I love a good quote. I got this idea when Colin sent me an email that ended in a nearly prefect quote by Adam Savage (I'll let Colin have the honor of posting it)...

Three of my all times favs:

1) "In the insane society, the sane man must appear insane" - Star Trek

2) "I'd rather be rich than stupid" - Mad Magazine

3) "V.D. is nothing to clap about" - Unknown

When you work from your home
and johns call on the phone
you're a call girl.
When you walk til you limp
and give a cut to a pimp
you're a street whore.
When they're beggin' you "please"
to get down on your knees
near their groinage
Excusa me,
but you see,
don't you touch
where they pee

If you meant the latter was "by" your friend, too, she didn't come up with it herself. The better version goes like this: "Some people are like slinkies..not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs."

Some song lyrics I like right now

So one last touch and then I'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
-Death Cab for Cutie

When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am
- Goo Goo Dolls

For the life of me I can not remember,
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me i can not believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
- The Verve Pipe

Take away the sensation inside
A bittersweet migraine in my head
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
Drain the pressure from the swelling
The sensation's overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
Tell me I won't feel a thing, so give me novocaine
-Green Day

I'm not alone 'cause the TV's on, yeah.
I'm not crazy 'cause I take the right pills everyday.
- Jimmy Eat World (Adam's song)

Sleep with all the lights on.
You're not so happy. You're not secure.
And you're dying to look cute in your blue jeans but you're plastic just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed, impressing most of us as permanent.
And I'd like to see you undone....
Making up a history,
It's nothing from the life you lead
But MAN, will they buy all your lines.

Sleep with all the sheets off baring your mattress,
baring your soul.
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos,
but you're searching just like everyone-
Could be anyone.
And those friends you have are the best,
Impressing most of us as permanent
And I'd like to see you undone....
-Dashboard Confessional

Oh I like these ones by Jack Handey too:

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don't think I'd call it Trampo-Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the inpression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a tramp's gyrations seemed to be getting out of control.
