Decapitated monkeys and Nine Inch Nails

When Girl1 lost her first tooth, the Tooth Fairy left her not only a $1 coin, but also a small stuffed monkey. One hour after the kids woke up the next morning, Girl1 had already decapitated him. I've heard of those mothers who scream, "We can't have anything nice in this house and it's all because of you." Yeah, I understand that now. Give my kids a few hours and they can destroy anything. Often, it doesn't even take that long.

I found the decapitated monkey fascinating. Not only would it be a kickin' name for a band, but the visual is pretty neat too. See what I mean?


Doesn't he look sad about the fact that his head was violent torn from his body?


And now for more randomness. I've heard this song on the radio, but haven't paid much attention. It came on while I was in the car with dh yesterday and he recited the first two lines and told me he liked the song. I heard it again today and looked up the rest of the lyrics. Here they are:

Nine Inch Nails - Capital/Capitol G

I pushed a button and elected him to office and a
He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb
You pushed a button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long ha ha
I'm sick of hearing 'bout the haves and the have nots
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my God for this one
He signs his name with a Capital G

Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about
Ain't gonna worry bout no future generations and a
I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out
Don't try to tell how some power can corrupt a person
You haven't had enough to know what it's like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I'm right—all right!

Well I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my God for this one
He signs his name with a Capital G
