for a long time my copy of paul's boutique (the best album from the 80s) had some nasty scratches on it, such that track 11 was unplayable. in 2000, when i got a job, i bought a new copy. but when i listen to it now, i can still hear the skipping in my head.

colder than a polar bear's toenails
new phone books were delivered saturday. sunday was the Great Thaw of 2004:
Joe: the water in the kitchen works!
Me: quick! run the dishwasher before the sun sets!
it's actually hot in my room today. i went to tell joe, and now he won't leave.

these pickles you're offering only sweeten the deal
i'm not making this up:
i got some pickles at the store. i think i ate about 6 spears before i noticed that the serving size is "about 3/4 spear".
