You amble into a dining establishment weary as a result of extensive highway transport. You can detect the stares upon you as you acclimate yourself from the frigid exterior conditions. You feign stoicism in spite of your urges to express rage and frustration. ---

Since nobody got my earlier one, I’ll repost it (with more) > [@pedescribe](#): > > “I have obtained a set of hubcaps, made fully of the homogenous combination of iron and carbon and shined fully, > I have obtained rubber coverings for these hubcaps that are able to grip the asphalt quite easily, > I have obtained cushions which will allow many people whom I favor to place themselves upon them, > and I have obtained a back storage device that is most large and weight-bearing.” “I wish my actions to have good consequences, and my wishes are honest, and they are truthful, but within the formost section of my automobile, is internal combustion power, and the Prince of Darkness is the object that powers it” Oh, and one of those lines is verbatim from the song. Happy hunting! ---

Alright, here’s one: “I am currently in a dominating romantic relationship with a female who studies the occult profession, she has rendered my ocular functionings so dead that they are unable to function, I have taken up an erotic and deep relationship with a womb possessor who partakes in the dark arts, and she is trying to make me the leader of the religion that she practices.” ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] how much of the lyric are we required to obfuscate? [/QUOTE] As much as you think is needed to be identifiable. If you want it to be easy, use more lines and don’t get too convoluted with the altered version. If you want it to be harder, start with just a short piece of the song and go nuts. > [@me](#): > > - What will be the disposition of that collection of sundry items contained within that voluminous storage device in your possesion? > - It is a means by which to intoxicate onlookers with fantastic promises of enjoyable, perhaps salacious, activities done together. I wasn’t clear enough, I guess. These are both lines from “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. “What you gon’ do with all that junk?/All that junk inside your trunk?” “I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk/Get you love drunk off my hump.” Although I suppose the second line fits with any of the other songs mentioned. Just goes to show Fergie is a hack. ---

[QUOTE=WoodenTaco] I observe your gyrations, and can intuit that you are cognizant of my attention. Not only that, but you are aware that I would like to copulate with you. You already can discern this. [/QUOTE] Akon, “I Wanna Fuck You” A new one: The territory of our inception is a place known for H[sub]2[/sub]0 in its low energy state, both in glacial and precipitate forms. During certain months of the year, the axial tilt of the Earth is such that the nearest fiery celestial orb does not pass below the horizon, as it does in more equatorial zones. The generally bleak terrain is punctuated here and there by thermal upwellings of H[sub]2[/sub]0 in a higher energy state. ---
