Pirata's Stories

They all get mad.  They all get late.

pirata: zigzagzang: kinneybum: Violent Femmes- Waiting for the bus

this is one of my favorite Femmes songs everrrrr

the first time i heard it was when my friend katie would sing it at any opportunity.  i mean ANY.  waiting for the chair lift.  waiting in line at the cafeteria.  waiting for the school bell.  waiting for anyone to do anything.  she sang about it.  just like this.  and goddamn was it catchy.  soon enough i was singing about everything like this too.  

katie and i also did other weird things like wearing our ski hats to class.  no where in the manual did it say we could’nt wear hats.  eat that, dean!  har!  it was one of those all girls catholic joints with the whole getup and all that and no where did it say “no ski hats”.  well, until us.  then they put that in.  so then we just put random crap in the hats and continued to wear them, claiming them to be purses, clearly.  the manual didnt say anything about not wearing purses on your head.  

i did just about everything that was trouble without precedence as such.  that manual went through many editions from my attendance.  if you’re good maybe one day i’ll tell about about what happened to the laughing jesus.  also very amusing: take the heads off of the bullfrogs from biology and place them so they are biting the tongues of people’s shoes in the gym locker room.  heheheheh. 

they all get mad.

they all get late.
