Lame Quotes - Page 8

• I know the game, it's old and lame:
  You're holdin' a flame for my name and my fame.
  Livin' like Givens schemin' on Tyson,
  But she got lucky 'cause he was a nice one.
  But I ain't nice and I don't play that,
  If it ain't tax, I don't pay that.

• When I was in seventh grade, I was caught stealing money from the visiting team's locker room during a basketball game. So I was sent to The Brothers. That's what they called this parochial school up in Goshen, New York. I was supposed to get closer supervision there and more "masculine influence," whatever that means. But I was thrown out for telling a couple of really lame kids on the playground that I had heroin.

• There's nothing inherently lame about electricity. I've got a basement full of power tools that all operate with electricity, and they're manly items. And when you see a great big locomotive hauling a mile of freight cars, that's a hybrid. A lot of people don't understand that.

• I was never really satisfied with writing only text or with the way my texts looked when they were published. Most online journals have a pretty lame sense of typography - bad font, counter-intuitive margins and line spacing - that it makes me sour on my writing.
