I live on a kind of hill with a main road on it. About halfway up. The road is a good 20 or 30 something degree grade. Often, there will be people on bikes or skateboards shooting past, having gained considerable speed since starting out at the top. We can usually hear them coming for a while, especially the skateboarders. There's a building across the street which basically turns our block into an amplification tube.

Anyway, my bathroom window faces the street. I'm in the bathroom earlier, being hungover and trying not to die, and I hear a guy go past on a bike, the sound fading in and out. During his approach and as he's passing, in a crappy third-rate "hollywood musical"-ish voice, he SINGS this:

" ....ooohhh Fuuuuuuuuck MeeeEEEE.......FUUUUUUuuuuck THE WOOoooooooooooorlllllldddd.... "

Hey, whatever lights you up, Sunshine.
