Plain Text Lyrics without ads and popups

When Searching for song lyrics and you just want sites with plain lyrics and not a bunch of pop-up ads and other garbage. . .

type in for example: txt lyrics huey lewis power of love

to narrow it down do: allinurl: txt lyrics artist song

Man, this is probably the latest I have ever stayed up and been working on a computer,
2:07 am. I need some sleep.

There needs to be more sites out there, like for song lyrics that don't have a bunch
of annoying ads and pop-ups all over the place.

Alcohol Statistics

Alcohol is closely linked with violence. About 40 percent of all crimes (violent and non-violent) are committed under the influence of alcohol.

Young people view approximately 20,000 commercials each year, of which nearly 2,000 are for beer and wine.

Each year, college students spend approximately $5.5 billion on alcohol- more than they spend on soft drinks, milk, juice, tea, coffee and books combined.

More than 40 percent of individuals who start drinking before the age of 13 will develop alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence at some point in their lives.

Alcohol kills 6 ½ times the number of people killed by cocaine, heroin, and every other illegal drug combined. Ten million Americans are addicted to alcohol. Alcohol is the No. 1 drug problem of today's youth.

Good Will Hunting (1997) Quotes

Sean: Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love
yourself.

Sean: See you Monday. We'll be talking about Freud and why he did enough
cocaine to kill a small horse.

Skylar: Men are shameless. If you're not thinking with your wiener then you're acting directly on it's behalf.

Saki Quotes

Every reformation must have its victims. You can't expect the fatted calf
to share the enthusiasm of the angels over the prodigal's return.

"If he had unlimited money at his disposal, he might go into the wilds
somewhere and shoot big game. I never know what the big game have done to
deserve it, but they do help to deflect the destructive energies of some of
our social misfits."
from: "The Unbearable Bassington"

"I always say beauty is only sin deep."

Quote from Star Trek Generations Movie

Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalks us all our lives,
I have come to believe that time is companion that helps on the journey,it
reminds us to cherish every moment because it may never come again, what
we leave behind is not as important as how we lived it.

Investing 101

Investing 101: Working Money: The Phenomenal Concept of Compounding
http://www.investopedia.com/university/beginner/beginner2.asp

Today I traded the Macromedia (MACR) stock on Investopedia.com
www.investopedia.com

I also checked out the performance of Google (GOOG), Canon (CAJ), and AMD on
Yahoo Finance.

I still need to find the parent company of Shutterfly. I could use a Google Answer if
I had the money, or post it to Google Groups.

The parent company of Ofoto is Kodak.

Movie Quote from Old School, Dumb & Dumber, etc.

Quotes from Old School (2003)
Frank: Anything? Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think well maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about.

Quotes from Dances with Wolves (1990)
John Dunbar: The strangeness of this life cannot be measured: in trying to produce my own death, I was elevated to the status of a living hero.

Some Quotes from Scary Movie (2000)
Officer: How are you today Cindy? Cindy Campbell: Good officer, how are you? Officer: Bloated, constipated, got a boil on my ass the size of a walnut - you know, the usual.

Quotes from Dumb & Dumber (1994)
Lloyd Christmas: When I met Mary, I got that old fashioned romantic feeling, where I'd do anything to bone her. Harry Dunne: That's a special feeling.
Harry Dunne: Nice set of hooters you got there! Mary Swanson: I beg your pardon? Harry Dunne: The owls! They're beautiful!
Cop: They're driving an '84... Sheepdog.

Word Soup: tautology

tautology: repetition of an idea in different words.

Quote from the Movie 28 days with Sandra Bullock

Quote from the Movie 28 days (2000)

Lily Cummings:
Even a pain in the ass needs someone to take care of them.

"Hey, hey, what do you say, being sober is the only way."

Insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.

Song in background of the Movie
Drunk men stagger, drunk men fall,
Drunk men swear and that’s not all,
Quite often they will urinate outdoors.
Like widowed women, drunk men weep,
Like children curled up, drunk men sleep,
Like a dog, a drunk will crawl around on all fours.

Quote from The Prisoner of Azkaban

But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times,
when one only remembers to turn on the light.
- Dumbledore

Lyrics to La Bamba by Ritchie Valens

Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba,
Se necesita una poca de gracia.
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti.
Arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti sere,
Por ti sere.
Por ti sere.

Yo no soy marinero.
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan.
Soy capitan.
Soy capitan.

Ba-ba-bamba,
Ba-ba-bamba,
Ba-ba-bamba,
Ba...

Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba, se necesita una poca de gracia.
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti.
Arriba, arriba.

R-r-r-r-r, Ja! Ja!

Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba,
Se necesita una poca de gracia.
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti.
Arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti sere,
Por ti sere.
Por ti sere.

Ba-ba-bamba.
Ba-ba-bamba.
Ba-ba-bamba.
