“This is my stop!<\/p>\n
Got to get off!<\/p>\n
I may go pop!<\/p>\n
Excuse me…excuse me!<\/p>\n
I’ve got to beee dirrrrect!<\/p>\n
If I’m wrong, please correct!<\/p>\n
You’re standing on my neck!”<\/p>\n

Anyway, so in another case of awesome begetting more awesome, my baby brother Macauley\/Bill gave me the DVD collection for sketch comedy troupe The State as an Xmas gift last year and I finished the set the week before Gene and I went to Las Vegas. Fortunately, the previews at the start of one of the DVDs included an ad for the DVD collection for the equally awesome show Daria<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Sidebar: Thank you Almighty D for the awesome birthday gift).<\/p>\n (Have I said “awesome” enough?)<\/p>\n Daria was on MTV in the 1990s and I feel pretty sure that the freaking awesome main character, Daria Morgendorffer, was me. She was sarcastic, funny and smart. Unlike me she didn’t spend all night on the internet talking to boys, but I assume that was artistic license. I have watched the first of the DVDs already and it feels like coming home. I also am concerned that this means that high school really was the best time of my life, but that has been a sneaking suspicion for awhile. Who knows, maybe my 70s will be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sing it with me! “This is my stop! Got to get off! I may go pop! Excuse me…excuse me!
