On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

The status is NOT quo.

It would be cool if there were a pre-minstrel syndrome (not the ucky blackface kind, the lyric poet/traveling musician kind), you know?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Joe Boucher, with the best excuse for losing a CD ever, in the music thread:

I think I'm the CD swap bottleneck. I received a package from erinaceous and was in the process of making a copy for msbelle when the door burst open and two jackbooted thugs--one male, one female--knocked me over and ripped the CD out of my computer. She tasered me while he graffitied my walls: "Dean Olsher sucks" and "The Next Big Thing is for subliterate morons" and "John Wayne's a fag" (the last eliciting a nasal "He is not!" from her, to which he responded, also nasally, "He is too, you boys! I went to Brentwood to install two-way mirrors and he came to the door in a dress." She roared with laughter, tasered me again and they did various scenes from Repo Man for the next fifteen minutes. They especially enjoyed the "What about our relationship?" scene, tasering me whether or not I gave the proper response, namely "Fuck that!"). They were disguised, but there was no mistaking the voices: I had just had my ass kicked by Ira Glass and Sarah Vowell. Who would want to admit to that? And I would have kept it quiet, but since I lost the CD along with my dignity and thereby screwed up the sacred Buffistamix flow I have decided to own up to my shame. Why should I be ashamed of getting caught in the crossfire of internecine PRI squabbling? I shouldn't... but getting one's assed kicked by Sarah Vowell is one thing, getting it kicked by Ira Glass is a whole 'nother level of embarassment.

HA! That is the funniest thing I've read, maybe ever.

Sure. You could give Connie your votes, but I think if you look at her record, you'll see that she's weak on Cordy's tactless quotes, and doesn't have a feel for the nuance of Wesley quotes. I think we need a good Best Angel Quote, a strong Best Angel Quote. And I think, that if you give me your votes, together, we can do that.

  • My new version of a to do list--it's all the things that broadly need to get done, but I don't get to beat myself up if Annabel keeps me from getting to them all
