Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I know, the two self-searches are a bit much, but JimRob said he was working on it

Puddle of Mudd is a rock band, i prefer to call them mudd puddles. they have a song called CONTROL that has an S&M theme to it, and it was therefore noteworthy to hear that one of them was arrested for abuse...

It DOES NOT have an S&M subtheme to it...sheesh.

A litlle...exuberant playfulness, falls well outside the Spectrum of S&M.....Now I can see why YOU kept the Album.

malaperv.

Thanks, hobbes. But how cool can the band be if they're beating up their girlfriends? Or as Robt. would say if he were here:

You mean xessexesmommie won't let the boy keep his Pudd Muddle CD? In other words, she pulled his Pudd?

"...JimRob said he was working on it..."

I suppose this means I better stop slapping him, huh?

i can sometimes telepathically summon CJ, but seems like if he is too far up someone that interferes with the brainwaves and i can't get through to him.

I feel the pain you place inside
Lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
And then your secrets never show.

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel this wasn't even

I love the way you break my skin
I feel the hatred placed inside
I need to get your voice outta my head
Cause I'm that guy you never find
I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

Chorus
you and me

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

Chorus:
you and me

You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no

Maybe the cold in Montana these days is blocking brainwaves. I wouldn't know because brainwaves are things I have as little to do with as possible.
