Lines from Lanes

Aside from the countless hours of endlessly intellectually and spiritually stimulating conversation that takes place between me and David on a road trip, there are also, on rare occasions, some less than meaningful sentiments uttered along the way. Here are some, in random order.

Katie: “I need coffee.”

David: "If someone was going to torture you slowly with bad music, what would be the worst? Kenny G, Barry Manilow, Billy Joel or Bread?"

Katie: “First Barry Manilow, then Kenny G, then Bread, then Billy Joel.”

David: “What fruit should you never serve to Romeo and Juliet?”

Katie: “What?”

David: “Cant-elope.”

Katie: "I could never stay at a place called the Plantation Inn."

David: "When I was a kid I used to smash my head against the wall for attention."

Katie: “Do you embrace the idea of nature more than you embrace nature itself?”

David: “I like nature, I just don’t like bugs.”

Katie: “Sometimes I feel like coffee is the highlight of my day.”

David: "It’s easier to contemplate the nature of infinity than to imagine someone really grooving to Barry Manilow."

Katie: “I’m pulling over for coffee.”

David: “Just call me “Moon doggie.”

Katie: “Your idea of nature is the Atlantis Spa and Resort in the Bahamas.”

David: “If Gandhi heard the song “If” by Bread, even he would want to beat the shit out of the band.”

Katie: “I’m going to take Annie camping at the end of the month, we’re going to sleep under the stars, do you want to come?”

David: “There are a couple of stars I’d like to sleep under.”

Katie: "Stop looking at my speedometer."

David: "I wouldn't want to live in a town called 'Hazardville."

Katie: "Do you think women are too preoccupied with the need to have technique in bed? I mean, do you think that really all they have to do is lay there and it would be fine for a man?"

David: "I like that bumper sticker, 'Secular Moderate Republican on Board.'"

Katie: "Let's stop at the Basketball Hall of Fame."

David: "One time I got drunk in college and smashed cookies on my head."

Katie: “Coffee is a curse.”
