Shit. Not yet.
Maybe it's post 501 instead of 500.

EDIT: Indeed.

That's the way, Chills, that's the way...

(And if a double decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck, kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine)

Just had to.  It's there every time I see yours, and I have to let it out.  

Word, I'm gonna go put that motherfucker on right. now.

Holy. crap.  I guess I haven't listened to this in a long time.  The little chills and memories that are happening right now is insane.  Woah, I didn't expect that.

That's awesome! haha, glad you enjoy it.
there are some more amazing Mozzer lyrics that can catch me off guard. He's so miserable, but darkly funny too.
What the hell I'll just post some, why not


What she said:
"I smoke 'cos I'm hoping for an
Early death
AND I NEED TO CLING TO SOMETHING


I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But "take me to the haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said


And my favorite: "November Spawned A Monster"


Oh, poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One November
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who must remain
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her


A symbol of where mad, mad lovers
Must PAUSE and draw the line.
So sleep and dream of love
Because it's the closest
You will get to love
That November
Is a time
Which I must
Put OUT of my mind


And many, many more

PS: Congrats Olwiggum on your new-found status, you need a pay raise. Let's say one dollar a post.

Holy fuck, holy fuck!!

"Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear!"
"Sweetheart, I was only JOKING when I said I'd like to mash every tooth in your head."
"I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday, because you're evil and you lie, and if you should die, I may feel slightly sad, but I won't cry."
"And the rocks below say throw your skinny body down, son, but I'm going to meet the one I love, la da da, la da da..."
"Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, and then leave me alone
don't try to wake me in the morning 'cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me I want you to know deep in the cell of my heart I will feel so glad to go"
"You left your girlfriend on the platform with this really ragged notion that you'll return but she knows that when he goes he really goes.  And do you think you've made the right decision this time ?"

l.o.v.e. :)  I'm changing my signature line.

wow, I hadn' seen most of those before. Truly awesome.
It's weird but I couldn't stop laughing when I read those, very amusing in a strange way.

Yes, it's Morrisseeeeeeyyyyyy.  :)

All my quotes were from Smiths days.

Eisey, do you not know The Smiths?!

Quotemr. and mrs. smith?   :P
Well he is rather androgynous...  Well that's not true.  Maybe asexual.  

Hm.  I don't know if you'd like The Smiths or not, Eisey.  I can't imagine anyone NOT liking them, but weirder things have happened.

There's no heavy metal guitar, although Johnny Marr is really really fucking good, the lead singer keeps daffodils in his pockets and when you go to shows, you bring him gladiolas.  He's pretty angsty.  

I'm pretty crazy about them.

For more on The Smiths

http://www.askmeaskmeaskme.com

Or just try to listen to the song "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" and you'll get the essence.

Or listen to the disc "The Singles" for starters.

I couldn't resist, but this is he last one, I promise.

Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay ?

Or does he even have any ?


She says :


"He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again !"

I'll never make that mistake again
I'll never make that mistake again


Boy afraid
Prudence never pays


And everything she wants costs money



"But she doesn't even LIKE me !
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again !"

Oooooohhhhh good one.  

Me and my friend Vanessa were doing Shakespeare in the park one summer, and we had to drive far every day to get there, so we used to put on the Smiths. every. day.  And then we started a game where you had to make up Morrissey songs about stuff that we'd see on the road.  It would go a little something like this:

"Dead raccoon on the road.  Oh, dead raccoon on the road.
And I wonder if the world will cave IN on me today, la di da, la di da.  Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh."

It was highly wicked.  A very good road trip game.  But only if the other person is a Morrissey fan, otherwise the other person does NOT have fun.  (As I recently discovered.)  Neither is reading aloud every sign that you see in a funny voice.  Although, it does make the other person want to let you drive, which is always good.  (I hate being the passenger.)

I agree that "Singles" might be a good place to start, but I am so fond of "Louder than Bombs", that I would recommend that also.  (It's kind of a compilation, too).

Hey EC we've changed this thread into a big Smiths tribute.
It was supposed to be a beautiful celebration of all things olwiggum!

Your road trip game made me laugh though!
And ideed, Louder than Bombs is a fine introduction too, but I'm sure they have more best of's and compilations than regular cd's. There's plenty to choose from.

Shit.  You're right.

Olwiggum is one of my favourite people in the world.  He is seriously so kick-ass that it makes me smile every time I think about him.  He is also extremely talented.  It's kind of ridiculous.  Plus, he's really good at bringing people together.  

He is permanent member of any team I will ever be on.  Evah.  He can even be in my girly book club if he wants.

Wait a gosh darn minute, I was told there was a ten dollar cover charge for the headbands and socks? Who received my money and sent me the receipt?

Just kidding?
