the records. Several parts of Revolution 9 contain audio clues to Paul's death--the most noteworthy of these was from the repeated phrase "Number 9" . When this is played backwards, it sounds like "turn me on, dead man," which darkly recalls the line "I'd love to turn you on" from "A Day in the Life". In the sound collage of "Revolution 9" are the sounds of Paul's fatal accident. At one point you hear car horns, then a car crash, followed by a fire burning. When played backwards you can hear "Let me out! There were two. There are none now." When played normally you can clearly hear the following lines: "he hit a pole. We better get him to see a surgeon. So anyhow he went to a dentist instead. The gave him a pair of teeth that weren't any good at all. So my wings are broken and so is my hair. I'm not in the mood for words. Find the night watchman. A fine natural imbalance. He must have got it in the shoulder blades. Take this brother, may it serve you well" The final line marking Paul's passing of the torch to William Campbell


Revolution 9 is the imfamous Paul is Dead rumor song.

themes

there lots of themes running through all of Dina's blogs but one that has not been mentioned is colours. Various shades of red make an appearance in her writings.

It is probably just another wild stab in the dark but who knows.

Offtopic, but... ha ha, that's ingenious! But actually, the real start of that rumor is the end bit on Strawberry Fields Forever (released before Sgt Pepper's...). If you listen to the end, John Lennon says "Cranberry Sauce" (it was the holidays), but it's really low in the final mix. Some thought he said "I buried Paul", which sounds similar. After which, things started getting out of control... Rolling Eyes

Orange seems to recur in Dina's writing.

that weird flat orange
aura of firey orange
unblemished bright red or orange
orange julius
orange or cinnamon
sweetness of oranges in the middle of winter
Tart citrus

...maybe she just likes orange?

She's a songwriter. Maybe she's just trying to find something that rhymes with orange. I guess it's too late to suggest "door hinge", what with her being dead and all.

. Since then, it's been easier doing free verse, or internal rhyme, and not sticking to formulaic orange/door hinge type stuff.


I don't think she would appreciate that. Wink
