What is it with me agreeing with Copenhagen Fan lately? I've gotta quit this.

Anyway, that is a stupid line, but I really enjoy the next one after it: "I don't wanna be your lover/I just wanna be your victim." Something depraved, desperate and sexy about it. Makes up for the stupid mother line.

'Lying about, laying in bed.....'

I know, I know, but it is a little redundant.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Heard this just after reading this thread...

My lifestyle determines my deathstyle

-Metallica
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fuckin' cross? It's kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

You are what you is

Post by A rope leash »

Do you know what you are?
You are what you is
You is what you am
(a cow don't make ham...)
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it 'tis

A foolish young man
From a middle class fam'ly
Started singin' the blues
'cause he thought it was manly
Now he talks like the kingfish
("saffiiiee!")
From amos 'n andy
("holy mack'l dere...holy mack'l
Dere!")
He tells you that chitlins...
Well, they taste just like candy
He thinks that he's got
De whole thang down
From the nivea lotion
To de royal crown

Do you know what you are?
You are what you is
You is what you am
(a cow don't make ham...)
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it 'tis

A foolish young man
Of the negro persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a caucasian
He stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
He traded his dashiki
("uhuru!")
For some jordache jeans
He learned to play golf
An' he got a good score
Now he says to himself
("i ain't no nigger no more...hey! hey! hey!")

"i don't understand you..."
Bwana ma-coo-bah
"would you please speak more clearly..."
Mercedes bainnnnnnnz

Who is who
(i don't know)
'n what is what
(somethin' i just don't know...)
'n why is this


tell me now...)
Appropriot
(that's a funny pronunciation if'n ever
I heard one...)
If you don't like
(where'd you get that word?)
What you has got
(appropriot? the word is not...)
Drop it in the dirt
(drop it yeah...)
'n let it rot
(i can smell it now...)
Someone else
(here de come, here de come...)
Will surely come
(i told you they was comin')
'n pick it up
(that's right!)
'cause he wants some
(an' he wants it for free...)
And when one day
(there will come a day...)
You wonder who
(i wonder too...)
You used to was
(who i was anyway...)
'n what you do
(i used to work at the post office...)
You'll scratch your head
(but i don't wanna un-do my doo...)
'n look around
(just to see what's goin' on)
But what you lost
(can't seem to find it...)
Will not be found
(a mercedes benz...)
Do you what you are?
(i know...)
You are what you is
(i'm the kinda guy...)
You is what you am
(that ought to be drivin' a mercedes benz...)
A cow don't make a ham
(a four-fifty slc...)
You ain't what you're not
(a big ol' red one...)
So see what you got
(with some golf clubs stickin' out de trunk...)
You are what you is
(i'm gwine down to de links on saturday mornin'...)
An' that's all it is
(gimme a five dollar bill...)
You are what you is
(and an overcoat too...)
And that's all it is
(robbie, take me to greek town...)
You are what you is
(i'm harder than yer husband; harder than yer husband...)
An that's all it is
(i'm goin' down to white street, y'all...)
You are what you is
(gone down to the mudd club, 'n work
The wall...)
An that's all it is
('n work the floor 'n work the pipe 'n
Work the wall some more...
And here we are at the mudd club,
Y'all...
I hope you enjoy yourself, cause the
Show's about
To begin...)

I heard this in the supermarket today:

"The next time I fall in love I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love it will be with you."

I don't know if Peter Cetera wrote that, but oh did he sing it! :(

Hey, MM! Look time no see....!

And who can forget....

The the "l" out of "lover"
And it's "over."

Which reminds of something a guy I used to know named Doug was saving up for the right situation (don't know if he ever found it)....

The difference between "Doug" and "Dog" is You....

Just heard this lyric on a Madness album (Absolutely)

"She said he's gone away on a short holiday, he won't be back for a while.." :?
"But they can't hold a candle to the reciprical war crimes which have plagued our policy of foriegn affairs."

Monk or Doofster? You have to be just one, life is complicated enough as it is.

(not that you guys would care) but i like the goatee.
i don't like beards and not really mustaches either (although some people NEED to have a mustache...like Freddie Mercury!)
but the goatee is a good compromise. i loved it when my husband had one. i keep telling him i wish he'd grow it back.....but he doesn't listen to me as much as i don't listen to him.

(isn't that right, dear?)
I'm not angry anymore....

Sweet Pear: If you are referring to that song by REO Speedwagon, I Can't Fight This Feeling, uuuuuuuugh. That goopy song is probably half the reason I married my first husband. Damn stupid song. I had poor taste in music AND men then. :?
