Heil Holly!!

This title is of no consequence, at least to this post so please disregard if it isn't immediately amusing, that just means you weren't there.

Right then. There is a candy store near where I work and I walked past it today. Nothing unusual, for sure, but something caught me off gaurd. As I strolled past I couldn't help but take note of the peculiar musical choice that blarred from this house of sweet confections. Yes, none other than "Highway to Hell" by our good friends that are ACDC. The scene was made complete by a very small boy devouring a candied apple nearly the size of his face. I wouldn't doubt that the intense cadance of the song was driving this little man's appearent craving for sugar coated fruit; the apple really never stood a chance. An oddity nevertheless.

For those among you not familiar with the song here are the lyrics to give you an idea of this kid's potential future. Possibly very bleak, definitely very funny:

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down

I'm on the highway to hell

Since when did the promised land become Hell? I think I missed that chapter in Exodus.....?

I'm glad our blog could be of service to you Ms. Miriam Anne.

This'll be a bit long but I have something funny to tell you. I was doing windows at work, like redressing the manicans (sp?) and stuff and there were some people out front watching me. I looked out, smiled and then stood up a bit too fast. I suppose it wouldn't have been too fast if there hadn't been a very large bar right above my head that I smacked. Really SMACKED. The group outside tried not to laugh but who could blame them honestly.

I think the bar felt it too... poor me :(

You know Satanist believe that Satan and the other 3 guardians of hell are actually going to win the war agaist heaven . . . maybe that has something to do with the promise land?

that could be it I suppose, but I can't say I'm familiar with the religious persuasion of the members of ACDC.

Who are the other 3 guardians?

LOL thats funny you want to know you sicko!

Satan,Lucifer,Leviathin and Bael.

Lucifer was Satan's name before he fell from grace, his angel name if you will so yes it would be the same person.

Aren't you suppose to be in church, you certainly can't say you had something else to do this time. LAMER!

Whenever I delete comments it calls me a blog administrator, it sounds almost important. I wonder what would happen if I put that on a job application. Any Thoughts?

Oh no, I'm pretty sure my head hurt more. Like I said I SMACKED that bar! Besides, what pride? I've fallen down too many flights of stairs in foreign countries and run into too many extremely large and noticable tree to indulge the idea of maintaining even a miniscule amount of this pride that you speak of.

And the joke was only for you Mary :) I <3 U 2 :)

Making out with trees? Does the name "Mary Catherine Gallegar (sp)" come to anyone elses mind when you think of tree fornication? Can you say "SUPERSTAR!" ? Wow, you were really a courious little monkey, weren't you? Hey, sorry to hear about the head smack. If it makes you feel any better, I once stood up on my bed without realizing that my ceiling fan was on high. Needless to say, in less then a split second, I felt a very intense BOIOIOIOING on my forehead, and everything went black for a couple of minutes. It really does explain a lot with me though.

Ooh, OUCH! you have a far better story than mine, though I can't hesitate to say that my incident with a tree left me the star of rousing game of capture the flag. If I could go back I wouldn't even if I was missing a considerable amount of skin for a considerable amount of time....

I maintain that you slammed your own head into the ground. After all who tackled WHOM Miss Solomon?!? The force that you applied to my body was responsible for your cranium's unfortunate rendez-vous with earth, I apologize for my inability to defy the laws of physics!

Je t'aime beaucoup aussi! <3
