All the pizza hot and cold,
All cats whenever bred,
All composers short and tall,
They're all within the Shed.


That's actually a wonderful rewrite of the hymn. I 'sung' it in my head.

Have some pizza!

Thank you, sir!

If I hadn't already been a fully converted Sheddite, your hymn would have inspired me to become one.

The Shed almost doesn't feel like The Shed without Heavy Metal Dave.

I thought:

Straw -- hut
Wood -- shed
Ice -- Igloo

Was I wrong or are some sheds (or, maybe I should say THE Shed) made of metal?
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

But are not he and the Shed, One?

The Shed is vast with even more than just the pounds which Dave has shed.

Some sheds and even some huts (Quonset huts, e.g.) are indeed made of metal.

Come to think of it: why isn't the Quonset hut a shed?  Maybe it's funny Rhode Island usage . . . .

I wish my dog didn't shed.

What a surprising series of posts. In fact I'm astoni-Shed.

I lived 12 months of my life in a Quonset hut. If it had been a shed, I'd probably still be there  8)

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

btw, this is what the inside of the Shed looks like.

(I like to have conversations with the mask faces at 2:08. They're my friends. Sometimes we trade basketball cards).

This is the entire text from the book of the New Orthodox sect of the Shed religion:

I float through physical thoughts. I stare down the abyss of organic dreams
All bets off, I plunge - Only to find that self is shed


I would like to believe that all sects can at least agree that the Shed contains all that is known and not known and all contradictions which are possible, impossible, discovered, undiscovered, or whatever possible description of contradictions or non-contradictions (or variations of contradictions that may not be either) that may or may not exist.

Heard on NPR this morning: "...looks like an ordinary shed..."
