Ok, before I get started with anything (in)significant, I'd like to clarify some things about the title of this page. Contrary to that suggested by a certain person (i won't mention names as it is revealing of said person's general thought processes), the word bum in the title does not recall the definition of it as used commonly in British vernacular...it refers to a person who sits on their bum, i.e. a Bum. Sorry to disappoint but no, this is not a porn site.
Furthermore, approximately none of you will understand the reference, so I'll explain that as well. My grandpa used to sing us this song called We Are Three Bums. It goes like this:
We are three bums
Three jolly good bums
We live like royal Turks
We rush the muck like any old duck [i'm pretty sure this is the wrong lyric, just what i remember singing as a kid]
And to hell with the guy that works
We met a man the other night we never met before
He asked us if we wanted a job
Shoveling iron ore...
Ok, the song goes on and on (and on and on and on), but in these two verses i'd like you to note the references to both Turkey (Turk) and Geology (iron ore). How perfect. As an additional point, I oftentimes seem like three people, feel jolly, and act like a good bum. Overall, I really think that the title sums me up quite well (ha). And, hey, who doesn't like to give their grandpa a shout out on occasion?
