Our wings are not tired

Okay, from Betsy's link in Press.

Tales of the Gold Monkey! I was just talking about that show a week ago. The facade for the hotel is still on Universal's back lot. I rode the tour last week and saw it and was thinking about the show.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And then segue into Moxy Fruvous's "Drinking Song"?

That one's not quite as funny as the others...

[eta: Better make it "Jockey Full of Bourbon" instead.]

[eta again: Which, fine, is a cover, but is also catchy and about alcohol.]

[Speaking of which, "Alcohol" by BNL should be on that list somewhere.]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know the fishy song (with nonsense syllables - boop boop dittum dattum wadda BOOM before each verse), but I don't know who taught it to me.

I like the killing-you-girlfriend song "Delia's Gone" - "The first time I shot Delia, I shot her in the side. Hate to see her suffer so, so with the second shot she died"

Art Crawl!!!

Tony Blair thinks that ASH should play him. . .

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Who thinks that ASH should replace him?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Tequila Twins gave it to him. They should upload things like "Thong Song" and "Milkshake".

I think they should have uploaded 250 copies of "It's a Small World" and given each one a different title. Then waited to see how long it would take him to figure it out.

Always Anti-fascist!

That was for real? I thought some Onion-type made that up.Esp. with Cocaine on it. Dude. My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me my dad used to play that Loggins/Messina with "I'm so in love with you, honey/ even though we ain't got money/" blah blah. for "us" Which made me cry to think about because we're not speaking. Growing up there was plainly Mom Music and Dad Music Mom: Big "Soul Train" fan...Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Blue Notes,TempsNTops "Hair" Dad: James Taylor, Tom Waits, folkies galore, Simon &Garfunkel I think the Beatles were the only band to bridge the gap.

I think my mother knew that if she woke me up by singing, I would have got emancipated and moved to Timbuktu. No, my mother banged pots in the kitchen instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, my mother banged pots in the kitchen instead.

I have had to specifically ask my parents to grind the coffee ahead of time when I'm there visiting. Being woken up at 6 am by the coffee grinder? Even the prospect of fresh coffee doesn't help.
