Ax Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 Om, can you write me one for the Eagles so I can show it off to all my Eagles buddies. Well, I'm obviously no Om, but let's give it a shot. "Well here we go folks. It's 4th down and goal." "Time for just one more play." McNabb calls for a huddle. His teammates look to their leader for inspiration. Donovan opens his mouth and....:puke: Same old Eagles. No hope. How's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartskins Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Om, this piece reminds me of a classic thread written by Red Sox fans called "Win It For." As for my own hopes, I just hope we can pull out a winning season and beat Dallas just once this season. Just once! Well done, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimreaper36 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 "A place to stay Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the children anymore. " "Pink Floyd, The Gunners Dream" I thought this fit in with your references to mankind and Pink Floyd. Great job.

Om Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 I’ve had two requests for a hint as to the genesis of the title. Fair enough. Figure that’s good enough an excuse for a bump. * From the mouth of the father, logically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne The Fan Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 As always, a beautifully crafted and thoughtful piece. My spirits were in need of a lift today, and this helped. Thanks. ** As to the origin of the title, here’s my guess: “Hope is a waking dream.” Aristotle, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers.
