What kind of a world is it
When I have to hear "Sweet Child O' Mine" at this hour on this day?

Parenthetically--to my utter horror, I heard a cover of that song that was actually more wretched than the original. I wouldn't previously have believed such a thing possible.

2. I don't believe that you're sorry
You're enjoying my anguish--admit it!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Maybe a quick jaunt around the building will soothe my Axl-addled ears.

6. Clearly, I'm much more compassionate than you
For example, I'd hate to look into your eyes and see an ounce of pain.

22. Okay, now it's personal
My cubemate sits through (and, I daresay, enjoys) almost any crap that his radio vomits forth, as long as it is offensive to the discerning ear. Guns-n-Roses, Donny Iris, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent--it's all good, to him. The louder and shittier the better.

But Young Americans just came on, and he turned the radio off with an audible gasp of disgust! This is the man who'll sit through endless repetition of "Slow Ride," but he can't stomach five minutes of David Bowie?!?!?

:wtf:
