My ex-room mate listened to them all the time. At first I loved it--after the fourth or fifth month it got to me. It truly was what going mad feels like.

Because I am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy? Capitalism. I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on Aisle Three. My wormhole technology... and a free set of steak knives... for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me... welcome to my cold war.

Hay everybody take this test ( wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn/tmbg.html ) and let us know how you did.

I said yes to 95 of them. I think that puts me about here> "36-55: Mr. Me. You show serious Gianthead potential-apply yourself!"

funny, I always tended to skip that particular one.

I guess to each their own. I bet there are plenty who skip past Hearing Aid, or Museum of Idiots.

Man, Museum of Idiots. That one just grows on you. I can't figure out why I love it so much. I just do.

They built this whole neighborhood out of wood, out of wood
I hope I'll still be around when they burn, burn it down

I like that one too! The Spine is the best, most of all, for Thunderbird!

Makes me think of..."Standing in my yard
Where they tore down the garage
To make room for the torn down garage"
