GR The Other Side

[Madeleine Maudlin]

Oh I'm just envious, don't mind me.  I can't drink until October.  Madness!

I'm not one to poke around YouTube all day clicking shit, but what did I
do, how did I come on this again? for some reason, okay, I opened today's
Times, and the ladies were on the front so I was curious that they seem to
be playing already, so I went to Times online, no news, so I said eff it,
i'll do something else I neever do, go to something like London2012's
actual website, and then for the hell of it clicked on sports, and there's
only like 25 sports! I would have guessed 85, anyway one of them is
trampoline, and maybe because I had Morrison on my head at the moment I
thought of an old song called trampoline by Julian somebody, 80s thing, the
metaphor potential is high with a trampoline obviously, and actually I'd
gone and listened to Break On Through for the hell of it so I went and
looked for Trampoline to hear again too but naturally it's all tramp
videos, one of which was only 1:16 long--and for a world record--so why
not?  Anyway it's pretty amusing, I think.  The actual jump is not at all
what I was expecting, which was a far out dreamy rainbow:
