What do you think of Oedipus Rex?
He thinks we talk behind his back when he is asleep. I say, if he already thinks so, let's do it :evilgrin:

12. Anyone who's a cat person
Can't be ALL bad...

And sometimes it's good to be a little bad...

9. I've talked to him on AIM. He eats steel.
And his right arm is made out of aspargus.

And when he sneezes the moon reverses orbit.

11. Now it's all starting to come together
The part about eating steel might explain the silver-tongue...

I like asparagus.

18. I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus, than end-up like ol' Oedipus Rex!
From the Bible to the popular song,
There's one theme that we find right along;
Of all ideals they hail as good,
The most sublime is... motherhood.

There was a man though, who it seems,
Once carried this ideal to extremes.
He loved his mother and she loved him,
And yet his story is rather grim.

There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex,
You may have heard about his odd complex.
His name appears in Freud's index
'Cause he loved his mother.

His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was most unfit.
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother.

Yes, he loved his mother like no other,
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother.
One thing on which you can depend is,
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is.

When he found what he had done,
He tore his eyes out, one by one.
A tragic end to a loyal son
Who loved his mother.

So be sweet and kind to mother,
Now and then have a chat.
Buy her candy or some flowers,
Or a brand new hat.
But maybe you had better let it go at that.

Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex
And you may end up like Oedipus.
I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus
Than end up like old Oedipus Rex.

--Tom Lehrer

22. He's spiffy!
Edited on Mon May-15-06 04:20 PM by WritingIsMyReligion
:D

One of my first PMs ever was from him:

You're in Ninth Freaking Grade??
From: Oeditpus Rex
Date: Oct-07-05 11:04 PM
I suddenly feel very, very old...


And a day or two later....

I wish there were more young'uns like you. Lots more. Billions.

I shall henceforth affectionately refer to you as "kid," accompanied by a playful, Lou Grant-like graze of your jaw.


He was the first person to acknowledge my age... :evilgrin:

:loveya:

:hi:

23. Not bad for a Dodger fan.
But he is deluded to his predictions of LA winning the NL West.

Go Padres!!!

I would never talk behind the back of a fellow Yankee fan. No way!

He's awfully cute.
He loves baseball.
He loves cats.
He's funny.
He's a bit naughty.
He's smart.
He's kind.
And most of all, he's one of my bestest DU friends!
