I’m sorry I missed you **Darlin**. I was collecting the unanswered ones at work, where I periodically have to act as if I’m working. Meaning there is a lot of sudden minimizing. P.S., I don’t know any of yours. I’ve been fignting the urge to google it. If no one answers it soon I will, just to find out. But I won’t post it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miss Bianca \* > \*\* > > Dead Kennedys, _California Uber Alles_ > > 1. And I feel like a beetle on its back, and there’s no way for me to get back… \*\* Swear to god, as I was scrolling down I was thinking about posting my surprise nobody got my Dead Kennedy’s one, and then maybe a Gang of Four quote. Gang of Four- Anthrax “Love will get you like a case of anthrax. And that something I don’t want to catch.” 57. “Honest to goodness, the bars weren’t open this morning. They must have been voting for the president or something.” 58. “Now people will cry and people will moan And look for a dry place to call their own. And try to find someplace to rest their bone Before the angel and the devil try to make them their own.” 1. "- girls and fucked them at school. All I know is there we rumours he was into field hockey player. There were rumours… So he applied basically. He was gone the very next day He went off with the team. It was like- he got- they’d just like…it was so hush hush. They were so…quiet about it. And the next thing you know…" And since it’s appropriate- 1. "Welcome to the US- '80’s/'90’s. Welcome to the US- '80’s/'90’s No beer No cigarettes spikes, gin, cigarettes Whiskey" ---
