“That? Totally possible. Let’s figure it out.”

guy ends argument by running up onto a cafeteria table, jumping off and smacking the other guy mid-flight. IN A SUIT.

I totally get this ’05 rant from Shirley Manson: “I want to thank you for being here instead of at a fucking Jessica Simpson show. Now, I may not be as young or cute, but I am a lot smarter, and I guarantee you, I’m a much better shag. … when you go home and you get on the computer and you have the chance to download whatever the fuck you want, instead of rotting your brains, look up a Patti Smith record, or The Pretenders, or a Blondie record”

I kinda like this song Christina Aguilera did with Le Tigre & Peaches: “guitar picks in their purses, Louboutin on their feet”

(I’ll always spare a listen for a track with Kathleen Hanna in the writing credits!)
