I think there might have been a couple of hip-hop tracks that mention New York too - can anyone think of any?

-- Tico Tico (ticoticoil...), January 20th, 2004.

CONTEXT!

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR: Do you have anything to declare?

WILDE: I have nothing to declare but my genius!

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR: This genius you speak of… is it the evil sort that tyrannical dictators possess?

WILDE (amused): The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future.

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR: Imprisonment with hard labour for you, Mr Smartass. Take ’im away, boys!

WILDE: Ugh… not again.

-- Charles Hatcher (musenhedd...), January 21st, 2004 10:35 AM.

i think that there's a lesson here for aspiring comedians... if your joke "bombs" the first time, telling it twice more isn't going to salvage it.
-- gygax! (gygax0...), January 21st, 2004 1:04 PM. (gygax!)

She probably expected that her joke would inevitably lead to a long chase involving a woman in a bikini and a man in a gorilla suit or whatever passes for humor in Britain.

Cuz his dick was stuck in the chicken's sock?
-- nickalicious (nza2342...), January 21st, 2004.

Same thread. For the record, I think Charles Hatcher is the name Momus uses when he has no facts to back up his outlandish comments.

In all its glory.

--El Diablo Robotico (nicolew1...),January 21st,2004

I didn't even noticed I typed almost the exact same thing nickalicious typed, the picture must have cause (further) brain damage.
