Try a little blue grass, especially new grass stuff like Nickel Creek, if you want a break from the oridinary. But, please, please, please never speak of the Yanni again.

I recommend you seek out Apocalyptica immediately. Your very soul is at risk!!

Sweetheart, I never, ever want to hear you say anything about Air Supply ever again.

::MsRobyn rummages around in Airman’s CD collection and puts on some Slipknot to bring him out of this::

“Even the nights are better,  
Now that we’re here together.  
Even the nights are better,  
Since I found you…”

I will now go and slit my wrists, since I’m out of Lysol for the brain scrubbing I need so terribly badly right this second. I mean, who but me would actually know any words to an Air Supply song?

I should be ashamed, but I’m somehow taking perverse pleasure in this thread. 😃

::shudder::

I will sleep less soundly now, knowing that someone who is supposed to defend me is a Yanni fan and knows Air Supply lyrics (and probably sings along).

I thought you guys just used Yanni for interrogation.

In Airman’s defense, the whole Air Supply thing is my fault. I have the quoted song as an MP3 and he won’t quit ragging on me about it.

He also won’t let me bring Barry Manilow into the delivery room, so cut him _some_ slack, okay?
