I Can't Kill Myself

A term Nigerians often use to justify their tiredness or hesitance to do more than they have already done. A phrase that has become a handy excuse for lazy people.

The phrase however, is the first portion of the refrain in a famous song by Timaya with the same name. The song insidiously grows on you, crawls into your ears and lays musical eggs in your brain.

Amaka: Seyi, will you attend tomorrow's meeting?
Seyi: No, i won't. I can't kill myself.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose!

A FANTASTIC show on Fox in the early '90's. Basically an anti-90210. Came on right after the Simpsons so most cable broadcasters did not have Fox yet. It will never be on DVD due to all the music rights from different companies. Sad. If you like the cut scenes from "Scrubs", You will LOVE this show.

"Dude, did you see "Parker Lewis Can't Lose!" last night?"
"No, I don't have Fox yet. I watched 'Eerie, Indiana'."
