ciroccojTrying to study, not getting much done. Good Lord Torts is boring. Especially when all you're doing is negligence. Yes, it's 90% of torts cases, but... :snore:
Listened to Jonny and Betty and once again got pissed off at The Advocate for their inane interview of Meryn Cadell years ago. The interviewer kept pressing her to admit that she was a lesbian, to no avail. So he finally got fed up and basically wrote a little review saying, Nice music, good lyrics, but the artist is not exactly the kind of role model the queer community needs - too deep in the closet.
Well, perhaps she didn't 'admit' to being a lesbian because (a) it was none of the interviewer's business and (b) she WASN'T. AFAIK, she's bi. Which I guess didn't enter the interviewer's imagination. Idiot.
Anyway. End rant.
JONNY AND BETTY
Jonny and Betty went to high school together
and Jonny and Betty went steady
because Jonny and Betty
knew that someday(not today)
they'd be ready to say
"forget all the lessons we learned, we're gay"
When the rings are going onto the fingers everywhere
Everybody asking these two if they’re gonna tie the knot
they nod shyly and say well maybe
and they smile wisely and say well maybe not.
Betty learned to sew her own dress
and Jonny was a champion at chess
Ordinary kids, you know, just plain folks,
(but keep the love stuff to yourself
and laugh at all of their jokes)
swimming with the tide until the tide goes out
swimming with the tide until
swimming with the tide until the tide goes out
swimming with the tide until
Well we know the world's not perfect and
the world’s not strong
so we know someone will suffer by the end of the song.
Someone will get bashed before the end of the verse,
the only question is who got bashed first
And it was Jonny, discovered in what they call Boytown
High school buddies out of nowhere grab him
and spin him around and then they hit him in the face
and laugh and kick him to the ground.
Jonny with a swollen face
and Betty’s puffed from crying
agreed there’s no going back;
being attacked is like dying.
And dying is like leaving, so they ran.
They didn’t take much, they took what they could carry.
They talked about the future and decided they should marry.
They should live their separate lives, but keep it quiet, keep it calm
keep their love to themselves and keep themselves away from harm.
swimming with the tide until the tide goes out
swimming with the tide until
swimming with the tide until the tide goes out
swimming with the tide until
And what a lovely day on the beach it will be
for our heroes Betty and Jonny
And all of their friends as the crowd swooshes out to sea
leaving all of the different ones
shininq and free.
OK, back to negligence.
The funniest thing about torts is the cases. If you made this stuff up, people would think you made it up ;) (hey, was that a Lennie-ism? Damn, Leslie would've chuckled over that one) And yet, they're real.
