People say I have a Cabbage Patch crack, because it's so innocent. -Eric
This reference initiated from a friend concerning his ass crevice. I found the language interesting to insert an outdating cultural reference well-known to many (if not all age-relevant) Americans into a commercial idealism and a sexual context.
Do lies lie in the truth? -Classmate CNF
A slight tongue-twister, this sparked in Hipchen's Creative Non-Fiction class, where we as a class were discussing truthiness and the deceptions of truth. The interesting portion of this quote includes the duality of the second "lie"--meaning either a fragmentation of the "Truth" or a physical (or metaphorically geographical) position.
Ai/I use(s) fuck really well. -Heather
As you may remember, this surfaced in our own classroom upon discussing the uses of profanity in poetry. This quote can either serve as homage to Ai, or as an interesting first-person perspective. I think this could actually form into an ars poetica piece, were one interested.
For such a lovely crime, I'll do the time. Better lock me up, I'll do it again. -Dave Matthews Band "I Did It"
I selected this piece because I regularly listen to the DMB, and was trying to figure out why I have every song memorized. I decided the beats in combination with the words and politics continues to draw me in. I enjoy this line for its social and polical commentary on the judicial and reform system, rebelliousness as heroism, and a sort of sinful pleasure and voyeurism.
Dude--we've got two hobos and an engaged lesbian in here. - Holly
I've found recently that some of my best work initiates from the political incorrectness of my friends--as seen in this statement by Holly. These issues of homosexuality, marriage, welfare, and an insecure economy surface even in the slightest of jokes, and I believe that the same politics will often surface in my works.
