I’m oedipus bitch, the original balla.

Posted in Classics, Oddly... by Elliott Back on September 20th, 2007.

In an anonymous high school student’s paper about Oedipus Rex, we find this gem of a citation:

Riding in the benzo, poppin my colla
See some fine wenches, I hafta holla
Diamonds, gold, and all the mighty dolla
I’m oedipus bitch, the original balla.
I bust out my 9, to light up your impala.
Fuck that police!

Thanks to George Bush’s No Child Left Behind policy the teacher was forced to give this inebriated student a 61% for his creative efforts. Much to my shame, I’m unable to locate the citation in any of the translations of Oedipus that I posses, but my friends assure me this is a truthful rendering of the original Greek.
