Cincinnati

Jerry Springer knows how to handle a bunch of hicks and ghetto divas. He does it on his talk show, but he attained this skill elsewhere: JERRY SPRINGER USED TO BE THIS CITY'S MAYOR.

If that's not enough, this is also the home of Marge Schott, Pete Rose, Nick Lachey, Article 12 (anti-gay legislation), and the April 2001 race riots.

Go Bengals!

The only way to live in Cincinnati is to convince yourself that the situation is temporary.

Oasis

NOT the Beatles.

Did some fine things back in the '90's, though. "Cast No Shadow" is pretty good.

"And by the way, could we stop with the Hussein-Hitler analogies? Saddam Hussein is Hitler like Oasis was the Beatles. Everyone rushes into a comparison with the giants in the industry, be it pure evil or the music business - not that those are two different things." -- Bill Maher

merde

French for "shit". Suitable for describing just about everything in my life right now.

Rimbaud once scrawled "Merde a Dieu!" (shit on God) as graffiti in Paris.

castrati

The plural of castrato.

Not to be confused with bishi, though they look exactly the same.

Am I the only one who thinks that all thin, long-limbed, and androgenous anime boys look like castrati?
