Thankyou. :P

I don't even have the whole line on my iPod, to be candid. I had to whittle it down to "turtles and goats\nfilling up boats" to make it fit. It's really just a reminder of _why and his words, although I have always liked that particular line. I've found it running through my head on occasion, like a song stuck in my head. (This happens to me with many words and phrases, most recently "alabaster M&Ms")

Now why don't we discuss my iPod wallpaper? http://viewsourcecode.org/forum/why-wallpaper.png

(Next up: I take you all downstairs to my basement where I spin you some old Thirsty Cups records of mine.)

This is a detour from the current ongoing conversation, but what are the Plastic Cups?

I think he meant the Thirsty Cups, _why's band:

Wow, I can't believe I thought it was "Plastic Cups" all this time. Thanks stephencelis, I've edited my comment.

Edit: ah, now I remember. It's because in chapter 4 of the poignant guide, _why starts using plastic_cup as an example variable and I thought he was making a reference to his band, and forever thereafter I confused the name.
