Both rengu, so I
Want to, too!

I am in
My English class as
I write this.

How boring.
I can't wait to get
Home and post.

Not that I
Don't like this class but...
I hate it!

Gah. This is
Beyond mind numbing
Help! Save me!

I give up.
I'm going to nap.
Whatever

Later...

I am back!
Did you miss me lots?
I thought so.

Oops. I suck.
That'll be the same post.
Nevermind.

Damn classes
Three hours - What was
I thinking?

We're trying
To discuss morals.
What the hell...?

This sucks. It's
Philosophy, not
English class

I'm so bored.
Who cares about this?
This sucks dick.

Oh thank god.
We're almost done now.
Gotta go!

THE END

The following are Duran Rengu (Dur-rengu) and will only make sense if you were alive during the 80's and watched lots of videos and 'rockumentaries'. And, oh, only if you know anything about Duran Duran. You're practically REQUIRED to be over age 27-28 for these, I think. Trust me, though, they're hilarious if you know the "in jokes." Er, I think.

Shanghai Noon
had that cowboy song
by Kid Rock.

I agree,
Jackie Chan's a god.
I *heart* him.


Kid Rock sucks.
Could not flee "Cowboy"
fast enough.


"Shanghai Noon":
chop-socky goes West.
Bad pun, though.


Holiday:
Peaceful, quiet day.
Made dub tapes.


"Ballroom Blitz"
Reminds me of skates
and summer.


Rarity:
"Best of the Beatles":
it's Pete Best.


Would be fab
(and worth big bucks) if
not damaged.


The Buzzcocks.
"What do I get?" rocks.
I miss them.


Better than
that Kid Rock shite if
you ask me.
