"Oh, I'm not concerned about leaving her alone. In case of an emergency or something, she's got her vibrator. *pause* I mean her pager. PAGER! So I can get in touch with her! It's just set on vibrate! ...Oh goodness, I'll bet that sounded bad."

"I hope he doesn't break his pelvis."
--Girl smushed up next to us at BFD 7, talking about either her friend moshing, or Scott Weiland (of STP) dancing.
I must admit, the guy had some of the oddest, most contortionistic, and strangely attractive dance moves I've ever seen. Kind of like someone belly dancing on a high wire.

"You know, there's something about being here in front of... twenty-two THOUSAND people... that makes me want to masturbate on stage right now. But I think there are some reasons I shouldn't do that, and so instead I'd appreciate it if you'd permit me a moment of self-indulgence... in the form of a 45 second guitar solo."

"Pardon me, while I jerk off."
--Moby, on stage presence, at Live105's BFD 7 concert.
"Man... if he had like, beat it off on stage... then we'd 've seen... Moby's Dick."
--Guy standing next to me
"Shut up. Just shut up."

"Ohmigod, that would be SOOOO cool! Like a modernized Clueless!"
--A chattery teenage girl, on what it would be like to have a computer help you pick out matching lipgloss.
Clueless came out just four years ago. Four! That's not exactly pre-modern, is it?
I feel so old.

"Oh come on, surely you have... er, if I asked you for roast beef and toe-MAY-toes, would that settle the matter?"

When in Rome... order your sandwiches in Roman if the deli clerks look dim.
