I can remember seeing a piccie of Philthy Phil Taylor (ex drummer for Motorhead, yes, I'm basically a headbanger (not necessarily mine, be warned... ;) )) proudly displaying a T-shirt with almost this slogan ("Whale Oil Beef Hooker").

Penny puts it in the mouth of one Billy Williams. I recommend "How The Light Gets In," quoted by permission from Leonard Cohen. |
