Um... I'm not sure this counts as a tribute to Kara or just something really weird. But I like her hair, and when it's longer it should be in a ponytail; I was so excited when there was a brief glimpse of ponytail this past week. And then I had this weird idea and wrote most of the new lyrics during a weekend car trip.
You know
Home on the Range, right? State song of Kansas. Buffalo roam, etc. I wrote two new verses.
One last bit...
1. When I say sicko freak I mean it with kindness.
2. I'm following Tom Lehrer's rules for writing
folk songs... namely that: "It don't matter if you put a couple extra syllables into a line."
3. We all remember that Galactica is called the Bucket, right?
4. At least I can't link this one to
awfulbgfic (unlike the Kara/Leoben WNTW crossover)
Verse One:
Oh, those pilots in the fleet
got standards to meet
Don't hit Tigh, or you go to jail
wash up good, shine your shoes;
clean up those dress blues;
Long-haired gals, keep a sleek ponytail
Chorus:
Oh, Kara's ponytail!
Before you the nuggets all quail!
whether messy or neat
long or cutely petite
you're my favorite accessory on the Pail.
Verse Two:
Some folk cavil and quip
over each Kara 'ship
As for moi, mum shall I be
yeah, right
No, I'll ne'er say a word...
...but I'll flip you the bird,
if you're one of those sicko freaks who likes Kara's hair free
even Cally and Galen disapprove
New chorus!
Oh, Kara's ponytail!
At a glimpse we fangeeks all flail
blonde tresses entwine
in a splendid design
You're our favorite accessory on the Pail!
Okay. Sorry about that. But not sorry enough to stop posting more pictures.
It's the ponytail premiere! Our first glimpse of it!
ponytail doubts Sharon's commitment to sparkle motion is unimpressed at being able to 'choose' a special cylon boyfriend.
*laughs*
This face cracks me up. That's the only reason I'm putting in this shot.
Oooh, the ponytail impresses the pretty cylon boyfriend she chose!
Hah, that's at least one retcon that's more fun in retrospect
all hail the ponytail!
Ponytail likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain
Pensive ponytail
Frisky, forward ponytail
ponytail is confused at this rare denial!
ponytail brings out envy
Ponytail gets to have big guns
and enjoy the lovely lighting of Caprica's post-nuclear holocaust skies
Awww! Ponytail gets a hug from pseudo-daddy!
Ponytail has permission to keep cute puppy boyfriend
Ponytail inspires admiration in fangirls everywhere!
Ponytail in its natural element: a viper
A rarely-seen season three ponytail!
The even more rarely-seen season four ponytail!
sadly, season four ponytail isn’t getting any action, but instead has to watch old people make out
The end.
Ugh, I am so tired of cropping and uploading and cutting and pasting.

Galacticabbs.
