Trendsetters? I thought it said "demonseed".

The subject above was muttered by my mother while I was driving through downtown.

Other gems of conversation:
Her: Dan and I were in love in High School. He was crazy about me, but for some reason he broke up with me, perhaps to find out if I would beg for him to come back. I didn't. When I saw him years later, he seemed so frantic to see me, and was almost suffering over what might have been. We were reincarnated from Abelard and Heloise.

*Pause*
Us: Bwahahahahaha!
Me: Which one of you was castrated in a past life?
Her: I hope it was him.

And later:

Her: Oop. I don't think I can drive, I can't talk right.
Me: It's a good thing you don't have to drive with your lips.

Haven't you heard: driving with ones lips is all the rage.



I Vecchii -

THEY will come no more,

The old men with beautiful manners. -

Il etait comme un tout petit garcon

With his blouse full of apples

And sticking out all the way round;

Blagueur! "Con gli occhi onesti e tardi," -

And he said:

"Oh! Abelard!" as if the topic

Were much too abstruse for his comprehension,

And he talked about "the Great Mary,"

And said: "Mr. Pound is shocked at my levity."

When it turned out he meant Mrs. Ward. -

And the other was rather like my bust by Gaudier,

Or like a real Texas colonel,

He said: "Why flay dead horses?

"There was once a man called Voltaire." -

And he said they used to cheer Verdi.

In Rome, after the opera,

And the guards couldn't stop them, -

And that was an anagram for V ittorio

E manuele R e D ' I talia,

And the guards couldn't stop them. -

Old men with beautiful manners,

Sitting in the Row of a morning;

Walking on the Chelsea Embankment. -
