(But not for long!)

What is the answer? In that case, what is the question?

Why yes -- a bulletproof vest.

Go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.

Now, now my good man, this is no time for making enemies.

Am listening to that song right now (had to look for it though).

You big dork. Heard the Muppet version? It was the best thing in the world, particularly with the accompanying skit.

[naewinter.livejournal.com]

It was only in another playlist on iTunes =D

Oh! I haven't, I did once have the M'nah m'nah song on cassette.

I could have sworn I had a copy of the Muppet version, but apparently not. Ah well.

I thought Wilde was, "Either those curtains go or I do."

I heard that was Dorothy Parker. In any event, I think it's apocryphal.

I've heard that one was merely a myth. Can't judge for the veracity of the above remark, of course.

A MYTH?! My world is falling apart, everything I have known is a lie!

/melodrama (sort of)

I adore Voltaire.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Me too, though I must confess not to have read any of his work, even Candide. He deserves adoration for such a remark.

[jolly-oddness.livejournal.com]

I love that song.

Voltaire owns the world. And that James Rodges fellow *snicker*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

*grins* He does indeed.

Volaire is my hero, I think.
