The best line I've heard all night is "I have a folded Strunk and White up my butt." I don't think I could get married to a person who didn't.

You know you need a new computer when you can type faster than it can keep up, he added parenthetically.

I originally posted just the goldfish stanza but, upon review, decided that the entire song pretty much sums up my view of life.

So here is the whole thing. Little Plastic Castles by Ani Difranco. I think she's the reason I want to live in NYC so badly. Well, her, KRS-One, Mos Def and grafitti.

in a coffee shop in a city
which is every coffee shop
in every city
on a day
which is every day
i picked up a magazine
which is every magazine
and read a story,
and then forgot it right away

they say goldfish have no memory
i guess their lives are much like mine
and the little plastic castle
is a surprise every time
and it's hard to say if they're happy
but they don't seem much to mind

         yeeha

from the shape of your shaved head
i recognized your silhoutte
as you walked out of the sun and sat down
and the sight of your sleepy smile
eclipsed all the other people
as they paused to sneer at the two girls
from out of town

i said, look at you this morning
you are, by far, the cutest
but be careful getting coffee
i think these people want to shoot us
or maybe there's some kind of local competition here
to see who can be the rudest

people talk
about my image
like i come in two dimensions
like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
like what i happen to be wearing
the day that someone takes a picture
is my new statement for all of womankind

i wish they could see us now
in leather bras and rubber shorts
like some ridiculous team uniform
for some ridculous new sport
quick someone call the girl police
and file a report

         yeah

in a coffe shop in a city
which is every coffee shop in every city
on a day which is every day

Followed up with Placebo's Pure Morning. This song is going in my next radio show.

a friend in needs a friend indeed,
a friend with weed is better,
a friend with breasts and all the rest,
a friend who's dressed in leather,

a friend in needs a friend indeed,
a friend who'll tease is better ,
our thoughts compressed,
which makes us blessed,
and makes for stormy weather,

a friend in needs a friend indeed,
my japanese is better,
and when she's pressed she will undress,
and then she's boxing clever,

a friend in needs a friend indeed,
a friend who bleeds is better,
my friend confessed she passed the test,
and we will never sever,

day's dawning, skins crawling [repeat three more times]
pure morning, [repeat this three more times]
