Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Rub her, baby, boogie bummers. Rubbers, baby, bumpy buggers.
I have decided to now include the long awaited (not really) and much requested (by no one)...
JD's Page of Lists!!!
You may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" Same as it ever was. No, really, you may ask yourself, "Why does he think I want to see a bunch of his stupid lists about his favorite things?" Well, you've stuck with it so far, so what the hell. This has no relation to the Nick Hornby book "High Fidelity" (or its less satisfying film adaptation) in which several of the characters compile musical top five lists usually full of annoyingly obscure songs and artists. The boys in the record shop would probably kick my ass for such pedestrian categories and choices. These are listed in alphabetical order as not to make the last item on each list feel any less important than the others. I'll add to this page as I think of more silly things to list.

5 Lyrics (not entire songs, but individual lines of verse) I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass. - "Get Over It", The Eagles Tea girls, small and sweet. Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham Suite. - "One Night In Bangkok", Murray Head Two men say they're Jesus. One of them must be wrong. - "Industrial Disease", Dire Straits What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away. What seems to be is always better than nothing. - "What A Fool Believes", Doobie Brothers Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe. - "I Am The Walrus", The Beatles |
