My co-workers hated me for getting “the memory remains” by metallica stuck in their heads. You know the one, it goes “Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na. Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na. Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na. Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na. Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na. Na na na na, na-na-na; na-na-nana-na-na.” Over and over and over and over again. If you know this song, don’t think about it… too late. Sorry. * * * how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking… VvvV “Winners never quit and quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.” ---

> [@](#): > > Na na na na Hey hey hey, goodbyyyyeeee. Congratulations, you have just unintentionally wedged that song into my head which replaces “the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round.” Seems like an even trade-off to me, I guess. * * * I am the user formerly known as puffington. ---

I think I love you/ So what am I so afraid of/ I’m afraid that I’m not sure of/ A love there is no cure for ad nauseum. –Tim * * * We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak. ---

I remember the words from (IIRC) a Dave Barry article. What song is it? What is it ABOUT? Why the stupid lyrics? ---

The song is, ‘MacArthur’s Park’ and I’ve no idea what it meant other than he had some serious advice for not baking in the rain. So don’t DO that! * * * “I only use 10% or less of what I study.
