You really tripped out my Google Reader. I was like, Whoa, Moose is leaving coded messages for Google Reader nerds. This is amazing.

And then I get to your blog and it’s about about how you could be in the FBI and I got to thinking that maybe you really are. I mean, you’re probably like, I’m so not in the FBI, but that’s just to put us off the trail…

Well my world just crumbled a bit–Pat Benatar didn’t sing that song? No wonder I couldn’t find it in the karaoke song-choice book. Phooey.

Schnozz: I don’t think I can ever use capital letters again. In fact, I rewrote at least five sentences in this post, just to dispense with excess capital letters. Because that My Space profile SCARED ME SO. (Oops.)

Nora: I also got her confused with whoever sings the “Shooting at the walls of heartache, bang bang! I am the warrior!” The ’80s are a bit of a blur. Too many hallucinogens. When I was eight.

C&C: I like to assume everyone is French. Keeps my life interesting.

Prince: I had this discussion with myself before I published this post. I said, “Self, What would you do if Pat Benatar was the culprit every night? And you single-handedly destroyed the mystery? HOW WOULD YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF?” And then I figured you all were clever enough to change it up. So the case of the creamy foam remains both creamy and foamy. Yes.

Peter Varvel: itunes only had the Britney version of “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” for the longest time. I was about to write a letter. But then they got their collective heads out of their collective arses, and put up Joan Jett as well. CLOSE CALL, ITUNES.

I would totally go with you, you know, if I actually lived in San Francisco, because I would be no threat (and no help) at all, being that I am horrible at music trivia of any kind. Chris wouldn’t be allowed to come, because he knows everything about everything. Unless he was hiding in the corner, throwing the answers to us on balled up gum wrappers. That might work.

Ha ha ha! Was she Canadian? Hmmm.

Hey. At least you didn’t confuse the recording of “I Love Rock’n'roll” with Britney, instead. That would have been waaay more embarrassing!

Don’t you wish it were the same murderer every night? That way, you can win before the show even starts. But, alas, we are much too smart. You remain on the same level playing field as all those other Juno fangirls. BEG FOR IT!

The thought that Pat Benatar might be Canadian never even crossed my mind. I just assume everyone is American until proven guilty.

And that mentality, my friend, is why the rest of the world hates us. And I’m a travel writer, so you’d think I know better…

I am sorry for your loss (of the t-shirt).

No, Pat Benetar is not Canadian, but Lee Aaron is. Remember her? No? I don’t blame you.

Hit me with your best shot, why don’t you hit me with your best shot…fire away!

You know, I saw her rock out at Shoreline one summer. Pretty fun. Boy George just played Margate a couple weeks ago. We were going to go for the amusement factor, until we found out tickets were 25 GBP each. That made us laugh quite enough.

Oh God. That recitation was so profoundly terrifying. I mean, on one hand, I want to laugh and laugh. On the other hand, I really, really want to move to Montana so that I can be a hermit. (A hermit who won’t scare people with her pale skin in the dark.)
