    I have a feeling I will be hearing this at the prom next year when I chaperone....

    Honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. Harry Nilsson expressed pretty much the same sentiments and exactly the same words about 30 years ago. Just didn't have YouTube around to popularize it -- although I guess he does now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeEYQOy4oQ4)

    Meanwhile, I've about had it with the Times' prissiness, particularly on the best-seller list. The name of the book is "Shit My Dad Says," not "___ My Dad Says." Either print the real title, or write an editor's note explaining why you're too big a wimp to print the real title. But don't pretend that the real title has a big f--ing blank at the beginning.
