Hmm. This seems to have been added to. It's a lot more interesting now
I wouldn't want to adopt the old Maori way-of-life (philosophy?), of warfare and cannibalism though.

Ah yes. The concept of the 'noble savage' again. :/

On another note, can anyone guess at what inspired the line I wrote under my location? Hint: it's from a song. Not the exact words, but the idea.

I noticed that yesterday. It's vaguely familiar

Birmingham, England. Okay, I'll give the line:

'She was a girl from Birmingham,...She was a case of insanity. Her name was Polly, she lived in a tree.'

Think punk rock.

On a side note, most people don't know the actual lyrics to this group's songs. I'm surprised that I learned them.

I can't think in that musical language.

But "think punk rock" sounds like "plim, plem, ploom". Very musical... the beat, the beat, the beat.

Or like a new type of scissor-paper-rock game, the three elements are Think, Punk, and Rock. Rock beats the thinker, punk covers the rock, and thought cuts up the punk into little pieces.

I'm not a discharge. I'm not a loss of protein.

Finally, someone figured it out lol! Very good, uwot! For some reason, very few people bother with their lyrics. Perhaps they're just 'pretty... pretty va-cant!'

Hehe. Their lyrics always get me laughing.
