hahaha nah i didn't, it's just the winamp play list
generator thing, couldnae be bothered to delete them.

Milkshake = cool cat, cool person, "What's the scoop,
milkshake?" for example

he's great! *puts bone machine on*

i love it in "twelve monkeys" when 'earth died screaming'
kicks in!

do exclamation marks lose their impact if used at the end of
every sentence?.... !

Oh, and if it's for your girl, why not try some Tom
Traubert's Blues or Step Right Up?

I like Tom because he's FUN - not enough people have fun
with their music these days....

"God builds a church, the devil builds a chapel like the
thistles round the trunk of a tree, all the good in the
world you could put inside a thimble, and still have room
for you and me."

Damn, love those lyrics, and the voice that sings them.
