Hello All -- Following up on my post about the email I received from Antarctica, I wanted to send the alternate Flask lyrics that I just received. These are the lyrics that a team of researchers added to "Flask, Alas" when they found themselves stranded butterless on Flask Glacier on the East side of the Antarctic Peninsula:
New verse:
Over a hundred years later in seeking science fame
we camped on that glacier that bears Flask's name
An ironic twist of fate and much to our chagrin
we discovered we had no butter in our bins!
New Chorus:
On Flask, alas, we were a butterless crew
We were stuck out on the ice and we didn't know what to do
After six days in a storm, we were just trying to keep warm
That otter*, it supplied our butter too.
Modified Bridge:
So raise your cups to Flask!
And put some extra butter on your bread!
'Cause you may one day find you're crazy on a melting icy pool
Chasin' glaciers without no butter for your roll
* Otter was their supply plane
How cool!
best,
Nat |
