Like am I in the right place?
Should I be doing what I'm doing with my life right now?
Why I am I so stupid?
Why is there disease?
Why did God make boll weevils?
Why did she leave me?
Do you really love me?

I think I'll have a t shirt made that just says “bomp” in nice block letters.
Let 'em figure it out.
Heh - a serendipitous telegram, Rapunzel! By the way, does anybody really know what the BOMP is?
Thanks for the smile, Praveer, needed it this rainy Monday afternoon. I want the t-shirt too.
p.s. It's an inedible variety of radish.
*sigh*
no, silly, it isn't a radish at all….
http://www.bioinfo.no/tools/bomp
although I don't know exactly what it is instead.
But apparently blasting it will slow me down.
I knew what it was, rapunzel, but if I had just said, just like that, its a ” program to predict integral beta-barrel outer membrane proteins encoded within genomes of Gram-negative bacteria” then everyone would think I was showing off, and as you would know if you knew me better, humility is my foremost personal quality, perhaps my only personal quality. I started to say it was a Norweigan bio-informational thingamaguggy, but then everyone would think I was patronizing them.
So I said “radish”. Sue me. Smarty-pants.
Oh, that kind of radish.
Sorry, I put my smarty pants on backwards this morning.
Praveer!
After much deliberation, I have decided it would not behoove me to put my dip in the dip de dip da dip, as that would be double dipping!
however….I will seriously consider putting the ram in the rama lama ding dong, as I could use more RAM in my computer
your precision in bringing important issues to zaadz would make you the
rad in the zaadz de zaad da zad da dad de dong.
You a a hep cat here man….
What shall you do for an encore?
Al da da de da de ley
Trying to get it right has made sure that I ruin success in my life by not taking action. Worrying about getting it right all the time takes up alllll the CPU resources and leaves me with ZERO results but only descriptions of whats wrong and whats not.
And now that I can see it, I can go beyond by catching it whenever it is ruling me.
Nice share, Praveer. Thanks!
Wow. And I thought it wwas just one of things that goes Bomp in the night, Rapunzel and Donny. But then, what the bomp do I know.
I want a t- shirt too, please.
Hi Aman, good to see you in zaadzland, too!
Aley, Thanks for making it to the party! I can hear your real voice - the ram in the rama lama ding dong! It's full of wisdom and fun! As for an encore, I'll have to wait for the Bomping in my head to stop. Gotta admit, it is kinda catchy. Especially at full volume. In the middle of the night! It got Taurus yowling.
HUGE Smiles and giggling — did my parents dance to that music???
Blessings, David
My wife's mother has these tapes in her car, like those Time-Life music collections. This is on one of them. I also remember this song from very early elementary school, when the music teacher would drop the needle down on this one old vinyl with a rainbow sticker on the plug.
It's just a perfect tune. You can even take it as a very sarcastic statement about the Neil Sedaka-style vocables. But mostly, it's just a nice song. I love it so much.
Yes, David, I chuckle to think of it too! Actually, what I find even funnier is that my Mom and Dad wore such formal uptight clothes and thought thta dancing was something that you can only do in a proper setting - no boogeying in the streets, 24/7.
And Mike, my wife bought a collection of these from Readers' Digest! Neil Sedaka rocks!
Thanks Praveer! I love this blog post.
