This Week In Musings

June 18, 1999

When I am dreaming I don't know if I'm truly asleep or if I'm awake

"But doesn't it strike everyone that Fat Man and Skippy, two people who can't stop arguing over everything, are going to be overseas at the same time? Who else besides me can picture the Fat Man throwing Skippy's lightweight adolescent frame across the pillars and ancient stone?" Chris Lough

"They played for a while, Then John Linnell stopped playing and started doing this weird kinda sexy-dance. Flans started dancing in sync with Linnell. The music was still playing, despite the fact that the Johns were dancing up a storm." Girkabob's dream

"To his right was Fred Wolf from SNL playing a little kid's drumset. Kind of in front of him and to his right was Ted Danson. Ted was dressed up like a cowboy and was also playing a little kid's drumset. When they hit the last chord of the song, for some reason, Ted Danson pulled out two little six-shooters and shot them instead of hitting the drums." The Bored Guy's dream

7. Remember that it takes a long time to stop being a newbie, especially if you suck and/or are annoying.

"As you may have noticed, I have layed off on the "Quotations" since you and I had our "confrontation" (For those of you who weren't there, consider yourself lucky. Fruitjuice Everywhere. I don't like to go into the nitty-gritty details here, but let's just say, some people got hurt.)." kev-boy

"Finally, he asked me, 'Do you have long red curly hair?' And I said, 'Yes I do!' because I was eager to please him. The answer seemed to please him. Then without warning I yelled out, 'No I don't! Because if I did that would make me Carrot Top!' Linnell took his hand off my forehead and went, 'Hey...you're right! This bears consideration and thinking.' Then he ran off into a side room and came out with a CD. 'Here', he said, giving me the CD. 'It has our song, 'Planet Plus' on it.'" Chris Lough

"It basically boiled down to this: in the dream, I really had to pee, but everytime I would find a urinal or something and start to pee, I would pass out. It was weird. Like, I'd still be peeing, but I'd just drop to the floor. And I remember one time in the dream, I passed out against a wall while trying to go in a urinal, and when I came to, someone had told me that I'd been peeing in that urinal for an hour." Mike Remiker

"apparently, Flans is in trouble so Linnell leaves a note for his mom and dad and goes to help him. it turns out that Flans has been attacked by a vampire. he's very pale and sick looking and bleeding a lot...and Linnell starts crying and he pets Flans's hair and kisses him on the cheek and tells him not to die, cause he's his best friend and he loves him" Meenie7's dream

"Mono Puff and 'State Songs' are things we get to do without looking over each other's shoulder," Linnell said. "They're what we call 'the Ringo walk," like the part of the movie "Hard Day's Night" where Ringo Starr is walking around by himself, just wrapped up in his own Ringo-ness." John Linnell

"It's 1:00 pm here in Connecticut. And even though we're almost as repressed as Wisconsin, we have tons of uncensored hardcore porn on the broadcast stations nearly all day long (kids' shows from 10 am to 1 pm). And then they show stuff like "When Pets Get Shot" and "When Hookers Get It Up The Ass" all night long. Mike, you'd like it here." Me.

"I picture this beautful snapshot of us, decked out in hawaiian shirts, straw hats and sunglasses, symmetrically laying in hammocks and holding one of those drinks that comes in a coconut. On the bottom, it says 'Thanks for diverting Jesus' wrath, VB!'" Mike Remiker

"Bien sûr j'ai 11 ans! Je suis allé au Bois De Boulogne aujourd'hui. J'ai vu des gens choses drôles qui font dans les bois. Demain, je se perdrai sur le métro! Ils ont des chiens dans les restaurants ici!" Katie Wallace in France! Translated: "Of course I am 11 years old! I went to the Wood Of Boulogne today. I saw funny things people who make in wood. Tomorrow, I will lose myself on the subway! They have dogs in the restaurants here!

"Hoje, Remiker de Mike e eu fui a Brasil. Fomos a um partido grande com lotes de meninas nuas. Jogamos futebol com jesus! (Nao Howard) mais tarde, nós iremos a pescaria para pirhanas. Amo Remiker de Mike. Chutou Jesus' como em futebol!" Katie Wallace in Portugal! Translation: "We play soccer with Jesus! (Nao Howard) later, we will go we would fish it for pirhanas. I love Remiker de Mike. Jesus ' as in soccer kicked!"

"I was setting up some type of Santa Claus figurines on a piano (This struck me as odd even at the time, as I am an avid hater of Santa). I seemed to be having a great deal of trouble getting the figurines to stay standing. A friend who happened to be looking on asked, "Do you think this is the way Santa Claus always looked?" To this, I replied, "If so, they should have made him easier to set up." Elliot Harmon's dream

"I was babysitting my boyfriend's niece, Emily. She's 4. We were sitting at the kitchen table eating push ups. You know, the rainbow-ice cream-on-a-stick sort of things? Anyway, I finished mine, and said "all done!" Emily leaned over the table to look at my push-up. I asked, "what are you doing?" she replied, "I'm looking for the pot of gold!" I then told her that there isn't a pot of gold at the end of things that are rainbow colored, just rainbows. She's a silly monkey." Katie Wallce

"I'll put your schnozz in a box / I'll put your hair in my dress / I'll make you sing and dance / I'll make you cry and confess / Freaky-grrl / I'll make you happy and sad / You will look just like my dad / I'll make you wish you were queer / I'll make you drink lots of beer / Freaky-grrl / I'll make your hair old and gray / I'll buy your life one more day / I'll make you eat stale bagels / I'll make you name your son Ragels / Freaky-grrl / I'll make you, you / I'll do some big voodoo, ooh / Freaky-freak / I'll make your wife marry him / I'll make your future look grim / I'll make you buy a new fridge / I'll make you jump off a ridge / Freaky-grrl." John Nicholas

"it just so happens that the Sugarhill Gang are also recording a childrens album. The next single set for release is going to be called "La Di Da Di (we likes da potty)" Exit Music

"I had a muser dream...The only part I remember is that today, the title of TWIM was, This will be the last TWIM. And VB went on to explain that it became a big hassle to write the thing up, and he forbade anyone from picking it up and continuing it." Rob Dietz. This will never happen.

"We just sat there saying, "Wow, Elvis Costello's trailer! Neet." Then Elvis Costello popped his head up from behind the seat! He had some girl with him. He said, "Oh, hello." He wasn't really surprised that we were sitting in the front of his Winnebago." My dream. I hope this does happen.
