'Out Of Gas'


Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.

After being out yesterday, and no Net for a while this morning --

The ultimate cover may be Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." He first recorded it in the early '60s (the "comma comma down dooby doo down down" version) -- and again in the mid-'70s as a torch song.

Big hit both times.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dude, I *just* got Hec's and Tina's 2 days ago!

And have you heard the torchy Spider-Man theme yet? Because every time I hear her purr "He's so hot/ he's so fine / how I wish /he were mine" I think of you.

Up with the sun

Big hit both times.

My parents sang that to me when I was a baby, because I seemed to like it and it's easy to sing.

Neil Sedaka lyrics; Guaranteed to Calm a Colicky Infant!

Mmmm, soporific.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Yeah, but if you get up at karaoke to sing "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" and you're expecting the original version, it's quite a shock and disappointment to get the remake.

I'm just sayin'.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

First song I listened to, baby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hec has an assbutt!

What's 'christwads'? Is it similar to 'fuckwads'? Like very annoying idjit jesus-freaks?

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I love that list with a love that is all-encompassing.

And ginormous!

You should come up with an ironic title for that list and submit it to an academic poetry journal as "found poetry" along the lines of the "found art" that people assemble from interesting objects that they find lying around. You could be the initiator of a whole new genre of poetry.
