A: Yes!
Me: Do you want to try it?
A: What is that, meat juice?
Me: No, it's tomato juice. Do you want some?

Bye daddy, I'm going to school.
OK--how long will you be gone?
Um, thirty seconds. I'll call you on your telephones if you need something, OK?

Let's read a different book. This one's silly, with silly words you read.
What do you mean, silly words?
Like cappuccino monkey.

Recent Reviews
Ain't No Future In Your Frontin' was a stroke of brilliance when it was first released, and it still holds up. The rest of the album is completely useless, except perhaps as an example of how the same artist can be a genius and clown at the same time.
The tracks on Yeraz are all in Armenian, so if you don't know much Armenian you won't know what he's talking about specifically--but you'll still catch the feeling he conveys. Essentially it turns his voice into another instrument, which he plays well, along with his catchy guitar work.
When I don't know what I feel like listening to, I find myself putting this album on more and more. It's got more replay value than anything else I've heard lately (maybe because I don't get sick of the words) I also think it's great that he's been able to update some classic Armenian folk tunes into music that fits into modern life.
