Seven, I guess. On Memory.

puddlesofunSo I guess I had some sort of obligation to post yesterday, but I was overcome with the feeling that I have nothing interesting to say.
News: Two attractive french backpackers crashed in our lounge room last night.
Where does France keep all of its ugly people? Are they locked up somewhere?

I also seemed to have forgotten about the quotes thing about halfway through the week. Lame. It's unsurprising that nobody picked the last one I did remember to post:
"There's two ways to the goblin city
The short way's short but the long way's pretty!"
As it's author, as far as I can tell, was my unconscious mind. Which is to say: the words are from a scene in a movie that I remember seeing as a child, but upon more recent viewings it appears the scene does not in fact exist.
The words were sung loudly by a hairy caterpillar in a jacket, who was also not actually in the film.
I remember when I was a child that my house had a pot-bellied stove, and I'm pretty sure that isn't true either.
If I ever have kids I will make a photographic record of their environment, just so they have something to refer back to when they are in their 20's and reminiscing.

The which makes more sense really. I mean, of course the short way is short. Duh.
It was in a particularly boring, uneventful story in a book I had as a child. It was probably a quote, though. I may check with my sisters - I'm curious now.
If they don't know what I'm talking about, does that mean the rhyme is floating around somewhere in the collective unconsciousness? Because that's kind of awesome.
