Waxing pragmatic

One of my favorite Liz Phair songs, “Shitloads of Money,” contains the following line:

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.

Now, if I may alter that slightly to reflect my own (current) views… hence:

It’s nice to do cool stuff, but it’s better by far to get paid.

And now, to completely butcher it beyond recognition…

It’s nice to do cool stuff, but it’s better by far to get paid to do cool stuff.

That’s the ideal scenario, anyway.

Apologies to Liz Phair.

    My favorite Liz Phair line is, I think, from whipsmart(?):

    I’ll fuck you till your dick is blue.

    for the record, blockquote is the worst tag ever. EVER! (but I still love it and overuse it!)

    Nope, Duane, that line is from the song “Flower” on Exile in Guyville - and yeah, it’s a winner. To whit:

    Everything you ever wanted

    Everything you ever thought of

    Is everything I’ll do to you

    (…and this is where we come ’round to your quote) I’ll fuck you til your dick is blue

    And what the hell do you have against blockquote?

    Damn, I thought this post was going to be about waxing.

    Sorry to disappoint. I don’t really have a lot to say about waxing.

    Ah, it is tough love; It is like the LONGEST tag known to me. I just wish it were < bq> or something quicker to type; since I use it like every day.
