Must be Spring

Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.

Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.

I just saw two birds having sex on the sidewalk. It must be spring.

That's all.

    1.

    "Ba-ba-bird, bird, bird Bird is a word Ba-ba-bird, bird, bird Bird is a word Well, don't you know about the bird Well everybody knows that the bird is a word! Ba-ba-bird, bird, bird Bird is a word Ba-ba-bird"

    "ONE... is the loneliest number there could be..."

    3.

    "All the world seems in tune On a spring afternoon, When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park. Ev’ry sunday you’ll see My sweetheart and me, As we poison the pigeons in the park."

    :P

    Oh, Tom Lehrer. Well, the way these two were going at it, it was more like the Masochism Tango:

    I ache for the touch of your lips dear, But much more for the touch of your whips dear, You can raise welts like nobody else As we dance to the Masochism Tango
