| "welcome to your mama's house" |
in my fourth favorite movie of all time (some kind of
wonderful), one of the characters asks a bully if he was
in the right room for detention. the bully responds with,
"no this is your grandmother's house, and we're all havin'
a party." |
| "everything is everything" |
"everything is everything" is the title of my
favorite lauryn hill song. |
| "no david hasselhoff here" |
this page title appears on my plug for nightrider screen

rider." |

there is this old song by (i think) the dead milkmen called

if you figured this one out, you are officially my favorite
person in the world.
|
| "the art of faith" |
this title is based on the latter-day saint tenets known
as "the articles of faith." |
| "swear, or else!" |
this is a remixing of the word "elsewhere." |
| bikini kill |
bikini kill was an old all-girl punk band. legend has it
that the lead singer told kurt cobain that he "smelled
like teen spirit," which was where cobain got the title
for his band's famous song. bikini kill is also mentioned
prominently in the movie 10 things i hate about you
as one of kat's favorite bands.
on a side note, i was going to name the feature "bikini
sluts," but i was afraid of offending my stylist.
|
| "bikini shucks" |
this is just a play on the name of the salon: "bikini
cuts." |
| rolling stoned |
this is just a play on the magazine name: "rolling
stone." |
| "stoned and dethroned" |
stoned and dethroned is the title of a jesus and mary chain
cd. |
| the symptoms of the cure |
usually cures don't have symptoms. diseases have symptoms. |
| "the cure all" |
a friend of mine from my old work at neways have a joke
about all the neways products we don't know the purpose of.
we would say the product is a "cure all," meaning
it does nothing. |
| "my bloody valentine" |
my bloody valentine is a sort of weird band i remember from
the early nineties. |

want to cry" |

| the minority report |
of course this is directly from philip k. dick's short story
called "the minority report." |
| "busted from across
town" |
this one is a reach. it's supposed to sound like being "bussed
from across town" as part of a desegregation program. |
| a little bit of tid |
this is a drawn out form of the word "tidbits." |
| "titbids" |
this is a mixed up and dirtier version of the word "tidbits." |
| the six dollar man |
there was a movie in the seventies that i never saw called
the six million dollar man. in it, the government
augments a guy with bionic parts to make him a sort of superhero.
the augmentation process apparently cost six million dollars.
my joke is that my body is actually worth only six dollars.
another interpretation (albeit a wrong one) is that i'm
referencing carl's jr.'s six dollar burger. this is wrong
since the point of the title is that my body isn't very
valuble. the six dollar burger supposedly is.
|
| SINISTER WRIST |
sinister means left-handed in latin. |
| NINE NANOMETER NAILS |
this is based on the band name nine inch nails. |
| ME SO CORNY |
2 live crew had an extremely offensive song called "me
so horny." |
| SHELOB IN DA HIZZY! |
"da hizzy" of course means "the house."
shelob is the name of the giant spider from the lord of
the rings. |
| shirt happens |
this is obviously a variation on the silly bumper sticker
"shit happens." |
| noways |
this is a combination of the ultimate denial phrase "no
way" and neways, the crappy company i used to work for. |
| the two thousand five hundred and
fourteen dollar man |
taking into account the original six dollars i'm worth,
plus the $2500 for the surgery plus the eight dollars i needed
to write the cashier's check for such a high amount makes
my new blue book value $2514. |
| science non-fiction double feature |
this is based on the song "science fiction double feature"
from the rocky horror picture show. |
| catching up with rexbasior |
depeche mode put out an early greatest hits cd called catching
up with depeche mode. i actually used that album's cover
art for the picture associated with this entry. i pasted my
own head over martin gore's. |
| death by cure |
once again, usually cures prevent death and don't aid it. |
| summer of the junkies (or groove
to the cure) |
there was some book we read in elementary school called
summer of the monkeys.
there are some songs by the cure you can actually groove
to, but this title is actually in reference to the entry
dealing with the groovers' trip to california first, followed
by my own exploits with the cure.
