One of my colleagues has just asked me (as the office smartarse font of all knowledge), where the phrase

comes from. Of course, by now it's all over the interwebnet (a fact which I do not in any way link to a certain cute penguin image popular with a large proportion of geeks), t-shirts and so on.

You asked...

It's from a book of unintentionally hilarious and truly awful teenage-heroin-girl poetry.

Aaah yes indeed. Those ones are okay. According to Phil Jupitus, the ones that sit on your car in the safari parks are actually just trying to steal enough parts of your car to make their own escape vehicle. They want a Ford Cosworth in Essex Boy colours.

"Antmen Carry Away My Thoughts As Soon As I Think Them" was a compilation of cartoons by Steven Appleby.
