Ask Art Thieme to define "goddam song". :-)

Matt - the "O" word???

Dave - brilliant wedding suggestion...a major coughing fit is pretty cool for that too!

Here are some more ways to really annoy people:

1. Drive around town after a wedding in a long line of cars, all honking their bloody horns endlessly.

2. When above group of horn honkers passes, hold up a huge sign advertising the number of a cheap divorce service in case it doesn't work out!

3. Throw a pie in your chief executive's face as he mingles with the public, as was done recently to Canada's PM, Jean Chretien (WHO??? ask all the Americans...). This will actually annoy a few...and delight many, I can assure you.

4. Assert on ANY Mudcat thread that Nazis/Custer/Confederate soldiers/Communists/and/or/any-other-presently-hated-and-conveniently-demonized-group-of-people-from-any-particular-historical-episode...might actually sometimes have been human...despite their obvious errors in judgement or moral conduct.

5. Have the outright temerity and nerve to be yourself at all times, even if people don't get it.

6. Apologize when they would rather you didn't, cos it's more fun for them to stay good and mad at you.

7. Or don't...either way works great.

8. Be Bernard. :-)

Oh...and Dylan didn't steal tunes, he simply improved upon them, IMNSHO. :-D
