Dang, you go off the board for a few hours and stuff happens!

Anyway, here’s some new ones:

**b9** - I have an utterance to present, I terminated your infant this rotational period.

**b10** - You have questioned why my vestments are without color, why you have failed to observe vibrant hues upon my person.

**b11** - Beneath the incandescence where we rise altitudinous, no one makes physical contact with us in any manner.

I did too, Film, maybe we were right and the lyrics site was wrong 🙂

Lud2: Deep red and trifolium, repeated. The building in which we abide does not reside on either end of the avenue. Tell me the reason that it ever came to pass that the two of us should happen upon one another.

**Kyomara** and **NFlanders** were, of course, both right about “Another Brick in the Wall.” 😉

**Kat06:** I regained consciousness in an entranceway located in the vicinity of London’s West End, only to find that I had been recognized by an officer of the law. He informed me that I was free to resume my state of dormancy at my own place of residence on the condition that I was capable of travelling there of my own accord…

Indeed.

Here’s a easy one… but I enjoyed doing it.

SI 2: Part of the time, I percieve I am missing a companion.  
Part of the time I percieve I am my sole chum.  
Is the metropolis where I reside, the metropolis of Seraphim?  
Uncherished I accept, yet contemporaneously we grieve.

I mobilize on the thoroughways, due to the fact that she is my associate.  
I locomote on the groundswells, due to the fact that she is aware of my identity.  
She audits my altruism, and without restraint blesses me.  
Never I fret,  
Behold! an untruth.

Eminem’s _Without Me_.

This looks like a job for me  
So everyone, come follow me  
'Cause we need a little controversy  
It feels so empty without me

The answers to Pro1 and 2 are correct. Since no one got the third one, here’s another bit from the same song:

**Pro3a** - If I should lose control of my mental faculties, will you still refer to me by the psuedonym I use to perform heroic endeavours? If I am extant and in good health, will you be present, grasping my upper extremity?

And a bunch of new ones:

**Pro4** - I am only affecting a positive change when I am in a state of pleasure. There is no person to whom I am answerable. I have no concern over how I am percieved by others.

**Pro5** - Should you find yourself in a conundrum, consult the star nearest to our planet. The possession of a device that can detect magnetic north can also be of great assistance to your travels.

**Pro6** - It is fortunate that my mammary glands are diminutive and not prone to hubris; in this manner, there can be no confusion between said mammaries and massive geological formations caused by plate tectonics.

**Pro7** - Insert me into the field of play, manager, I am prepared to partake in the sporting event we are to be engaged in on this date. Direct your attention towards me, I can fulfill the duties of the player located in the middle of the outfield.

**Pro8** - I apologize, provider of my X chromosome. I did not intend to cause you to sustain injury. I did not intend to cause you to secrete a saline solution from your optical cavities.

WOW - I’m impressed! But alot of this thread has done that.  
That’s Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Under the Bridge”

Sometimes I feel  
Like I don’t have a partner  
Sometimes I feel  
Like my only friend  
Is the city I live in  
The city of angel  
Lonely as I am  
Together we cry  
I drive on her streets  
’cause she’s my companion  
I walk through her hills  
’cause she knows who I am  
She sees my good deeds  
And she kisses me windy  
I never worry  
Now that is a lie

Oh, and **Pro3a**  
“If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman”  
is “Kryptonite”, 3 doors down

Pro5 - REM, Stand  
“If you are confused, check with the sun. Carry a compass to help you along”  
Pro6 - Shakira, “Wherever, whenever”  
“Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don’t confuse them with mountains”

“Center Field” – dang, now I can’t remember the singer’s name – Dan Fogelberg?

“Put me in, coach,  
I’m ready to play today  
Look at me  
I can be  
Center field”

**Kat07:** When I emerge from a somnolent state at an hour occurring in the first part of the ante-meridian portion of the day, and elevate my cranium, I continue to inhale in an awkward way indicating either fatigue or insufficient oxygen intake…

**MrD3**  
I am erect on the intertidal strip at the continental margin, grasping a small projectile weapon in my manipulatory appendage.

Cleaning out my Closet - Eminem

I’m sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you  
I never meant to make you cry.  
SI 3 -  
I would like to;  
I would like to be an alternate character,  
or I’ll combust in a rapid manner.  
Weightless while on the expance for  
The avians, the avians, the avians.

If you would like to contact me,  
please conduct a search for my person  
I will be temporized,  
brandishing a rod and a parcel of submarines.

L4L-6 I am certain an egress from our location exists, a jocular fellow commented to someone who is less than honest regarding the handling of other people’s possessions.  
An over-abundance of disorder exists, and assistance is not forthcoming.

L4L-7 Begin the process of internal combustion within your device that converts energy into mechanical motion.  
Advance toward the pathway designed for wheeled mechanical objects.  
Visually surveying for signs of exciting or dangerous undertakings  
contained within the events and circumstances that present themselves to us.

**PRO8** Cleaning Out My Closet by Eminem  
Sorry Momma,  
I never meant to hurt you,  
I never meant to make you cry.

Try these for size.

**Ma3** You are a receptacle filled with organic matter which floats on water, the larva of a housefly, a miserly insect-ridden homosexual.

**Ma4** Due to the fact that you are in my possession, I make my way along the shortest distance between two points.
