I don't mind chiming in on this one since thanks to the "Mushy OT" warning it will be easy enough for those who don't want to continue this thread to zip by it ... Just returned from a two-week road trip to the midwest, which included 1900 driving miles, about 600 of which were with the 8-year-old FruPrincess Dana. We had a few new driving tapes to listen to (thanks to a certain non-NG Fruhead who may peek on the board one of these days, especially since he's probably got nothing much else to do with his girlfriend on the road on a long FruTrip but I'll leave it at that) ... one was a BNL mixtape, mostly old stuff, because to be honest I can't stomach "One Week" or that other single and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about. So I DO like this tape quite a bit but I think Dana summed it up -- "They're kinda like Moxy Fruvous but a lot more famous and not as good." She liked the TMBG mixtape he made us much better ... especially "Doctor Worm," "We Want a Rock" and "Don't Start" (she liked the line about "you're my precious little girl" and I didn't have the heart to tel her that I thought it was being said that she WASN'T his precious little girl). But I digress, as I tend to do too often ... I wanted to add (and if you've gotten this far, you're quite amazing) that Dana, too, is part of the "I've got a crush on Jian" crew except that she won't admit it's a crush because she refuses to have crushes, too uncool. Instead, every guy she sees with a pony tail or long wavy hair looks just like Jian and she must point it out to everyone within earshot. And she also knows while listening to the Moxy mixtape (which she insisted go on for the rest of the ride) which songs are "Jian" songs. Whew. Done. I'll shut up now and get another cup of coffee (French Market, not Starbucks). Way too blabby Queen Lisa. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jul 1999 15:16:11 GMT From: SpainLB@aol.com Subject: Re: Mushy OT!!!!!
