I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.

Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.

Teddy, Vern, Chris: I don't shut up. I grow up. And when I look at you, I throw up. Aghhh! Gordie: And then your mom goes around the corner and she licks it up.

What Darwin was too polite to say, my friends, is that we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest, or even the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous motherfuckers in the jungle.
