A Sunday Morning Comin’ Down Special


Tim, Davey, George and Chris

Hey, Hey We're the Manques

3..2..1...
Here we come,
Shlockin' up yer tubes.
Dirty Hippies all hate us
So we pitch to the rubes.

Hey, hey, we're the Manques
And people say we dumb it all down.
We're all too busy poo flinging
To ever get out of Georgetown.

...

It's a helluva racket,
This opining really badly for pay,
We're the Kings of Pundit Nation,
With absolutely nothing to say.

...

Hey, hey, we're the Manques,
The Apocalypse's smirking emcees
so you'd better get ready,
We're gonna get you through your teevees.

Shakespeare said, "the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".

Had TV pundits existed in Big Bill's time, he might have changed that list of priorities.

It's such a circle jerk. If not for bloggers do they even have an audience?

Seriously. How do the dildi look in the mirror and not bitch-slap themselves?

Nothing touches this metaphor, DG, you are sooooo erudite.

Drifty, as always, the enjoyment of learning a new word here at your place is overwhelmed by the meaning of that new word. You are the wizard of the word wonks!

Suzan, your post on Monsanto is terrifying.

I still say it's a wonderful country where you can make five million bucks a year for being a jackass.

While licking coffee spew off my monitor, I -- verbose word monger -- am Manque of Words.

Thank you, Driftglass. (Just had an acid flashback to them Manufactured Boy Band late sixties.)

--Ivory Bill,
I agree with you sentiment, but not your target. Shakespeare held the lawyers in much higher esteem than the Broder Manques.

Ivory Bill Woodpecker said...

Yeah, yeah, I know, CL. My mom's a retired legal secretary, and she'd always remind me what the Bard really meant every time I quoted that, yadda yadda...

Waitaminnit...

Mom? Is that you? :D

The Monkeys were the coolest of the "manufactured boy bands of the 60's"however.I remember it well,which I suppose proves conclusively that I wasn't really there.Anyhoo...inspired stuff."flinging poo" resonates quite nicely.
