That's one of my favourite lyrics of all time. It's so cold and casually self-damning. There aren't many lyrics that come straight to mind even before the tune. Well, lyrics not written by Prince.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Huh. I had no idea that I knew that much rap. Maybe I'm not as whitebread as i thought?

Nope, still doughy.

hee. I still have such fond memories of seeing some friends do "Poison" in drag, and two of them were big muscley types, my little teeny femmey friend was all thugged out in a hat next to them, and suddenly she popped up with the "used to do her" line. Hee. The image still cracks me up.
Definitely some of Kanye's stuff could be good...though not old school at all, obviously

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Surely Mac won't know what O.P.P. stands for, right?
I'm psyched that Pushing Daisies popped up on my Tivo listings for this week.
Also: JZ and Matilda are home!
Portland was fun but home is better.

I saw that! That's the only drag king act I remember seeing with you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am loving the rap discussion, although I too find I don't know about half the songs mentioned. oh well. My bro made me a bunch of great CDs, but every so often one of the songs is WAY inappropriate for the kids. oops.
I just recolored my hair. I'm back to brown, but still short. But it turns out red hair is a younger woman's game. My skin no longer favors it.
Also? I LOVE those bento boxes. Now I want someone to pack me a nice lunch tomorrow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I know very little rap (most of which I think I know is actually disco/dance music) but honestly, I think my life is complete anyway.
(Although, it strikes me that DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince had a few hits that would qualify for msbelle's needs.)
