A few days ago I had dinner with my boyfriend and his family at their home. In the tradition the five of us had formed over the months of meals, we went to the living room afterward for a movie. First, though, Mike's father wanted to watch a little news. There I encountered my first junkyard quote! The news headline read: "Standard Bar Fight".
We, of course, started debating the characteristics of a standard and non-standard bar fight, before discovering there had been a fight at a bar called Standard. How disappointing! And yet no less interesting for a junkyard quote!
Another interesting phrase that I will add to this first post of junkyard quotes comes once again from my ever-insightful and always unintentionally locquacious boyfriend. Upon seeing a tattooed skeleton on "Ripley's Believe It or Not," he questioned, "Can you tattoo a corpse?" Despite the two tattoos I proudly own, that is one question I do not know the answer to and that will make for some interesting additions to poetry later!
