My Favorite Toy (see picture)
They
were the Days of Vomit. He vomited in the morning. He vomited in the evening, all over this house. It's the vomit of justice, it's the puke of warning, it's the barf of love between the brothers, sisters, pets friends and neighbors, all over this land.
Once again, my über-intelligent daughter received straight A's on her report card. God, it's great to have a kid that smart. I wish I were that smart, but I fear if I were, I'd use my power for evil MUAHAHAHA!!!
Ahem.
Interesting discussion today between me and a 40-ish woman in one of my classes. She informed me that the song "If I had a Hammer" referred to communism, "You know, the whole hammer-and-sickle thingy the Russians have on their flag." I had never really thought about it. I heard the song, of course, growing up, but thought it was a catchy campfire song that was just a hell of a lot of fun to sing. So I called my mom, who was an adult when that song became popular (I wasn't even alive yet.) She had no idea. Dad calls me back and explained to me that the song kicked off the civil rights campaigns and that it had nothing to do with communism, but some Southerners who were stuck in times of antiquity perceived it as being a "commie" song. Don't believe him? he said, tell 'em you heard it from your exptemely right-wing, seventy-year old dad who lived it.
(in case you're wondering, the whole vomit diatribe is based on that song.)

You have a cool blog, too! Thanks for the comments on mine. I like your entry titled "Beavis and Butthead" with your example of Rush in that survey. I had to leave a comment on that, too!
Oh... and I used that survey on my MySpace bulletin. Hoping to see what others think of it. Thanks again!
Thank yo, Chris!
