I am not closer to the earth! I am staying as far away from the earth as possible!

Signed, seriously hoping that a couple of half-assed coffee shop Marxists are the worse I ever have to face ever again.

And on that note, the cranky, teething baby has awakened. Time for a change and a cuddle.

Your answer is awesome, but the phrase "more deadlier" is of such terrible grammar that you are immediately disqualified. Sorry.

Gris, if those are lyrics before your time, I feel more oldlier than I am.

They are. At least, I've never heard them, but honestly? I was musically inept until about 5-8 years back, so much of the music "of my time" I still don't know. (See: Boyz II Men)

Space did a cover for Austin Powers, but I've never heard the original. Actually, I haven't even heard the original cover. What I have is supposedly a remix.

The fact that the weekend is almost over is deeply sad making.

billytea: Your answer is too realistic, sensible, and practical. Unacceptable in this case.

Well, darn. There is an outside chance that my girlfriend (whee! This is not a drill!) is also too realistic, sensible and practical, being as she is of the actuarial persuasion. But she seems acceptable so far. And better than the shiniest nickel in Nickelburg.

Aah. "Female Of The Species" by Space, released in 1997.

And now, I feel old, too. Just 17 days from 33.

Also, the Kipling poem: [link]

Steph: Your answer is good. I grant you the nickel. You can either email me your addy, or consider it an I.O.U.

I'll take the IOU. That way, interest can compound, and when I finally collect, it might be worth a whole 7 cents!

Bed now. Night, Bitches!

I'm 31 and I didn't know the song. But I think I'm just lame. There's lots of this stuff I don't know.
