LYRICS
~ Transmetropolitan lyrics by the Pogues ~
In the rosy parks of england
Well sit and have a drink
Of vp wine and cider til we can hardly think
And well go where the spirits take us
To heaven or to hell
And kick up bloody murder in the town we love so well

Going transmetropolitan
From the dear old streets of kings cross
To the doors of the ica
Going transmetropolitan
Well drink the rats piss, kick the shite
And Im not going home tonight

From brixtons lovely boulevards
To hammersmiths sightly shores
Well scare the camden palace poofs
And worry all the whores
Theres leechers up in whitehall
And queers in the glc
And when weve done those bastards in
Well storm the bbc

Going transmetropolitan
From surrey docks to somers town
With a kmria
Going transmetropolitan
Well drink the rats piss, kick the shite
And Im not going home tonight

From a 5 pound bet in william hills
To a soho sex-shop dream
From a fried egg in valtaros
To a tottenham court road ice cream
Well spew and lurch, get nicked and fixed
On the way well kill and maim
When you havent got a penny, boys
Its all the bloody same

Going transmetropolitan
From pentonville road on a sunset eve
To the beauty thats mill lane
Going transmetropolitan
Well drink the rats piss, kick the shite
And Im not going home tonight

This town has done us dirty
This town has bled us dry
Weve been here for a long time
And well be here til we die
So well finish off the leavings
Of blood and glue and beer
And burn this bloody city down
In the summer of the year

Going transmetropolitan
From arlington house with a 2 bob bit
To the scottish shores today
Going transmetropolitan
Well drink the rats piss, kick the shite
And Im not going home tonight

I'm keeping voting for the current round open until Sunday, June 17, because there haven't been enough people voting and we have ties all over the place.

Sting - Fragile

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Contest 55: Voting!

New Mod!

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 18:23:23 GMT

This is your new temporary mod speaking. I'll be filling in for katekat1010 during her absence. I hope you all help me to keep this community running so that she doesn't have to worry about it drying up. :)

Since we only have a few entries, I'll extend the current Contest 55: Silly Looks. You now have until Sunday, June 10th to submit up to three icons.

PS: While I'm in charge, voting has to go through comments, as I don't have the option to post polls.

On Haitus...

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 05:32:09 GMT

Hey all,

Unfortunately no one was interested in modding our little icon community here. I really apologize to all of you, but as it stands right now I know that I'm not going to be able to continue with contests while I'm out of the country.

So, unless someone's willing to pop up right now and take everything on, beegee_icontest will be on haitus until August 2007.

This includes the current contest. I will save submissions and repost the contest again when I'm back in August.

Again, sorry about this to all of you - but I promise, beegee_icontest will be back!!

Looking for new moderator for beegee_icontest

Thu, 24 May 2007 16:50:32 GMT

scratchingpost1 and I are looking for a new moderator for beegee_icontest. Interested in Buffy/Giles icons? Have time once every two weeks to choose some pictures and post some voting?

It's a firmly established comm, so it really doesn't need all that much. You'd have to do the following:

- find pitctures of Buffy & Giles (screencap or other) for each Contest (we have a ton of resources, this is not difficult)
- upload the pics and post Contest details every two weeks (that's the supposed schedule)
- upload the submitted files for each contest and then post the voting
- announce winners and possibly make award banners (although I'd still be willing to help out with this if you wanted)
- once every couple of months or so, update the Shared Icon Page with submissions from the contest

If you're interested, please comment to this post or send an email and let us know? We'd like to find a new moderator before the first week in June.

Reptile Boy Quotes
[ from here ]
~ remember, you can even use a single word as your "quote" for an icon ~

GILES: Just because the paranormal is more normal and less... para of late is no excuse for tardiness or letting your guard down.

BUFFY: I haven't let my guard down.

GILES: Oh, really? You yawned your way through weapons training last week, you, you, you, you skipped hand-to-hand entirely... Are you gonna be prepared if a demon springs up behind you and does this? (tries something, fails) Yeah, well, I'm, I'm not a demon. Which is why you should let go now. (quietly) Thank you. When you live on top of a... a mystical convergence it's only a matter of time before a fresh hell breaks loose. Now is the time that you should train more strictly, you should hunt and patrol more keenly, you should hone your skills day and night.

BUFFY: And the little slice of life that still belongs to me from, I don't know, seven to seven-oh-five in the morning, can I do what I want then?

GILES: Buffy, you think I don't know what it's like to be sixteen?

BUFFY: No. I think you *don't* know what it's like to be sixteen. And a girl. And the Slayer.

GILES: Fair enough, no, no, I-I don't.

...

BUFFY: Digging on the undead doesn't exactly do wonders for your social life.

GILES: That's exactly where, where being... different, uh, comes in handy.

BUFFY: Right! Who needs a social life when you've got your very own Hellmouth?

GILES: Yes! Y-you, you, you have a duty, a-a-a purpose, y-y-you have a commitment in life. Now how many people your age can say that?

BUFFY: We talkin' foreign or domestic? How 'bout none?

GILES: Well, here's a hard fact of life: we all have to do things we don't like! And you have hand-to-hand this afternoon and patrol tonight. So I, I suggest you come straight here at the end of, of period six a-and you get your homework done. And don't dawdle with your friends. And, and don't think sitting there pouting is gonna get to me, because it won't. (Buffy pouts, he looks away) It's not getting to me.

...

BUFFY: I told one lie, I had one drink.

GILES: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

BUFFY: I'm sorry.

GILES: So am I. I... I drive you too hard because I-I know what you have to face. From now on no, no more pushing, no more prodding. Just, uh, an inordinate amount of nudging.
