Lunchtime Poll: Train of Thought

October 22, 2012 [E] Liza 3 comments

I was on the train this morning, and I had a thought. Because the train left the station at 7:39 a.m., I was sleep deprived, so it fell somewhere between “Why do I do this to myself” and “Ronkonkoma is fun to say” in my brain.

What was I thinking? That Refreshments song “Banditos” wouldn’t be written the same way today, in the post-9/11 world. See, you need more than an ID card to get across the border, and chances are the border guard is a scary American agent who actually does speak English and would realize that a passport naming you Jean-Luc Picard of the United Federation of Planets was probably a fake document.

I know I’m not the only one who has random thoughts like this (if I were, Twitter would be much less successful), so tell me, what was the last oddity that popped into your head?

I love the Refreshments. So funny, inappropriate but funny. You are right about the song not working in todays world.

Shit, I had a really good one lately and I've been trying to remember what it was all damn day so I could tell you about it. It was fucking funny!

Probably something in between clots of hair and Britney Spears, during cleaning.

Moretta: I loved this so much. It was beautiful, layered, suspenseful and sexy.
Nicolette B: Oh jeebus. I'm on episode 15 right now. Looks like my entire Sunday will be devoted to Supernatural. Which I'm so ok with.
[M] freckle: Like you, I never read a Coelho. I have had The Alchemist on my list for a long time but I'm not really ..motivated to get into the world of Coelho. I guess I need to find one of his books with a summary that speaks to me.
[M] freckle: A couple of years ago I started trying on clothes I liked but thought 'weren't for me'. Or clothes I wrinkled my nose at, but thought that it's never bad to extend your view. It didn't bring much change to my wardrobe (except for colour and heels. Oh, heels) but it feels like I have more freedom of choice in every shop. What most annoys me about this subject is that society wants "Everyone" to look original and amazing but please fit in and don't fall outside its known categories, please. I mean I understand when an Elf walks past you, you giggle, but someone wearing a black bowler hat (and not being a blonde tiny hipster lady) needs to be goggled like they grew a pair of horns?
veruna: It's been awhile for me too, but I've just been really into the random spy books I've picked up recently. Do you mean Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books? Cause I loved those. They're completely diverting!
