No Picture Millhouse Wanna Be	#1 by Millhouse van Houten at Mar 16, 2006 at 7:42 AM EST
	You forgot the most important part.... ... and doesn't know shit. In the final verse he says "Perfection is my middle name and whatever rhymes with eloquent". Les could definitely find aword that rhymes with eloquent, but instead he chooses to portray this last verse in this way to show that 'Know-it-alls' are not as good as they think. Anyone that can claim they are perfect should be able to rhyme that word.
