WHITE TRASH by Fred Eaglesmith From: http://www.panix.com/~tneff/eaglesmith/

When I met her she was a beauty queen You're always something more Now she's hanging out with me In front of the liquor store. And it won't start when I shut it off So she has to get the beer She puts it in the back seat And she quietly says to me... When, exactly, did we become white trash? How come we've got seven dogs living in the g'rage? How come the only eight-track in our car is Johnny Cash? When, exactly, did we become white trash? She tells all our friends that I've got my Ph.D. But it stands for post hole digger It ain't exactly a degree. And there's curtains on the windows And we hardly watch tv. And that double wide is triple wide Now that she's with me. And she says, When, exactly, did we become white trash? How come we got seven dogs, who burned down the g'rage? How come the only eight-track in our car is Johnny Cash? When, exactly, did we become white trash? Girls: (falsetto) When, exactly, did we become white trash? Boys: (deep bass) When, exactly, did we become white trash? (Insert your village/town/city/venue) When, exactly, did we become white trash?

Meanwhile, I just saw this picture: http://www.bressler.org/hate/x09.jpg but the thumbnail looked like Dylan, and I was immediately inspired to do: ANOTHER SIDE OF OSAMA BIN DYLAN ------------------------------- He-ey Mr Taliban Man, play a song for me... - The anthrax, my friend, is blowin' in the wind... - All around the White House, spotters kept a view... - You walk onto the plane, a box-cutter in your hand... - When you're lost in the rain in Kabul and it's Ramadan too... Gimmee a couple days and I may have an album here.

"I THINK" Alanis Morissette-type song generated by software by David Neilsen

I Think shits are really a huge problem I Think thieves are too much on my mind I Think frauds have got a lot to do with why the world sucks But what can you do? Like a blue rain, beating down on me Like a Ginzberg line, which won't let go of my brain Like Shelly's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush I Think killers are gonna drive us all crazy And liars make me feel like a child I Think dickheads will eventually be the downfall of civilization But what can you do? I said what can you do? Like a blue rain, beating down on me Like a Ginzberg line, which won't let go of my brain Like Shelly's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush Like a blue rain, beating down on me Like Shelly's smile, cruel and cold Like Ginzberg's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush Blame it on Bush

EATING WITH THE FREAKS by Tony Mills

After posting NO VEGETABLES WERE HARMED to SkeptiChat, we received this: Ric A man after my own heart, my "band" also has a vegetarian song (see below) about going to vegetarian restaurants The other Tony "meat lovin'" Mills EATING WITH THE FREAKS Traffic rolls by Lookin' out the window pain Inside sits your meal Nothing that has been slain Chorus: Your Eatin' with the freaks You'll be chewn' on a leek Caus' Eatin' with the freaks Your will becomes so weak Verse2: There with your friends Just going with the flood Is all look so healthy But no meat and definitely no blood Chorus: Bridge: How long to my secret is revealed I could really down some veal If they put me under the pump Id tell them I'd love some rump Chorus: Give me some meat!

WHEN VEGGIES GO BAD by Tracy Hamby

Okay, here's a poem that seems relevant somehow (I actually wrote this about 13 years ago but I don't remember why). ============== In the twilight of the pantry, my potato's eyes were bright. And though I loved it dearly, it gave me quite a fright. Its skin was green and scaly, with little stripes, in blues. And since it had two legs now, it wore my running shoes. It seemed to cast a little glow, a glow of palest red... But nothing scared me quite as much as when it turned and said, "Your baking days are over; your nuking days are gone. And when I'm through with talking, you'll be scattered on the lawn." I begged it to consider the results of such a crime... It laughed, and then it giggled, and said, "I'll do the time." So I'm scattered on the lawn now, and my friends I'd like to warn: potaters can be traitors, so you'd better stick to corn. ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Yes, tiny pickle! You are not a mighty dill. You are just a baby gherkin!" Philippe Pea - VeggieTales > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <treighsea@att.net> > Subject: RE: [SC] when veggies go bad > Oh, I'd love to eat my "betters" > I'd eat them every day, > I'd cover them in butter, > and do a nice saute... Devouring superiors Is good for my career It's easier than working hard And frothier than beer
