Merry Christmas DTF
« on: December 24, 2023, 10:57:10 AM »
In the halls of dreams where notes entwine,
A forum thrives with music so divine.
To the Dream Theater faithful, this verse I send,
A Christmas ode to the forum, to DTF, our friend.

In threads of melodies, discussions rise,
With each lyric dissected, a fan's surprise.
Through time signatures complex, and riffs so grand,
DTF, a haven where fans understand.

On this Christmas morn, the forum gleams,
With festive avatars and yuletide dreams.
A symphony of voices, united and true,
Celebrating the season with the DTF crew.

In the Prog Wonderland, where minds align,
Echoes of debates and opinions entwine.
Guitar solos soar, like a sleigh in flight,
Guided by Petrucci's strings, pure and bright.

In the Winter Forum, snowflakes dance,
Threads adorned in tinsel, a festive trance.
Members from across the globe unite,
Sharing love for music, on this silent night.

To the moderators, tireless and keen,
Ensuring the forum stays serene.
To the members, old and new,
Merry Christmas, and here's to you!

In signatures and quotes, reflections unfold,
A community of passion, a tale to be told.
So, here's to DTF, with a festive cheer,
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year!

Lovely ode to Clarke.  Merry Christmas as the clock turns over midnight for each and every one

Merry XMas everyone.

Maybe not in backwards land where you celebrate Christmas in the summer, but cold causes solid objects to become more brittle.  As a chemist, I know this.

Merry X-Mas, X-Mas people!

I briefly had a brain fart and wondered if MP would relaunch his 6:00 on a Christmas morning thing here. Then I remembered that this is not his forum.  :lol

Which does beg a question, I guess. Is this place a thing now?

6:03 on a Christmas morning

So I’m having my first cup of coffee, decide to listen to ‘6:00’ on Spotify on my phone, and it was my suggested song to listen to :D

Of course, 'Thank God It's Christmas' and 'A Winter's Tale by Queen soon followed.

Oh, and quite the nice poem, Ministro :tup

...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

Dogs (and thus, I) slept in this morning, missing 6:00.  Oh well, it's 6:00 Central time, so I'll listen to it in honor of JJ.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good morning.

Gotta go get my coffee.

Merry Christmas everyone.  :-*

5:42 a.m. here so I didn't miss 6:00 for a change. Just having coffee while internet browsing. The new puppy is curled up at my feet. The kids will be coming by at about 10:00, so I have a few hours before I need to make the batter for Aebleskivers.

Mainly ale. Been on McEwan's Champion but also some prosecco and the add shot.
