Alex,

Me and bugs. Same thing—and believe me, in Delaware we have bugasauruses.

If there’s a bigger, badder bug-catcher around, I’ll fall apart. If it’s me, I shiver and shake, do what I have to, then listen to my heart pounding to break my ribs for a half hour afterwards. Turns out I really do have guts, if I know I’m where the buck stops.

(But I’d rather not!)

Until later,

Kelly

When I think of that line, I remember when I had a house fire. A candle in a glass sitting on a wooden shelf in the bathroom broke and set the shelf and a radio on fire (as well as part of the sloped ceiling). I found it, yelled "Fire!" to my roommate and friend who were watching TV, then proceed to rip apart the kitchen cupboard where I knew I had a fire extinguisher. I put out the fire while my roommate called the fire department and our friend literally spun in circles. Afterward I gave her a big hug and said: "In a crisis, make sure you have someone with you, okay?" She laughed and agreed. Once the whole thing was over, I then had a lovely little meltdown.

ROFLOL. Leave it to me not even to see the surface explanation.

The guy’s very interesting. I think there was definitely supposed to be more than one way to take it, or else they just got lucky!

Ooh, now I feel bad Kelly! I only meant that unless you had just watched the movie, it was such an obscure reference that you would need some background explanation.

I took the quote to mean that if he had been the lead singer of The Fall and then had a fall on stage, that would be pathetically ironic. Very anti-punk.

‘Course I could be completely wrong — now you’ve got me thinking. I’ll have to go a bit deeper myself and look up Mark E. Smith!

Graham,

Well, I had to dig for a bit to discover Mark E. Smith, but now that I have, it’s not bad. Yep, I see where you’re stretching to…

Just finished watching “Control” about Ian Curtis and Joy Division. At one point in the movie, Curtis collapses on stage in an epileptic fit and has to be carried off. While he’s recovering in the green room, his manager says: “At least you’re not the lead singer in The Fall”.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but ultimately the sentiment is the same. If you’re interested in digging for it.

Brett,

And if you’re still moving gracefully, even better!

Not sure if there’s any major character in Shakespeare I’d want to take my cues from, LOL. But they sure did get to say some awesome stuff.

I hope you enjoyed some lovely festivities yesterday!

Macbeth said, "Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day." Of course, he got killed... but anyway... If you're still moving, that's a good thing. Brett Legree’s last blog post...seemingly random thoughts on a rainy tuesday evening.

Janice,

Papa is in the air. It’s the heat.

Love Hunter’s quote, too. Inspirational, in his peculiar way.

Wendi,

Agreed. Might as well get busy!

Regards,

Kelly
