New Author:
The next morning the grandmother was the first one in the car, ready to go. She had her big black valise
that looked like the head of hippopotamus in one corner, and underneath it she was hiding a basket with
Pitty Sing, the cat, in it. She didn't intend for the cat to be left alone in the house for three days because
he would miss her too much and she was afraid he might brush against on of the gas burners and accidentally asphyxiate himself.
The old lady settled herself comfortably, removing her white gloves and putting them up with her purse
on the shelf in front of the back window. The children's mother still had on slacks and still had her head
tied up in a green kerchief, but the grandmother had on a navy blue straw sailor hat with a bunch of
white violets on the brim and navy blue dress with a small white dot in the print...In case of an accident,
anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady.

"Truckin"The Dead

It sounds familiar - especially the line about Peter Lorre,
but I don't know either the name of the song or the artist.
I'm stumped.

Here's some more:
Barnes just broke the cardinal rule in politics: never get caught in bed with a dead woman or a live man.
You know, Sue Ellen, I do believe you're going ninety miles an hour toward a nervous breakdown. We're going to have to do something about your ravings.
Oh Barnes, you just get dumber and dumber every day.
Well, last night we went to the Oil Baron's and we ran into that termite brother of yours!
Are you talking to me?
Anyone else in here gotta termite for a brother?
Lost another one, did you, sugar? Hell, I got to hand it to you, you sure can pick them. A pansy, a crook, and an up-and-coming pauper. You are a veritable magnet for losers and failures.

I worked in an underground mine for 3 and a half years, and drove a carpool for most of that time.
On occasion, I would pop in a tape of Beethoven's 5th during the 30-45 minute drive.
As I walked around underground, I could always tell where my fellow carpoolers were by the whistling,
humming, or singing of Beethoven's 5th wafting out of the drifts or motors.
This is my favorite part of the 5th:
Beethoven's 5th - 4th movement

Say, why don't you have that junior plastic surgeon you married design you a new face: one without a mouth!
A marriage is like a salad: the man has to know how to keep his tomatoes on the top.
All that matters is winning.
Power, money, and control mean nothing to me. I want a nice, ordinary life with my husband.
Look, you refugee from a stud farm, don't push your luck!
You're a drunk!
The Joan of Arc would be a drunk too if she was married to you.
Lots of men have tried to run roughshod over me. You can visit them in the cemetery.

I was born in a cross fire hurricane...
But it's alright now, in fact it's a gas,
But it's alright
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a gas, gas, gas

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" is correct.
The artist I was thinking of was Otis Reading, but Al Green may have covered it, too.
After all, two artists as different as Michael Bolton and David Allen Coe both did their own covers of this song, so I wouldn't rule anything out.
Take it away, dooj.

BB King & Clapton - if you like the blues...
Aretha - she won a Grammy for this one -

James Taylor "You've Got a Friend"?
George
Nope - think blues and/or soul.

Really?
Seriously?
No one knows this?
Hmmm, maybe everyone just forgot about this thread -
So, here's another line:
Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me, when times get bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,

Bruce Willis
Unbreakable
Samuel L. Jackson

Jack London?
Jack London is correct!
Both quotes are from The Sea Wolf and are indicative of Hump's man-crush on Wolf Larsen, the captain of the Sea Wolf.
aDan, it's your turn.

Here's some more:
Sometimes I think Wolf Larsen mad, or half mad at least, what of his strange moods and vagaries.
At other times I take him for a great man, a genius who has never arrived. And, finally, I am convinced
that he is the perfect type of the primitive man, born a thousand years or generations too late and an
anachronism in this culminating century of civilization. He is certainly an individualist of the most pronounced type.
Not only that, but he is very lonely. There is no congeniality between him and the rest of the men aboard ship.
His tremendous virility and mental strength wall him apart. They are more like children to him, even the hunters,
and as children he treats them, descending perforce to their level and playing with them as a man plays with puppies.
Or else he probes them with the cruel hand of a vivisectionist, groping about in their mental processes and
examining their souls as though to see of what soul-stuff is made.

VPW did have a stroke according to the POP paper. I'm not sure of the timing because CG doesn't give any dates, of course.
Perhaps someone who remembers these events could put a date to it.
The following are from POP (p 2):
And yes, reading POP is like swimming in vomit, as Dooj so aptly put it. It certainly makes me feel slimy. It's a good thing I can quickly scan written information.
