And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota is legitimately one of my favorite songs of all time.
His epic story songs are absolutely incredible. I’m a big fan of Albuquerque.

For some reason I thought nancy kerrigan was the zerg queen
You’re thinking of her sister, Sarah Kerrigan.
You’re not entirely wrong.
From the wiki:
Initially based around the character Tanya Adams in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series, Kerrigan was named after Nancy Kerrigan, who at the time was involved in a feud with Tonya Harding.
Wasn’t she the semifinallist from Highlander?
I think I’ll just go find Nancy Kerrigan.
I went on vacation with a girl like that once. It was not a nice trip.
Story?
She looks just like Emma Watson.
And she can break my kneecap any time
