What got into your cereal this morning??

Um... Nothing. I didn't eat any cereal.

I was watching the Super Friends on DVD, and I noticed that Robin never gets any lines, he only gets exclamations. He might say, for instance, "Holy Houdini, Batman! We're trapped in a cage!" But he never says anything unless it's preceded by the word holy. And I thought, who talks like that? And then it hit me, Allen Ginsberg does. Or he did, anyway, when he was writing his footnote to Howl.

Holy, Holy, Holy / Beautiful and mighty / God in three persons / Blessed Trinity.

Goddamn the music in my head. And you for getting it stuck in my conscious mind! :P

This isn't as life-changing as you'd led me to believe.

You probably wouldn't even get an NEA grant for it.

That's so very harsh.

Not even "The intruders is as holy as the multiple emergencies is holy!"?

Because that's my favorite line of this little experiment.
