My name's Otis and I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow. I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow. Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear. This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap.

Hi Joe! Do you like things with double letters?!? Me too. My name is Stephanie and I don't like Garrison Keilor (sp!) or Capri Pants. I like Spectator Pumps. That's not a game or anything, that's real. I like games, but I don't, you know, play games.

You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.

posted by Miko 23 March | 14:55

I do, rainbaby, I do!

(I also like bacchanalia, the Phillies and wool, but I don't have anything against parties, and silk's lovely, but, y'know, not for me. I'm still mad at the Reds about Marge Schott.)

They often call me Speedoo, but my real name is Mr. Earl.

I can't help but notice how few actual noobs are turning up. It's sort a funny commentary that, apparently, they registered by the dozens, looked around for a day or so, and seem to have decided they could live without us.

Thanks, rainbaby! But you'll be cursing me come Sunday when the Humpty Dance is still running through your head.

"Listen... listen my name is Harry Caul. Can you hear me? Don't be afraid. I - I know you don't know who I am, but I know you. There isn't much to say about myself. I was very sick when I was a boy. I was paralyzed in my left arm and my left leg and couldn't walk for six months. When doctor said that I'd probably never walk again. My mother... my mother used to lower me into a hot bath - it was therapy. One time the doorbell rang and she went down to answer it. I started sliding down. I could feel the water starting to come up to my chin, to my nose, and ah, when I woke up, my body was all greasy from the holy oil she put on my body. And I remember being disappointed that I survived. When I was five, ah... my father introduced me to a friend of his and for no reason at all, I hit him right in the stomach with all my strength. And he died a year later.
He'll kill you if he gets the chance.
I'm not afraid of death... but I am afraid of murder."
