Town

A town is a human settlement larger than a village but smaller than a city. The size definition for what constitutes a "town" varies considerably in different parts of the world.

Origin and use

The word town shares an origin with the German word Stadt, the Dutch word tuin, and the Old Norse tun. The German word Zaun comes closest to the original meaning of the word: a fence of any material. An early borrowing from Celtic *dunom (cf. Old Irish dun, Welsh din "fortress, fortified place, camp," dinas "city;"

In English and Dutch, the meaning of the word took on the sense of the space which these fences enclosed. In England, a town was a small community that could not afford or was not allowed to build walls or other larger fortifications, and built a palisade or stockade instead. In the Netherlands, this space was a garden, more specifically those of the wealthy, which had a high fence or a wall around them (like the garden of palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn, which was the example for the privy garden of William and Mary at Hampton Court). In Old Norse tun means a (grassy) place between farmhouses, and is still used in a similar meaning in modern Norwegian.

Barack Obama

Barack Hussein Obama II (US ⁱ/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is an American politician serving as the 44th President of the United States, the first African American to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School between 1992 and 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, and ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for the United States House of Representatives in 2000 against incumbent Bobby Rush.

In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his inauguration, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Tank Girl: Lock up your sons!

Donner: Wanna dance?::Jet Girl: I don't know how.::Donner: It's okay, I brought condoms!

Tank Girl: Look, it's been swell, but the swelling's gone down.

[first lines]::Tank Girl: Listen up, cause I'm only telling you this once. I'm not bedtime story lady, so pay attention. It's 2033. The world is *screwed* now. You see, a while ago this humongous comet came crashing into the earth. Bam, total devastation. End of the world as we know it. No celebrities, no cable TV, no water. It hasn't rained in 11 years. Now 20 people gotta squeeze inside the same bathtub - so it ain't all bad.

Booga: I was a dog, but because I was really good, they moved me up to human being status. [Looks down his mutant body] Ehh... sort of.

Kesslee: Eight, eight, the burning hate. Between Sunday and Monday there lies a day so dark it will devastate.::Tank Girl: Look, if you want to torture me, spank me, lick me, do it. But if this poetry shit continues, shoot me now, please.

Tank Girl: You gotta think about it like the first time you got laid. You just gotta say: "Daddy, are you sure this is right?"::Jet Girl: [shy laugh, covering her mouth] You're sick.::Tank Girl: How come you always do that? How come you always cover your mouth when you smile? You got bad teeth or somethin'?

Tank Girl: [shakes fists around] Oh I'm so pretty! [continues shaking fists and begins to dance from foot to foot] Oh, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!

Tank Girl: I'm too young for this shit!

Town

[Chorus:]
Oh She Felt So Lonely
When I Par' With My Homies
In The Town Town Town
[Verse:]
She Was There When I Was Down
When I Was Blue She Was Around
I Was So Lost Could Not Be Found
Was Just Wondering Around
Stranded In The Town
[Chorus]
[Verse:]
Why Do The Good Girls Love The Bad Boy Them?
And Think They Can Change Them Into Good Guys When
They Feel That Love In Them
She Says The Streets Are Full Of Pestilence
And Temptation, – I Went
Cause I Can't Stay On Her Ends
[Chorus]
[Verse:]
You Ever Feel Lonely In A Crowd?
And Above Your Head There Is This Big Black Cloud
And Only You Can Figure This Out
It's Like Findin' Food Durin' A Drought
[Chorus]
Oh I Just Can't Settle Down
