Too busy shagging to make good records?

Or they make records that sound like they're in the process of shagging, see "Je t'aime" for details...

Of course I realise this is just a crude stereotype, but they don't half live up to it!

So... so far Corpy is still sleeping in the gutter. Somethings never change

There's always Jean-Michel Jarre.

Gainsbourg is great! Really! (and there must be some other good French musicians I cannot thing of at the moment)

And I do like France in general actually, but I like the world, so that's not really specific

MC Solaar is top too In fact the French make the finest hip-hop and house in Europe. You've got to get summat right, the Germans and the Belgians have all the good techno wrapped up (Never-ever, under any circumstances, ever, listen to German Hip-hop )

German Hip Hop... Just the thought of it makes me have an incredible laugh

Hey!

at least your office training will mean you'll be able to stand the freezing cold and constant background noise.

I'd love to argue with you about that, but I have no grounds.

Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all.

eh?

Pick a username and stick with it, yo--I stay away from the political threads these days.

It's from Catch 22 which is where the user name is from too.

Snowden is the dead man in Yossarin's tent. He's dead, but still lives in the tent because he died before he properly arrived at the airbase. So he isn't officially dead.

He got shot on a bombing m*****n. He complained it was so cold. Yossarin thought it was just because they were high up and there was a big gaping hole in the plane. It wasn't. It was because Snowden's guts were hanging out. All Yossarin had was some aspirin in the (hopelessly inadequate) M&M supplied first aid kit. He gave them to Snowden and said "there there" alot. Snowden kept repeating that he was cold.

Wrong thread, I apologise. I lost my direction while dodging the flak.

Gotcha. You're all over the place today, aren't you? By political threads I meant this, which I only just noticed. Go home and relax. Read a book or somethin'. I promise to make a more focused attempt at being so very clever, but it may take a few days. It's been a while, and my brain's a bit flabby. Like, for real. And stuff.

Hmm. It is a work of fiction, and not that well written, I'll wager. Not high on my list.

Brain a bit flabby, but otherwise gorgeous?

I think whether or not it's entirely fictitious is up for debate, but I've not put it in my Amazon shopping cart either; I was counting on you to give me all the dirt on this scandalous, and frankly kinda gross, phenomenon.

Dunno about gorgeous, but I just got a haircut so I am, at least, kempt-ish. Which is about as far as my expectations go!
