Loong road comes to end

28 Jan, 2012 04:00 AM

IT will be a special occasion for Russell Jack and his old mate
as they go for their final walk together tonight.

Mr Jack and 120-year-old Imperial dragon Loong have been lifelong mates,
walking the streets of Bendigo entertaining the masses.

Tonight’s Chinese New Year celebrations will be Loong’s last public parade.

“He has brought a lot of people together,” Mr Jack said.
“He has been great for this town.”

Mr Jack walked alongside Loong in Easter parades year after year
until the dragon’s retirement in 1970.

He helped wake Loong from his slumber
earlier this week.

Mr Jack said Loong’s contribution to the community stretched beyond Bendigo.

“This dragon is not only an icon to Bendigo but to Australia,
having marked federation in Melbourne in 1901,” he said.

“He has travelled across Australia raising money for charity.

“It was a great way to help assimilation of Europeans and Chinese
because this dragon, he had all nationalities under it.

“He brought us together as a nation.”

Mr Jack laughs when he looks at photo taken of him in the 1950s.

The picture, believed to have been taken in 1955, is of a 20-year-old Mr
Jack walking alongside Loong in an Easter parade. The photograph was
donated to the Golden Dragon Museum and sits among its photographic
collection.

“I just wish I was that young again,” Mr Jack said.

“My father instilled these thoughts into our minds at a young age
that you have to raise money for charity.

“My dad, he worked and would never take a pension.

“I still believe everyone at some point in your life,
you have got to give back to the town.”

Loong performed at every Easter parade between 1892 and 1970,
raising money for the then Bendigo Base Hospital.

Mr Jack said he had plans to ensure the Golden Dragon Museum,
which Loong sits in, would continue to raise money for the Bendigo Health Foundation.

“When we do the next stage of the museum, I want a percentage
of what comes through the doors go to Bendigo Health,” he said.

But yet, there is no 'more', to go to,
like the fact:
Loong is THE OLDEST IMPERIAL DRAGON,
and made his Home In Australia,
when Australia was 'born', 111 years ago.

And here we are,
in The Year of The Dragon...again.

The Year of The Dragon, 1988,
was also Australia's Bicentenary...

Funny that Sod...just talking about that 'big picture' recently....
how I confuse folk, being one who most NON Judeo-Christians 'label' as 'Christian',
yet who lists shows like, "DEADWOOD" and "BREAKING BAD"
at the top of her, all time, best ever series, list...as blessed as The Carpenters were,
they weren't Solomon, the wisest and greatest of Kings, who yet, was felled, by
pandering to his lust for women who were enemies of The God Who Blessed him.

See, it comes to, having the blessing of, the freedom of,
the 'distilling' ability of The Holy Spirit.
How, in this age of good being 'bad', and bad being 'good',
the faithful do still have their spirit fed.

Or, to put it more crudely;
not throwing the baby out with the bath water,
and, burying your shit, outside your camp.

"Anus Of Uranus", by Klaatu. This is from Klaatu's first album,
"3:47 EST" (known simply as "Klaatu" in the United States),
and was written by Dee Long.

Late last night while wishing on a star
Down from the sky came a man in a car
He said "Get in, Jackson
Come on let's go for a ride"
Outta sight

Sitting in the cockpit strapped down in a chair
I said, "Hey, tell me
What's that over there?"
He said, "Meet my computer."
He's a friendly son of a gun and we're having fun

Playing cards on Venus in a cloudy room
Pass a glass of ammonia, I got to get off soon
Sunbathin' on Mercury or jammin' on Jupiter
Which do you prefer?

