More Pet Peeve threads.

I wrote a paper on this. Scored me an A too. It's rough, though, as I wrote in in a short time period, meaning like an hour. Some of it refers to inside jokes within the class, so don't bother with it.

Here it is:

If I told you I wanted to be a ghost, it would make sense to you, because you would know what I’d want to become. Though the reason why I would do such a thing would be entirely perturbing, at least it would make sense to you. But what of a cherry ghost? Is it a ghost with a flavor of cherry? Or is it something more? This befuddling phrase came from a lyrical and musical masterpiece, Wilco’s “Theologians.” Jeff Tweedy, in an appearance on the Bob Edwards Show, enlightened the audience with the secret to this mysterious cherry ghost. Tweedy noted that the cherry ghost was represented in a non-clich

That sounds like me on a good day.

Because the Black Panthers must be stopped.

Putting Being There on two discs was purely for aesthetic value. It's really on e disc. So there's no comparison to be made.

Oops! I Did It Again

Wow, that is some really, really terrifying shit. What times we live in!

 

poortranslator, you made me crack up, even in these scary shit times. I thank you.

I try.

This list of accomplishments represent real steps in the wrong direction ... but, make no mistake, we have lots of destroying left to do. We must confirm John Bolton as our Ambassador to the United Nations (thus tearing the UN apart through useless bickering) ... we must end the unfair death tax (to plunge us farther into our deficits and debt)... we must pass the line item veto so we can curb our habit of irresponsible spending (because that's how idiots manage the budget).

Fixed it for Bill Frist.

It's real brain surgery. Basically,

 

Jeff: "How Can I?"

 

crowd: screams

Well, it's more like:

Jeff: "Let's have an educated debate on the Hezbollah and Iran."

Crowd: screams and runs away.

Do they existeth?

Did you expect more intelligence from a Republican?

for reasons abundantly clear, I did not vote for On & On & On & On

For reasons abundantly clear, On & On & On didn't even make the poll.

The only I'm noting is the fact that Bush has finally lost his (veto) virginity.

Impossible Germany.

edit: you forgot On & On & On, Walken. they're legally new songs. though On & On & On has been played like twice and Walken is played every night.

It could be a really fast 4/4. That doesn't make much of a difference.

The strings in the intro creep me out.

Yeah, I saw that one, but SNL has lost a lot of its luster from yesteryear.

Mad TV is still worse though.

Who uses all 26 letters, anyway?

idk mn, it rly shdnt mtr.

ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHH. Very angry, no?

Summer reading also pisses me off. A WHOLE LOT.

You sure they're not honking for you to get the hell out of the street?

 

Usually, the obnoxious drive-by honk is related to the person in the car thinking "Hey! Check out that sexy thing out jogging! If I beep the horn, he/she'll know that on my brief drive by him/her I thought they were hot looking."

We were exercising proper running technique, meaning we run on the left side of the street, so we (in the words of our cross country coach), at least get to see the license plate of those about to hit us. The people today came from behind and honked monstrously loud. I knew who they were, but I think they were honking at someone else in our group. Or just at the general hotness of our group.

oh. haha. didn't read right. i should have read more carefully.

Joyous Rage With Tons of Twang (and Heavy Distortion, too!)

this morning, i was going down the escalator at the station and these crusty old hags in front of me were blocking the way.... stand on left, walk on right is the rule. then, in macedonian one said to the other "isnt it funny when you stand like this and the people behind cant get through, ha ha?"

 

SO, understanding the language, i replied in macedonian "no it not - get a move on"

 

that shut them up and turned their faces red

that is great.

another: people who honk really loud at you when you're running. they think it's encouragement, but seriously, you just scare the shit outta us.

Eh, like I said, it was a '66 model, therefore, not pre-CBS. And I don't know where you are shopping for guitars, but a 1966 Jazzmaster with block inlays and the bound neck in near mint condition would be hard to get for less than $4500. I have seen a few for less, but those don't have all original parts or they're pretty beat. Most I have seen (which isn't many because they are pretty rare) have been about $5-6K.

I thought the bound necks and block inlays were CBS work.

I haven't been able to listen to Let's Fight yet, but I still think Impossible Germany is the best new song thus far. Of course, only if the solo is at the end.
