Things you wish you could say

[MROO]

"Stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? There's something happening here, and what is is, is exactly clear. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, the man come and take you away."

Without looking online (meaning, you actually know this) what is the name of the song this quote is from?

(In the song, it's "what it is, ain't exactly clear" for sticklers.

One of the best, deepest pieces ever written - but it's "Stop, children, what's that sound?"

To be back on topic then, I'm particularly frustrated by the consistent selfishness, rudeness and laziness of society today. Why does common courtesy not exist anymore?? Why do 90% of people you see at the store not care about anything but themselves? Why does good work ethic consist of "i arrive on time"??!
This is ridiculous!!
Ahem. Rant over.

Hopefully I just redirected the slang one to it's own little corner of the site. You're on your own with the mashed potato one - C'mon, Sour, I'm sure you remember the dance!

Hey... I stopped and went on to chicks didnt I?

I wish I could say that my first thought didn't go straight for chicks in the mashed potatoes! It wasn't pretty ...

I know the song well, but never knew it had a dance! New dance moves acquired.

A double hijack has not taken place here.

Well, to finish off the hijack:

One time we visited another family. They were going to have the mashed potatoes that come in a box. Family size, no doubt.

We needed way more than two family sized boxes. We also spent the time we were supposed to make the potatoes laughing at the small size of box.

In the end, I wish I could say "family size" mashed potato boxes were a lot bigger.

To expand this to text messages, nobody wants to put the efofrt into using propr punctiation or spelling or andthing like that They leaf the mistakes atuocorrect makes in place and dont use proper capitazliation or anything like that.

I wish I could say people listened when I tried to get the thread back on topic, but... I guess that post got mashed.