It's getting pretty late, I got to go home
Nice to have met you, what's your telephone?
Maybe soon I'll call you
If I can afford the fare
It's long distance out there

Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine
He's a first-rate party and a real fine time
Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine
He's a first-rate party and a real fine time

Oh
My love and I were thinking
How low our boat was sinking
From fishing for the blues
Every lure we tried
Jonesey turned the tide
We lost our cool
Caught in whirlpools

Oh
So bland was our condition
We summoned black magicians
To wave a wand or two
Talismanic spells
Tannis root and well
To tell the tale
Their magic failed

If that is all you want
(Doctor Marvello)
Then I may be of service
If all you want is love
(Doctor Marvello)
Well I may know a special man
Whose love machine turns can't to can
With your mind in mind
With your mind in mind

(A passage of time)

Oh
The trance wore off by morning
A sentimental journey was hazily recalled
Though it sounds absurd
We're completely cured
And now we're fine
And now we're fine
And now we're fine
And now we're fine
And now we're fine
And now we're fine
So fine

My love and I

Back in 1870
Just beneath the Great White Way
Alfred Beach worked secretly
Risking all to ride a dream
His wind machine
His wind machine

New York City and the morning sun
Were awoken by the strangest sound
Reportedly as far as Washington
The tremors shook the earth
As Alfie blew underground
Blew underground, he blew underground

Ah, all aboard Sub Rosa Subway
Had you wondered
Who's been digging under Broadway
It's Alfred
Poor Al, oh no, Al

As for America's first subway
The public scoffed
"It's far too crude"
One station filled with Victoria's Age
From frescoed walls
And goldfish fountains
To Brahmsian tunes

Sadly, there are times I'm glad,
that the certain people are more ignorant, than as bloody stupid, as they act.

Psalms 72:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Psa&c=72&v=1&t=KJV#1
Regarding Solomon.
[[A Psalm] for Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰.]]
1
O God, give your own judicial decisions to the king,
And your righteousness to the son of the king.
Give ⁵⁴¹⁴ the king ⁴⁴²⁸ thy judgments ⁴⁹⁴¹, O God ⁴³⁰,
and thy righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶ unto the king's ⁴⁴²⁸ son ¹¹²¹.

2
May he plead the cause of your people with righteousness
And of your afflicted ones with judicial decision.
He shall judge ¹⁷⁷⁷ thy people ⁵⁹⁷¹ with righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁴,
and thy poor ⁶⁰⁴¹ with judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹.

3
Let the mountains carry peace to the people,
Also the hills, through righteousness.
The mountains ²⁰²² shall bring ⁵³⁷⁵ peace ⁷⁹⁶⁵ to the people ⁵⁹⁷¹,
and the little hills ¹³⁸⁹, by righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶.

4
Let him judge the afflicted ones of the people,
Let him save the sons of the poor one,
And let him crush the defrauder.
He shall judge ⁸¹⁹⁹ the poor ⁶⁰⁴¹ of the people ⁵⁹⁷¹,
he shall save ³⁴⁶⁷ the children ¹¹²¹ of the needy ³⁴,
and shall break in pieces ¹⁷⁹² the oppressor ⁶²³¹ .

5
They will fear you as long as there is a sun,
And before the moon for generation after generation.
They shall fear ³³⁷² thee as long as ⁵⁹⁷³ the sun ⁸¹²¹
and moon ³³⁹⁴ endure ⁶⁴⁴⁰, throughout all ¹⁷⁵⁵ generations ¹⁷⁵⁵.

6
He will descend like the rain upon the mown grass,
Like copious showers that wet the earth.
He shall come down ³³⁸¹ like rain ⁴³⁰⁶ upon the mown ¹⁴⁸⁸ grass:
as showers ⁷²⁴¹ [that] water ²²²² the earth ⁷⁷⁶.

7
In his days the righteous one will sprout,
And the abundance of peace until the moon is no more.
In his days ³¹¹⁷ shall the righteous ⁶⁶⁶² flourish ⁶⁵²⁴ ;
and abundance ⁷²³⁰ of peace ⁷⁹⁶⁵ so long as the moon ³³⁹⁴ endureth.

8
And he will have subjects from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
He shall have dominion ⁷²⁸⁷ also from sea ³²²⁰ to sea ³²²⁰,
and from the river ⁵¹⁰⁴ unto the ends ⁶⁵⁷ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶.

9
Before him the inhabitants of waterless regions will bow down,
And his very enemies will lick the dust itself.
They that dwell in the wilderness ⁶⁷²⁸ shall bow ³⁷⁶⁶ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ him;
and his enemies ³⁴¹ shall lick ³⁸⁹⁷ the dust ⁶⁰⁸³.

