I live in a sea of anonynmity.

[Boogie]

Surrounded by mediocrity...

[trof]

1. Is it peaceful there?

[Boogie]

2. frantic

[mzteris]

3. I'm sorry -

who are you again?

:rofl:

[Boogie]

4. I'm the guy in front of you in the check out lane.

Staring at the pictures of shaved head Britney on all the tabloid covers and weeping for humanity.

[mzteris]

6. I bet you have

18 items in the 15 or less line, too, don't you?

:mad:

[Boogie]

8. A law not enforced is not a law at all.

The cashier is the ultimate arbiter of justice in the realm of the supermarket. When they refuse to police their own customs and practices the whole system breaks down into anarchy.

[mzteris]

13. um - you sure you have the right place?

I mean - The Lounge????????

Methinks this is way too deep/heavy for the likes of The Lounge. . .

Don't get me wrong - I think I might like it, but you just may be casting pearls before swine here. Not that the people here can't/won't appreciate it - it's just that it's not what's expected *here*, if you know what I mean.

Welcome to DU, btw... :hi:

[Boogie]

17. I think so.

This is the Bentley owners group isn't it? I'm having trouble with the automatic cork screw on the passenger side dash. Is there a Rolls/Land Rover dealership you can point me to old boy?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. I was a victim of circumstance

--as are we all. (Kurt Vonnegut)

:shrug:

[Boogie]

7. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

9. Isn't the sea of anonymity where

Puff the Magic Dragon used to frolic in the autumn mist?

[Crabby Appleton]

10. I live among Sea Anemone

[styersc]

12. I will probably live to see an enema.

<Good taste forbids a graphic>

[Boogie]

15. Graphic would probably look similar to above pic.

Something very colo-rectal about that anemone.

[puerco-bellies]

24. D'oh!!!!

I just posted this in a copy-cat thread... I should read these things first.

[MichiganVote]

11. So what?

[Boogie]

26. So, let's dance!

[Generic Brad]

14. Not any more

Now we know you're here and in the Lounge you are surrounded by collective greatness (myself excluded).

Welcome to DU, Boogie!
:hi:

[Danger Mouse]

16. How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me?

How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
How can I know so many, never really knowing anyone?
If I seem superhuman, I have been misunderstood.
-Dream Theater (yo)

[KitchenWitch]

18. And have nothing but apathy...

[Boogie]

22. The ultimate in apathy.

Calvin and Hobbes when Calvin is explaining the correct method of wathing TV. Something about keeping his jaw slack and his eyes barely focused. It is the classic Calvin & Hobbes.

[Boogie]

23. Here is the full on quote. Friggin' hilarious.

I try to make television-watching a complete forfeiture of experience. Notice how I keep my jaw slack, so my mouth hangs open. I try not to swallow either, so I drool, and I keep my eyes half-focused, so I don't use any muscles at all. I take a passive entertainment and extend the passivity to my entire being. I wallow in my lack of participation and response. I'm utterly inert. I'm going to leave before you start attracting flies. I can almost feel my neural transmitters shutting down.

Wish I could find the actual cartoon.:-(

[driver8]

19. Boogie -- is your name from the movie "Diner"?? n/t

[Boogie]

20. negative

It was the nickname of a kid at the school where I used to work. Boogie came in one day and said something about being "so stressed out." The teacher in the classroom, without batting an eye looked at him and said "How the hell can you be stressed out with a name like 'Boogie'?" Everyone in the class died laughing.

[driver8]

21. Ha Ha -- that is classic! n/t

25. we all live in a yellow submarine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM5NIi8m_kQ

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play.
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
