the wompus Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Searching for a fun way to declare war on GDA has been a challenge. A precursory search of GDA uncovered some interesting images: [IMG]http://www.aquariumslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gda.jpg[/IMG] Yes, that is Green Dust Algae (GDA)- interesting to some I suppose but not that helpful. Then I came across this: [IMG]http://img.medscape.com/pi/emed/ckb/radiology/336139-419614-4226.jpg[/IMG] Hmmm....a gastroduodenal artery (GDA). Actually kindof disturbing and not that helpful of an image in a War declaration setting. Then I really got to thinking. We here at OP love campfires (particularly when started with a nuke). Also, over the years, some interesting DoW's have utilized song lyrics. So...... This took me back to one of our International OP Training Conferences when we had an impromptu 'open stage night' around a campfire after a few too many cocktails. Our impaired state pretty much limited the depth of the performance that night, however many 3 chord gems were played into the wee hours. Folks that play guitar can usually pull out some interesting tunes using only the chords G D and A, as illustrated here. [IMG]http://musicmatez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gda-chords-copy1.jpg[/IMG] A quick internet search turned this up: 3 Chord Songs - G D A A good collection of songs to get everyone singing at Campfires and Kitchen parties [color=blue]1.Rock around the clock ( Bill Haley) 2.A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan) 3.AUTHORITY SONG (John C.

[i]As a side note, where else have you ever seen 'My ding-a-ling', 'Tutti Fruiti' and 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' all tied together in the same DoW?[/i] Now that everyone is singing one of the above songs in their head, back to business. [SIZE=7]OP hereby Declares War on GDA[/SIZE] for earworming us. Most other alliances have been mixing it up lately and now it's our turn! We're looking forward to some good old fashioned 1 on 1 fun. Let's all enjoy ourselves and blow some stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
