this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

but tonight thank god it's them, instead of you...

My favourite line of that song. Bono's delivery really stands out after the Paul Youngs/Boy Georges/George Michaels of the world.

I remember staying up late (hey, I was in grade school -- possibly 7th grade at the most) to watch the premiere of the video, and WRITING IN MY DIARY how excited I was to see it. Trufax. I might even still have that diary somewhere (IIRC, it was a Hello Kitty diary). I should look for it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, Bono lets it fly.

Back from volunteering in Matilda's class.

I failed to properly cut the construction paper in half. Which got me the same look from the teacher that Jacqueline's doctor gave when I failed to count properly to ten.

Also, apparently I was helping Elliott a little too much on figuring out his pattern since I was told, "Why don't you help Elliott by standing back over here..."

But they were all freakin' cute, and I got to chat with a lot of them, and Isabella asked why I talk so fast, and I successfully copied field trip forms and helped make snowmen out of socks.

Also, Matilda was doing okay and I took her to the bathroom and applied more medicine at lunch. Sadly, our lunches are not nearly as nice as the other kids lunches. Gotta work on that. But she doesn't eat much! Either in quantity or variety.

I had that song on 45.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Wait, what?

I was all "I want a castle! What's immature about..oh."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Whereas I went straight to "impregnable" jokes. OMG, y'all, didn't I used to be a grownup? At least once?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Lots of castles for sale in France! But not all in "Condom."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, Bono lets it fly.

He's also my favourite part of the somewhat less well known "(Ain't Gonna Play) Sun City".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whereas I went straight to "impregnable" jokes.

Think you could get in with a Trojan horse?
