quoting from a smog album, but you've never heard it anyway....

ishmael [9:56 PM]: praise whatcho gotta praise to - jah love. rasta manana'

you know who bob marley is right?

danger man [9:58 PM]: yes

old reggae guy

ishmael [9:58 PM]: you ever heard ' no woman no cry?'

' i remember, when we used to sing....in the gov't yard in trenchtown!'

danger man [9:58 PM]: the phrase doesn't jump out at me

ishmael [9:59 PM]: i was trying to explain to what a certain song was the other day... but at least he could hear me sing it

he didn't know the song i was referring to either, but he was pretty pleased that someone sang to him

i guess that doesn't happen a lot to people?

danger man [10:00 PM]: singing in the park

aww so sweet

ishmael [10:00 PM]: i sing out loud all the time

danger man [10:00 PM]: almost like a normal couple

ishmael [10:00 PM]: yeah the more you find out about him yer gonna realize he's not normal at all

danger man [10:00 PM]: well, #1 he's "dating" you

ishmael [10:01 PM]: no, 'seeing'

danger man [10:01 PM]: getting a good look at

ishmael [10:01 PM]: acceptable

proceed

danger man [10:02 PM]: that's it

nothing more needed

ishmael [10:02 PM]: that is what 'normal' is constituted of?

danger man [10:02 PM]: if he's 'seeing' you, he's gotta be at least mostly weird

no, I was just thinking of you walking in the park together like the old couple I saw on the path at confederation park yesterday

but you are just the impression of a normal couple

you have a crazy wacky cream filling

ishmael [10:04 PM]: that's the nicest thing i've heard all day. thank you danger man.

danger man [10:04 PM]: and a punky camndy coating

ishmael [10:04 PM]: yeah, my new haircut is mos def new york circa 1979

danger man [10:04 PM]: makes it even better
