List of Songs along with a brief background about the inspiration behind this unavailable album, Rubber Hole, by Tom Simpson. 1. Raped by the Vacuum I once had lunch at a McDonald's on the east coast and I overheard a girl telling a story.....? I had to change to a seat closer to the bathroom. 2. Wearing Thin I find that before a funny line wears thin it goes through distinct phases. Funny, Silly, Ridiculous, then Annoying. Then ultimately it is just out of date. You can tell it is out of date if people are using the line in Europe. 3. Barbie & GI Joe I had a friend who nailed his GI Joe to a tree and he actually blamed it on Barbie. I could tell by the look on his Mom's face that she did not believe him. 4. The Bed Side Lamp I used to have a bed side lamp that shocked me all the time. I think back and realize that this is probably why it took me a couple of hours to drift off. 5. The Philosophical Cookie Tin We go to the cookie tin for a little munch now and then. At our place we always got a little advice like... "Smooth flows the water where the river runs deep". There were a couple more on the tin but that one really hit home because it helped me break off with this fat chick I accidentally dated. 6. Mother Martyr Martyrdom on the home front. This is a good political tool but the only really good defense is solid passive aggressive stance. 7. One More Time I had an Uncle who used to toss me around and stuff. He was a blast but you always wanted to go again. 8. Two More Times This is when my Uncle destroyed his back. He is still seeing a doctor once a week after 20 something years! 9. Tube Socks You watch. These will become the rage again. 10. Climbing Everest These people are obsessed. I think it compares to riding a stationary bicycle with a plastic bag over your head.
