Does anybody really know what time it is?

[Matthew]

Time won't give me time ...

 

[snoozan]

Tii-iii-iii-iime is on my side (yes it is).

 

[PussyWellington]

It's time to make love not war!

 

[MagicTongue]

Does anybody really care?

Considering that it can be a different time in other parts in the world, I can only tell you what time it is for those living in the Pacific time zone. 10:41 am and I do care because at 11:00 am I need to get my nephew ready for school.

NIST defines it, which is the easy way to do it. Can't really blame them - if I had a couple of cesium fountain clocks in the cellar I'd be tempted to define it too. So I just set my watch by their clocks, then ignore it, thereby triangulating myself squarely into the middle ground somewhere between obsession and apathy. Hey, whatever works.

Triangulating squarely? Does that work?

 

[Lex]

Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears

Oh, In time we could've been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time we could've been so much more
The time has nothing to show
because

Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
We got nothing
but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we touch was the heat too much?
I felt I lost you from the start

Oh, In time we could've been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time we could've been so much more
The time has nothing to show because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
We've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

 

[prepstudinsc]

Time after time...

For those among you of the action comic hero set, an oldie but sometimes very applicable:

"IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!!​

I loved the Fantastic Four!

Snoozan -- you're welcome, babe.

 

[jakeatolla]

Does anybody really care?

BAh, I liked it better when The Moody Blues sang it.

 

[B_Hickboy]

Time for you to stop fuckin wit me.

 

[JustAsking]

Time for you to stop fuckin wit me.

And that "Time Has Come Today".

 

[b.c.]

And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

"Boy George, I think you've got it!"

 

[dannymawg]

It's beer o'clock. Meet you at Augenblick?

Too bad it's a real estate office now

Did you know R. Kelly's pad was across the street at the time?...

Let us hit the Brain... EZ parking, jukebox rules, and I can get us comped...

As a teen, I used to babysit for friends of my folks, and the dad was a serious ham radio freak. I got to sit in his shack after the kids were asleep, and I remember listening to WWV and being fascinated with the signal. So much so that I recorded an hours' worth on a New Year's Eve, and used it as a click track/sample a few years later for my first attempt at building a song using a borrowed sampler keyboard. I dug out the cassette recently and committed it to digital for posterity - but it's totally unlistenable :biggrin1:

Time for you to stop fuckin wit me.

But I haven't even started... yet :biggrin1:


"Right Place Wrong Time" - Dr. John

I been in the right place
but it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
but I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
but I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
and I'm wondering what it's good for
I been the right place
but it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a bad place
but I'm having such a good time

I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a good talking-to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure my insecurity

I been in the wrong place
but it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
but it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
but it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street
See my life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
but it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
but I must have used the wrong line
I'd have took the right road
but I must have took a wrong turn
I'd have took the right move
but I made it at the wrong time
I been on the trip road
but I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
and I wonder what it's bad for

... I remember listening to WWV and being fascinated with the signal. ...

"click, ...., click, .... click, .... WWV National Bureau of Standards, Bolder, Colorado. At the tone, the Universal Coordinated Time will be fifteen hours, 24 minutes.... BEEEEEP, buzzada, buzzada, buzzada, click, buzzada, buzzada, buzzada, click, buzzada...."

Its been a while since I actually listened to it, but I have to confess to being a radio geek as well. Its the kind of thing you don't admit to very often. When you do, the conversation stops, people smile painfully at you and start looking around for an excuse to join another conversation.

 

[socoken]

I worked on a construction crew with some other younger guys, and "Hey _________, what time is it?" was code for "look around, theres a hot chick somewhere." It was pretty obvious though, cause someone would yell it, and a half dozen heads would pop up over the roof or around corners. I miss the summer.

 

[BillyPilgrimOD]

Et-Peter-Cetera?

 

[Ethyl]

Too bad it's a real estate office now

Bummer. When did that happen?
And, no, I was unaware of R. Kelly's residence nearby. Must have been after my time there...

Let us hit the Brain... EZ parking, jukebox rules, and I can get us comped...

I'm there. What do they have on tap?

 

[B_Hickboy]

Actually, it's twenty five, or six, to four.

 

[HotBulge]

Oh! Thanks for telling me. My diamond watch had stopped stone-cold dead.

Actually, it's twenty five, or six, to four.

 

[JustAsking]

Actually, it's twenty five, or six, to four.

No, its Quarter To Three. If you get that one you are too old.
