Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I'm obligated to post in any thread that references the Butthole Surfers...even if it's not their best song.

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look
Through other people's eyes

Great song.

Excellent headline.

As of Monday morning, investigators were still trying to determine the circumstances under which a 13-year-old Fulton Junior High School was struck by a freight train and killed at the Lincoln Avenue railroad crossing in O'Fallon.

WTF? 13 YO junior high school struck? Train woulda lost that.
And Butthole Surfers are awesome. Pepper is my favorite song.

It is sad when schools die so young

Nice, I enjoyed the headline. It's pretty rare that I understand some obscure reference, so I guess today will be a good day

Alas, when will the puny humans ever learn that thousands of tons of steel kills you deader than raid.

If only skateboards were outlawed, this kind of thing wouldn't happen. Oh, and suicide. If only skateboards and suicide were outlawed, this wouldn't hapeen. And crossing railroad tracks. If only skateboards, suicide and choo-choo trains were outlawed, this wouldn't happen.

Sorry kid. You don't get the combo points if you get nailed by a train. Game over.

I was once able to mimic the spoken word in Lonesome Bulldog perfectly. Put many smiles on faces, for those who knew of it and those who did'nt. It's gone now, though. Thank you tobacco!

You need to outlaw junior high schools, too. That is apparently who was struck and killed.

I'm always amazed how many people end up getting hit by trains. I mean, you know exactly where that goddamn thing is going to be, and if you stay just a few inches outside that range you'll be perfectly safe. It's not like it's going to swerve and clip you.

In my hometown I used to live beside a set of tracks, and one night a woman was hit and killed directly behind our house, drunk from the bars on Main St. and running from her boyfriend, with whom she'd had an argument.

Another time, I was riding an Amtrak train from Pittsburgh that hit an old man's car at a crossing in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania (yes, really: Big Beaver). His little sedan came to rest about 100 feet past the crossing, and right beside the car where'd I'd been sitting, so I had a great view of the firemen and paramedics arriving to pry the poor bloody old fart out of the wreck.

Do you know how much of that collision I felt, riding in the train? Not one damn bit.

And the headline is outstanding. There are far worse songs to get stuck in your head. Bravo, subby.

 
isamudyson 2008-07-19 01:33:10 PM  
Nice headline, crappy song.

/It real is a bad song
//So is that song "The Distance" by Cake and anything by System of the Down.

Okay, that did it. Looks like a real decent kid. I can't comment on this anymore.......

Seriously? No one remembers the last greenlight? Kid invents 'Beat the Train' trick on skateboard. Someone else will have to perfect it though.

Or:

Sory jumped in front of a freight train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Not that I want to distract from Subby's awesome headline, Bravo.
