Wow, I was about to link Shakey to this, but screw that. What the actual fuck, though? I bought that thing brand new at Barnes + Noble like two or three years ago for $7.99. No idea why it's gotten so expensive in the interim.

Often when things become unavailable, scarcity drives up price.

That's the line I use on OKCupid.

Is it really that scarce, though? I mean, it's less than ten years old!

Things can be scarce the second they’re released, if there are few of them and any demand exists. That release is out of print, and one single customer decided $46 was a price he was willing to pay one single seller that was asking it. These are the facts we have, do with them what you will!

I used to date a big B-52's fan who had a bunch of their albums running in her CD changer, and this intro had a knack for popping up awkwardly during intimate moments.

Nothing against the B-52’s, but I can’t imagine “getting intimate” to any part of any their songs!

I imagine Schneider breaking through the door like the Kool-Aid guy, holding a dead cat.

I don't know about 'getting intimate', but come on, 'WHERE'S MY TELEPHONE?!'

so since we were talking about doing the sex to B52s - there is a sex scene in the 1990 volleyball movie Sideout scored to this:

The rains have stopped, the stream out back is rushing past the cabin, and Kate Pierson is on my deck filming and calling the wild turkeys, who are gathered under the trees being courted… https://t.co/1OqqTfzbL6— Laura Levine (@LauraLevinePix) April 20, 2019
