You grownups will never understand! Nothing you say can hurt **Cull** because he’s a **rebel!** He rides a skateboard, wears Limp Bizkit t-shirts and wipes from back to front! He **rejects** your hypocritical bourgeois values, man! You’re all just jealous because you don’t have the **balls** to listen to Blink 182 and read _Catcher In The Rye!_ So go wallow in your mediocre cesspools of suburban decay and leave the cool people alone! ---

Hmm, apparently Mademoiselle **Cull** is just a tad obssesed with us. And, again, Sondheim speaks for **Cull** : [quote] ALL AFTERNOON, DOING EV`RY LITTLE CHORE, THE THOUGHT OF YOU STAYS BRIGHT. SOMETIMES I STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR, NOT GOING LEFT, NOT GOING RIGHT. I DIM THE LIGHTS AND THINK ABOUT YOU, SPEND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TO THINK ABOUT YOU. YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME, OR WERE YOU JUST BEING KIND? OR AM I LOSING MY MIND? I WANT YOU SO, IT`S LIKE I`M LOSING MY MIND. DOES NO ONE KNOW? IT`S LIKE I`M LOSING MY MIND ---

Someone who listens to the bands you mentioned would never read a book. Your shotgun method of criticism missed, I’m afraid. Though I do reject hypocritical values, the label “bourgeois” is useless. Do you have some reason why people shouldn’t reject hypocritical values? No, you just seek to put me in a box, because compartmentalization is so neat and clean. Well… nobody belongs in a box. Nobody is that trivial, not even you. Life isn’t black and white, it is much more complex. We live in a world of glorious technicolor. Just open your eyes and look. I’m glad that you’re interested enough in me to sit there and think about what my life must be like, even if you didn’t get it right. ---

Fine. If we’re going to Kander and Ebb, then let’s go ALL the way back. Let’s reflect on Cull’s description of the totalitarian oppression he suffered when he was FORCED _, **FORCED** _ to post on the fascist message board, as we consider **Flora, the Red Menace** : Are you in favor of free milk for kids? If you’re in favor of milk for kids! Here sign, sign here! Free milk for kids! A good Message Board! The rights of man! Democracy! Then it’s clear! It’s clear! You’re a Communist! Sign here! The wind of change is blowing The tide is rolling in! And we’ve a richer, riper, fresher, faster Board That you can all post in! Damn…now I wanna jump to Les Miserables: Do you hear the poster’s rant Posting the posts of angry men It is the posting of a grumpy guy Who’s posts were eaten again! Do you hear old Cully’s rage Echo the rage that’s in our hearts It’s a post that’s quite as loud as a rodent’s fart.\* Fenris \*Hey, they can’t all be instant classics. At least it rhymes. ---

In fact, for me it never works. Why? I have no idea. But on my system if I hit the back button, 95% of the time, anything in any form previous is once again magically blank.

\*\* Ferris \*\* I recently heard that song on Sarah Brightman’s “Encore” CD, and I love it. But what is the lyric after: An aeroplane flies across the bay, But I can hear you as clear as day. You say you love me above… I can’t make it out. I don’t like pie. I love cheesecake. I bought a huge 12 slice (6 flavor) cheesecake at the store on Wednesday, and went I went on Sunday, they had a special 8 slice (4 flavor) autumn cheescake. So I bought one of those too. ---

I really love Sondheim’s stuff and that’s probably my all-time favorite Sondheim song. (For anyone who cares, it’s from **Saturday Night**.) And _BRIGHTMAN_ did a version of this? Darnit, Annie! Now I gotta go out on my lunch break to get a copy! She’s gotta be great doing that song (My current favorite version is by Liz Calloway) Fenris ---
