I saw a book once, and read the back cover. (That's how I know most things I know.) Do they all sing like Hedwig?

Who is Hedwig? Poor bunny....I must initiate you to the world of Hedwig. If this song does not move you, all is hopeless:

Hedwig And The Angry Inch
The Origin Of Love

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Looked like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They was part sun, part earth,
Part daughter, part son.

The origin of love.

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
But the Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightning, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping around on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You was looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart,
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We was making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

But perhaps a better context for understanding my reference is...

"Six inches forward, rive inches back -- I've got an angry inch."

One would hope that dlowan's backwoods video store stocks a copy of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Well, I have heard of her, now you mention the angry inch.


May I add that is just the EXTERNAL part of the organ in question - we are bigger than you guys - inside, where it counts....

Hmm. In this case it is the external bit of the organ that is, um, rather crucial.

(Actually, b, I've only seen about the first half of it, and haven't been to the video stpre since then. When I'd first heard the word of mouth, I figured it was just being trafficked on account of its precious subject matter, but it's a very well-crafted film. Wonder what it was like on stage...)

doggie

I saw it on the BIG screen. Actually hadn't known anything about it, other than a credible 'ya gotta go'. Took my seat with a ladyfriend, who had just forced me to smoke marijuana in the underground parking lot. I was delivered unto a new place that night.

Forced, eh? You must have felt so violated... before and after.

Exercise is good indeed, but in your case, exorcism might be better. Laughing
