the return of eteraz

Oh! Oh!I was going to change these lyrics, but they’re pretty much perfect as-is, except for that unfortunate side effect of dating me severely. Uh, I learned the theme to Welcome Back Kotter on Nick at Nite, okay?

In any case, eteraz was one of the first people who got a Welcome to the Blogroll post here at the ol’ raincoaster blog, a worthwhile activity we have since become to lazy to keep up, so it is only right and fitting that we give him a big hand upon his inevitable return from the massive eteraz.org project to the ranks of us personal rant bloggers. Blogs are just crack for cheap people; once a blogger, always a blogger.

Welcome Back, Eteraz

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.

Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve got him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

quiz: what flavour frappuccino are you?

Or however you spell that. Real women drink coffee and iced Americanos and mochas. Barbie dolls drink Frappuccinos. In SUVs. On their way to the mall. And then they purge in the public bathroom because they’re worried about the calories.


Mocha Frappuccino


Hyper and driven, you’ll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you’d probably chew coffee beans in a crunch!
