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!

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

It helps to hear the songs in context, I think. The point of "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" is that these characters are actually pretty terrible people, not that the show is endorsing their POV.

(Ok, I may not have thought that when I first saw the show in 2001, but now that I'm no longer the same age as the main character, seeing the show again made me realize what a complete douchenozzle he is. Kate Monster too!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fuck you, lady! That's what stairs are for!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, sure.

My secret weapon against ita is hugging.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dude, YES. "Schadenfreude" is made of pure awesome.

And, honestly, I love "For Now," simply for the part where they yell "George Bush!"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

And, of course "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"! Because I live in Rochester, and I knew plenty of boys with "girlfriends" who lived in "canada"

"My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"!

Holy shit, yes!

And I often include "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today" on playlists and mix CDs. Because it just makes me laugh.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And are in a dead in job.

Or have a penchant for ill-fated crushes. ::ahem::

I totally understand why "Everyone's a little bit racist" is infuriating - i want to argue with it, too. It still amuses me, but I will sure never sing it to ita. I hate the whole Lucy the Slut subplot, unsurprisingly.

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

Except I like hugs, can strike from hugs, and know defenses against hugs. It's not surefire.

Msbelle, there has to be a way to make this not involve more than one call. That's normal, right?

So far all the Avenue Q songs that have come up on my ipod have been the unpleasant people. No likey.
