Yesterday, I was walking around the institute of higher education which employs and now sort of educates me, feeling pretty bummed out about the state of the world. Then, I noticed something that picked up my spirits a bit.
As I entered my classroom, I noticed that on the sign outside the door, someone had removed the C and the L, so it just read "assroom." I'm not going to lie - it made me chuckle. There might have even been a chortle involved.
Later in the day, I was running at the gym and noticed someone had done a similar yet more imaginative job on the letters of the "Electrical Room," turning it into "Electric Poo." Game, set and match. Well played, kids. Well played.
One more quick one before the weekend: if you read the front page of this site (and have seen Keith's brilliant photoshop job), you already know that Scamper is playing a Beatles tribute night on July 27 at the Abbey Lounge in Somerville. As such, we have been (wackily enough) playing a lot of Beatles songs lately.
You know how sometimes you have the wrong lyrics in your head for a song and no matter how hard you try, you just can't get them out? Here are the actual lyrics to the Beatles "If I Fell":
Cause I've been in love before
And I know that love is more
Than just holding hands
Unfortunately, I can't stop singing:
Cause I've been in love before
And I know that love is more
Than just a one-night stand
Do I really think the Beatles were singing about one night stands in 1963? What the fuck is wrong with me?

Well, take a good hard look at the lyrics to "Please Please Me." These guys were scumbags.
Looks like you're going to school with my kind of people. I've been wanting to take the letter B off of Keith's new Bassman for a while now.
Heh. Assman.
i still crack up everytime a see a "road work ahead" sign that has the "work" and "a" of ahead spray painted out
(road head..get it?)
Dude, I'm glad I'm back from Ireland finally so I can weigh in:
I think you're un- (sub-?) conciously thinking of the lyrics to the Van Halen song Jamie's Cryin', which go:
cuz Jamie's been in love before
and she knows what love is for
and she needs a little more
than one-night stands!

Pedro, once again - you are a genius.
I think you're absolutely right.
