A great weight has been lifted from my shoulders…Oh yeah, I remember now, my brain exploded…

Yeah, the hint sent me down the right track. The embarrassing part for me is that is one of my all time favorites from them.

“Presently, the oceangoing vessels of your people have been reduced to cinders and the force opposed to good has reappeared in your vicinity. It will fall upon you in a stealthy fashion, and there is naught you can do to avoid this fate.”  
"I analogize your physical beauty to a simple confection of crystalized sucrose precipitated from supersaturated heated H2O, young woman: quite solid, stimulating certain taste buds that detect sugary foods, and tending to cause adjacent objects to cling.  
“My male parent’s male sibling owns some acreage beyond city limits, a fact of which most, if not all persons, are unaware. He claims it was once an agrarian production unit in the time before legislation altered what kind of engine technologies were permissible to own and operate”  
“This woman of whom I sing I percieve as omnipotent- ownership of any given whimsy is well within her grasp; the potency to alter that which she percieves is incorrect. I fail to comprehend what it is she desires of my presence.”

Lessee here… Time for some new entries.  
(And time to follow **Lisa-go-Blind** ’s example and start numbering these things, I think.)

**SKEE01** : It is currently possible to observe your narrator, an experienced combatant, tempered by a large number of skirmishes which have taken place primarily in the realm of the non-physical.

**SKEE02** : Diseased entities in combustion powered conveyances orbit the gaseous stellar bodies that I consider to be personal propery.

**SKEE03** : So it came to pass that I found myself at a boistrous nocturnal gathering this past weekend. I failed to achieve any successful personal intercourse, and in fact wound up involved in an altercation. Most definately, this was of no major consequence.

Ack. I even previewed. The last word of **SKEE02** should be “property.”

Skeezix: Skee03 is Lita Ford…But I can’t remember the song’s name-I own none of her stuff (though I do like her). Its the one that starts off “I went to a party last Saturday night, I didn’t get laid…”

Fnoof: that is some fine Rage against the machine, but once again, the title escapes me.

Just realized - “Killing in the name of”

(had to sing along for a while to get there)  
Some of my own:

1. Continue as planned, contrary child of the male persuasion  
A non-violent condition will exist upon the comletion of your trip.

2. It is vaugely akin to a man experiencing intercourse with your female parent, existing in this location lacking the person to which I am singing.

3. For what reason does precipitation fall on my personage in a consistant manner?  
Is it due to the fact that I uttered a lie at an age that most youths are finishing high school?
