SI 4: Pretty hard, until the end, until the last 2 lines. Dear person occupying flamboyance; Life is most certainly difficult, I prefer to cook Canadian Bacon in a skillet; Similar to what I do with spiced ham. It is finished when I forcefully enter the room; It makes me perceive I am David Berkowitz. Please do not force me to destroy public property, With a repeater pistol, after I become excited like electricity. Darn. The incandecent bulbs are flashing, I am pondering if it is the apocalypse when I imbibe alcohol. It is impairing the functioning speed of my brain. I must drink a bottle of malt liquor of a certain volume, and nothing else. Because, my close friend, I must persevere; because a black person like me has lost his sagacity. Psychotic in the semi-permiable surface. Psychotic in the neo-cortex. ---

L4L-8 A female exists that is absolutely positive that any matter which reflects waves of light in a random pattern must consist of a soft, highly maleable, metallic element. This female plans on exchanging currency for a structure that assists in ascending, in this case, to the realm of God. L4L-9 Perchance I were to exit this location anytime after midnight, Would thoughts of myself be embedded within your brain cells? Circumstances dictate that I am obliged to begin a journey at this moment, For I am inundated with an overabundance of locations that must be visually inspected by myself. ---

Mine haven’t been answered yet, so I’ll add a line to each: Lud1: Someone Nietzche wrote about updated his location to the terrestrial in order to determine the extent of the individuals he could best in a manner resembling petrification. **Before he encountered the square subdivision of the city created by intersecting streets in which we reside, he bested all opposition in a manner resembling stirring air.** 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. **Refrain from informing yours truly that yourself and myself should not commence: tell me the reason that yours truly and yourself came to be in different locations.** ---

Hate it when I miss out on a couple days of one o’ these threads… I keep guessing songs, then see someone else pegged it a day ago, and I just haven’t read that far yet. **Kyomara** bagged **SKEE04** nicely.

Still pending (with a slight correction) **SKEE03** : Copulation, the cessation of life, and units of currency, my male child, all conspire to impart rotational impetus to this antisocial sphere.
