It wasn't Ralph McTell, was it?

It was Ralph McTell who recorded it.

Fuck knows who Fergus was listening to.

Could have been me, but I always used to sing Baker Street, by Jerry Springer. The one that bloke cuts the copper's ear off to. In that Quentin Crisp fillum. Or was that the Billy Connolly song?

I dunno.

Clueless on the coast.

Skoob.

Oh, why the hell not.

(ETA: Responding to the original question. )

1. "I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do."

--"Your Song," Elton John and Bernie Taupin

Maybe not the most influential lyric upon my life, but it does come in handy.


2. "When I spend the time, I'll go!"

-- my son when he was a small child

To this day I have no idea what the hell it means. And neither does he.


3. "Sir, yes, upon a slip'ry floor laid fresh
With wax 'tis true mayhap thou canst tread bold.
And shouldst thou slip, and crack thy head upon
The tile, small harm I wot willst thou incur."

-- The Merry Travails of the All-Night Grocer, Act I, Scene 5

1) "If lonliness meant world acclaim, Everyone would know my name, I'd be a legend in my time"

Johnny Cash ~ Legend in My Time
Reminds me of my second marriage break up.


2) "Better looking at it than looking for it"

If you have too much of something.

3) "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are written on The Spoof, they have just yet to be found."

Ferg - I just meant you seem jitttery is all. It looks good on you, though.

For me, caffeine is the fluid of life. That's what's left when you get paroled and can't do anything else anymore - drink, smoke the ganj, have sex with the mailman, conceal & carry, vote...


It's hell living in polite society!

Why can't you do any of those things????

Court order. Illinois judges are tough. As our former governor, Blago, is about to find out.
