Mummy, I woke today and there was a Lincoln Log in me sock drawer! ... That's the story of Jesus.
Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, Mister.
I've had good times on drugs...bad times on drugs...But I've had good and bad relationships...and I'm not giving up pussy.
I'm just skin covering coffee and some real nervous teeth.
I'd...bet enthusiasm for 'ethnic cleansing' will wane if only sticks and rocks are available for the warring parties.
Ever noticed that people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved?
We're supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?
I saw...a kid on a leash. You seen these people? Kid on a leash? How horrible. Put him in the pound where he belongs.
I go to dance clubs...about once a year just to justify the other 364 days I spend in my apartment going 'God, what idiots!'
I don't identify with anyone historically, but there are several people in the future who I am a dead ringer for.
I've had seven balls of light come off a UFO...explain to me telepathically we are all one and there's no such thing as death.
I'll smoke, I'll cough, I'll get the tumors, I'll die, deal? Thank you America. [salutes]
People always snap and think they're Jesus. How come no one ever snaps and thinks they're Buddha?
It's you people dying from nothing that are screwed. I got all sorts of neat gadgets waiting for me...oxygen tent, iron lung.
