They're allowed to be happy ironically. posted by ardgedee at 9:27 AM on December 28, 2010 [5 favorites]
No, we are not happy ironically.
Instead, we sigh for what might have been. We briefly recall better times. There is only one iron here: under the iron bridge we kissed, and although I ended up with sore lips, it just wasn't like ... the old days anymore ... posted by adipocere at 9:32 AM on December 28, 2010 [10 favorites]

I haven't been on a Smiths kick lately, which also makes this perfect timing...now I can get on one. posted by Jimbob at 12:48 PM on December 28, 2010
I've never, not been on a Smiths kick, since sometime in 1984, and boy, am I tired... posted by Skygazer at 2:05 PM on December 28, 2010 [2 favorites]
I've been on a Smiths kick since I saved the $3.00 an hour I earned as a grocery bagger at ShopRite to buy a large, very heavy, and very expensive Compact Disc player, and a CD of Louder Than Bombs to play in it...
this is great, thanks posted by askmehow at 9:25 PM on December 28, 2010

I saw this on another site. Great find. I thought they just got better and better and the majority of Strangeways pointed to even getting better but it wasn't to be.