10
The kings of Tar´shish and of the islands—
Tribute they will pay.
The kings of She´ba and of Se´ba—
A gift they will present.
The kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of Tarshish ⁸⁶⁵⁹ and of the isles ³³⁹
shall bring ⁷⁷²⁵ presents ⁴⁵⁰³:
the kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of Sheba ⁷⁶¹⁴ and Seba ⁵⁴³⁴
shall offer ⁷¹²⁶ gifts ⁸¹⁴.

11
And to him all the kings will prostrate themselves;
All the nations, for their part, will serve him.
Yea, all kings ⁴⁴²⁸ shall fall down ⁷⁸¹² before him:
all nations ¹⁴⁷¹ shall serve ⁵⁶⁴⁷ him.

12
For he will deliver the poor one crying for help,
Also the afflicted one and whoever has no helper.
For he shall deliver ⁵³³⁷ the needy ³⁴ when he crieth ⁷⁷⁶⁸ ;
the poor ⁶⁰⁴¹ also, and [him] that hath no helper ⁵⁸²⁶ .

13
He will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one,
And the souls of the poor ones he will save.
He shall spare ²³⁴⁷ the poor ¹⁸⁰⁰ and needy ³⁴,
and shall save ³⁴⁶⁷ the souls ⁵³¹⁵ of the needy ³⁴.

14
From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul,
And their blood will be precious in his eyes.
He shall redeem ¹³⁵⁰ their soul ⁵³¹⁵ from deceit ⁸⁴⁹⁶ and violence ²⁵⁵⁵:
and precious ³³⁶⁵ shall their blood ¹⁸¹⁸ be in his sight ⁵⁸⁶⁹.

15
And let him live, and to him let some of the gold of She´ba be given.
And in his behalf let prayer be made constantly;
All day long let him be blessed.
And he shall live ²⁴²¹ , and to him shall be given ⁵⁴¹⁴ of the gold ²⁰⁹¹ of Sheba ⁷⁶¹⁴:
prayer also shall be made ⁶⁴¹⁹ for him continually ⁸⁵⁴⁸;
[and] daily ³¹¹⁷ shall he be praised ¹²⁸⁸ .

16
There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth;
On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.
His fruit will be as in Leb´a·non,
And those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth.
There shall be an handful ⁶⁴⁵¹ of corn ¹²⁵⁰ in the earth ⁷⁷⁶
upon the top ⁷²¹⁸ of the mountains ²⁰²²;
the fruit ⁶⁵²⁹ thereof shall shake ⁷⁴⁹³ like Lebanon ³⁸⁴⁴:
and [they] of the city ⁵⁸⁹² shall flourish ⁶⁶⁹² like grass ⁶²¹² of the earth ⁷⁷⁶.

17
Let his name prove to be to time indefinite;
Before the sun let his name have increase,
And by means of him let them bless themselves;
Let all nations pronounce him happy.
His name ⁸⁰³⁴ shall endure for ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹:
his name ⁸⁰³⁴ shall be continued ^{5125 5125} as long as ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the sun ⁸¹²¹:
and [men] shall be blessed ¹²⁸⁸ in him:
all nations ¹⁴⁷¹ shall call him blessed ⁸³³ .

18
Blessed be Jehovah God, Israel’s God,
Who alone is doing wonderful works.
Blessed ¹²⁸⁸ [be] the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰, the God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸,
who only doeth ⁶²¹³ wondrous things ⁶³⁸¹ .

19
And blessed be his glorious name to time indefinite,
And let his glory fill the whole earth.
Amen and Amen.
And blessed ¹²⁸⁸ [be] his glorious ³⁵¹⁹ name ⁸⁰³⁴ for ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹:
and let the whole earth ⁷⁷⁶ be filled ⁴³⁹⁰ [with] his glory ³⁵¹⁹;
Amen ⁵⁴³, and Amen ⁵⁴³.

20
The prayers of David, the son of Jes´se, have come to their end.
The prayers ⁸⁶⁰⁵ of David ¹⁷³² the son ¹¹²¹ of Jesse ³⁴⁴⁸ are ended ³⁶¹⁵ .
