"The story of this song starts out in Nebraska. I had a farm, a cow, a penguin and a Negro slave."

(Jennifer Jones - Wild Man Fischer)

I am the king of Boggle, there is none higher

"I thought that if you had
An acoustic guitar
Then it meant that you were
A Protest Singer
Oh, I can smile about it now
But at the time it was terrible."

The Smiths - Shakespeare's Sister

"Is your child hyperactive, or is he perhaps a tw*t?"

Half Man Half Biscuit

Or by the Biscuit also..

"If Jesus came to Earth today
They'd crucify hin straightaway
Upon a cross of MDF
And they'd use No Need for Nails"

"Excuse me Mrs Meddlicott, I haven't got a clue. I've only got three bullets, and there's four in Motley Crue"
