My grandmother had a thing in her easy chair, where if you get up a little bit, it would launch you the rest of the way. It was basically a big spring between the seat and the bottom of the mechanism. It was an odd feeling, getting pushed out of the chair by your butt.

But, being entirely mechanical, something like that could be hand crafted from recycled products, and fit right in!

Wouldn’t a trebuchair have to weigh almost as much as the person it’s trying to help out of the chair in order to work?

I’d prefer to move a chairapult, is what I’m saying.

Nashville is about 2 hours away and has a Macy’s. You can visit and we’ll go and I’ll bitch the whole time about shopping and such.

Come on. Working within a rhyming scheme isn’t that hard. Even if they wanted to leave the original “Mouse” lines intact, it should have been doable.

Now that’s interesting, because for the first time ever it was clear what the woman was singing, and that it was more about her reputation/expectations around her behaviour.

That has never been clear to me from the movie version. Probably doesn’t help I can’t stand the singing.

Honestly, I do not get the brouhaha over this song. It’s obvious they both want to get down, but what will the neighbors think? Well of course everyone is concerned about her safety and no one would fault her if she stayed because weather. They are cooking up their cover so she can stay over and canoodle.
