Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to be used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you.
Some of them want to be abused.

Errrr Language is a virus is sampled from that funky old geezer William
S. Burroughs. Say when is he going to join accordion? And that reminds me,
where are the guest stars and cameo apperances?

I was waiting for someone to tell me Language is a virus is Wm. S.
Burroughs. But I think that particular quote is attributable
to Ms. Anderson, since she extended it.
Personally, I prefer my Burroughs with an Anderson filter.
Did Trent really hyphenate "no-one" like that?
I wonder if he has a vitamin D deficiency.

Well, Trent sang it.
What's wrong with hyphenating it?

All lies and jest.
Still, a man he hears what he wants to and he
disregards the rest.
-Paul Simon
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
-Lucius Accius
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of
-Blaise Pascal
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
- Monty Python's Flying Circus
Oh bury me not on the lone prarie
Where the lone coyotes may howl o'er my grave
-The dying cowboy
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburgers.

Is that true about sacred cows? Who said it?
(And the first time through, I thought it said
"scared cows")
))Why did I think that was funny?((

(No one is two words, she said in her best orthographically correct voice)
I still think Trent Reznor must have a vitamin D deficiency. It probably
explains everything.

"Orthographically correct." I like it. But I'm
going to generalize it before further use:
"Orthogonally correct."
Yes and no.
