Awwww nuts!

wiiiiiiiipeout?

It was stuck to the beat.

Yes, but I'm impatient and usually skip to the instrumental/synthesizer part at the end.

I also like Congratulations quite a bit, but I don't like any of their other stuff so maybe that makes sense?

V to the IZZAY.

"George Bush Intercontinental airport", I quietly corrected at the TV.

Okay, I have a theory about hipsters.
