I really think we need a book club here at FO. I think it'll add to our serious legitimacy around the Internets. Because you know, when people think of serious legitimate websites, we are usually in the top three. Anyway, I think we need a book club. So I'm opening up nominations for the Very First First Offenders Book Club That Is Being Started With Good Intentions But Will Probably Dissolve Into Something Ridiculous. Rules of the VFFOBCTISBSWGIBWPDISR will be discussed at a later date. Like if/when we actually choose a book.
So let the nominations begin pouring in....or trickling...

BABES IN JOYLAND
I hadn't heard this song in awhile, but I heard it over the weekend and now its stuck in my head. I hope its now stuck in yours.
There's only one book it could possibly be: MOBY DICK.

Jesus, Shelby, I'm OK with your Babes in Joyland obsession, but Waterfall?
Goddamn I hate that song.
"Don't go chasing waterfalls." WTF does that mean? Waterfalls pretty much stay in one place and, therefore, are relatively easy to catch, negating the need for any chase-like activity.
This is just stupidity trying to sound profound. Stick to the rivers and lakes you're used to? WTF?
God, I hate this song.

Right now, I need everyone to drive to Terrenoire's house and blast Waterfalls. This should be fun.

No, Shelby. He's right. This song blows.

You both realize what I'm going to do with this, right? That I'm going to tell everyone I saw you two dancing together to this song and that you both hate it because it reminds you of each other now that you two aren't a couple anymore? You know that, right?

I can live with that.

I'm in a bookclub with several friends from work. Many people think this is an excuse for us to get together and drink wine.
Many people would be partially right. We do drink wine at book club, but we've never needed an excuse.
We also discuss the books. Sometimes the discussion lasts 15 minutes and the wine drinking and chatting about other stuff goes on for hours. Sometimes the discussion also goes on for hours.
We've read everything from romance, to biographies, to mysteries to memoirs. We're about to embark on the Time Traveler's Wife.
So, FO, when you start your bookclub, remember -- wine is required.

I bet Kate from Jon & Kate Plus 8 likes it, too. I bet she's singing it all the time now. Did you think about that?

I'd almost rather think about my parents having sex.
