Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device

While I'm still on my punk kick, I thought I should really include this. It's from their terrific 1979 debut album, Inflammable Material. Suspect Device is one of the rare political songs that has actually improved with age. These days, it's not just the British army in Northern Ireland who suspect everyone to be a bomb-toting terrorist. Lines such as "They take away our freedom/ In the name of liberty" can now be understood by a far wider audience than when they were originally written.

Am I suggesting that this track become the new anthem of all modern malcontents? On the minus side, Jake Burns released an awful lot of dodgy stuff after his initial success. However, in its favour, it's a punchy tune with a great singalong chorus. It's certainly a damn sight better than The Internationale, that's for sure, and perhaps it's time for it to take its rightful place alongside This Land is Our Land.

Another favourite of mine (in tandem with Alternative Ulster. I didn't realise before you started posting this series how much my musical taste coincides with yours.

Our friend Craig is teaching his seven-year-old son to sing this little ditty.

This doesn't entirely surprise me. He told me once how he taught his nephew(?) how to mince (that's hands on hips, not butchery), and then bribed him into doing it in the school playground.

yes ma...did you ever go to the deli and order some sliced deli meats? Frequently, the deli meat is in a roll that is then sliced for your order. The deli meat is in a "casing". The casing is sometimes some edible rubbery stuff. Anywayz, one day after eating some fresh deli meats, I had an upset stomach. I went to take a crap and noticed something ticklish in my butthole. I pulled on it with my two fingers. Basically, it was like pulling a ribbon out of my ass. The deli casing was undigested by my gut. It was like a paper string covered with feces. Hope you like this posting!Note - The cheapest option is shaving your head with an actual net saving due to no expense for shampoos, conditioners, combs, brushes, or hair stylist. Of course, with this option you get no hair. Note: My Feet smell like rotting garbage in the summertime. Also, after intercourse, we throw each other's underwear at each other in reward for a job well done. In college, there was a girl known as the "Shitter". During anal intercourse, she shat all over the sheets. It was a mix of b.m. and blood. Apparently, during anal penetration she bled. That's how AIDS gets transmitted, so I'm told. A variety of shit comes out of different assholes. I get boners for men. Waxmen. Waxwings. Earwig. Only For The Weak.
