![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) The great clarinetist died at age 85. He wrote the tune, "Stranger on the Shore" for his daughter, Jenny. But, this cat could rock too: [^].
Stranger On the Shore [^]
"Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship
As it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the Shore?
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the shore?" Words by Robert Mellin

I wouldn't exactly call that rock, but definitely up tempo. Wonderful stuff.

A young Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently.
Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said "A penny for your thoughts, Angus?"
"Well, uh, I was thinkin'... perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss?"
The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.
Minutes passed and the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus?"
"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's noo time aboot time for a wee cuddle?"
The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds. Then he blushed. And the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.
After a while, she again said "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus?"
"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time you let me put my hand on your leg".
The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch before the girl spoke again.
"Another penny for your thoughts, Angus?"
The young man glanced down with a furrowed brow. "Well, noo" he said "my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time".
"Really?" said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation.
"Aye" said the lad, nodding.
The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.
Then he said "Dae ye nae think it's aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?"

That was stupid from the lass, it is after all a penny for his THOUGHTS.
I'd reckon she oversold the worth of the thoughts ey

Why is it that so many IT websites want to know for what company you work?
I decided to take a look at NoSQL and found a whitepaper I can download, but first they need to know my company.
Except I'm not downloading this for my company, but for myself. My company really has no interest in any NoSQL database.
This isn't the first IT website where I had to specify my company. In a required field.
Stop asking me where I work. I am signing on to your service and my company has nothing (and wants nothing) to do with it...

Sure, but why don't they just make it an optional field?

Because it's easier to make everything required?

Because not checking for nulls can cause a crash, remembering to check everywhere is prone to oversite errors, so it's much safer just to make the field mandatory.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

I put Student.
It also hopefully stops them thinking about me as a potential sales lead, so they don't waste their time, and more importantly, they don't waste my time.

Well know there is some fun to be had.
Try these next time:
(some obscure name to make them realize you are: ) Pimp, Drug Dealer, Assassin, Drug Addict
Queen, Mayor, President, Secret Agent, Escort, Stripper, Hooker or even a Porn Star
Might even put straight their company name

I have downloaded various tools/articles from sites such as this and in many cases I have had salesmen phoning up within the hour trying to sell me stuff. I now pick a company name out of the air - or something I've seen in the paper.

I once had to download some software to try, and the form required company name and phone number. As I didn't know our phone number (I've never phoned it) I scrolled through a few emails until I found an internal once with a phone number at the bottom and used that.
What I hadn't understood was that the email I used was from one of the managers who had her own direct number, I was expecting the switchboard to field any calls that came in.
For the rest of the week she effectively became my secretary until I was able to persuade them to leave us alone.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Just put your own name in the Company field then. Or something crap. Granted, it is stupid requirement, but it's similar to nearly every personal details form I see asking for bloody "Title". "Duke of Geekdom", "Barron of BDD", etc. are some I might enter if I wasn't limited to Mr. Mrs. etc. What use is that to anyone except, say, a doctor, and even then only in work and academia?
