A line from Troy Dyer

There's no point to any of this. It's just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moments where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I, I sit back and smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt

So what do you say, Lelaina?

I'm not a valedictorian but I play one on tv.

We all know you slept your way to the podium.

Well, I know this sounds cornball but I'd like to somehow make a difference in people's lives.

And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.

Quick, Vicky, whats your social security?

Vicky

Uhm... 851-25-9357.

Very impressive.

Vicky

Well, should I get married, should I be good, should I astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and my faustushood and not take her to movies but to cemeteries and tell her stories of werewolf tongues and forked clarinets... What 'Hey, That's My Bike' would like to do as a band is travel the countryside like Woody Guthrie.

Or Richard Simmons. You know, how in his commercials he surprises people jogging...

As you can see, I have the occasional run-in with an anti-Hey-That's-My Biker and to those people I say nobody... nobody can eat 50 eggs.
