I’m a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn,
and I’ll rip your heart in two.
And I’ll leave you lying on the bed
with your ass in the air.
~ W. Axl Rose

It’s funny, dearest reader, but that is almost a direct quote of what I said to my prom date when she opened the door when I picked her up for The Big Night.  So you can imagine my surprise when, years later, as the credits were rolling on the latest installment of the Terminator franchise, I heard my good friend Axl belting out the same words I’d used to make my prom date swoon so many years before.  It was weird, and my first instinct was to litigate viscously, but I decided against it.  That wouldn’t be cool.  Axl didn’t steal my words…he wasn’t even there on prom night.  I just chalked it up to great minds thinking alike and left it at that.  Because they do, goddammit…great minds do think alike.   Which brings us to the point, for whatever it’s worth, and that….
…it’s the phone…I gotta take this.  Remind me about the point tomorrow.
