I wanted to do “Jeremy”, but I see someone beat me to it. So here are two quickies…nothing too challenging, I think. 1. Young woman! At this moment I feel as if I am in your possession, and I suspect that this is the cause of my insomnia. 2. Verily, I would that I were like unto a domesticated canine, one that you claimed ownership of. ---

Just reading this thread for the first time, I bow in humble amazement to everyone’s musical knowledge. (In other words, I couldn’t guess hardly any of these…) Anyway, a few more quick ones: rs1: You postulate that there is no congruency between our respective sets, and we do not share a frame of reference; as this is the case, we are discontinuing our association. rs2: O canine of the feminine persuasion, I shall require the return of my financial resources. rs3: I as an individual am associated with a continual, unending negative emotional state. Conflict has been within my field of vision ever since I could consciously remember. I have expressed my goodbyes to my state of origin, currently under the governance of the honorable Paul E. Patton. During the most recently elapsed set of approximately 2,190 diurnal periods I have experienced difficulty. On this planet, I have not found anything to relieve the aforementioned negative emotional state. I find myself required to traverse this globe, without assistance from acquaintences. ---

**SKEE03** was indeed Lita Ford ~ _Kiss Me Deadly_ **SKEE04** : Proceed, and cling to the female under discussion, until the high volume emissions reach a conclusion. Proceed to accept her words at face value when she opines that there is no disturbance of note. There is no other entity but me who would traverse open combustion, simply for your sake. Additionally, none other would be willing to submerse himself in his own yearning for your presence. ---

A little old: L-g-B2) At the time I will gaze upon your presence, those two orbs that are used for visual purposes will metamorphose into a shade of azure. L-g-B3)The post office delivered to me a message before noon today. Do you have any insight as to what this note decreed? And a little new: L-g-B5)The last time the moon shone over the night, she informed me she was feeling depressed, and that she loses all interest (both sexual and otherwise) when she is not included as part of the conversations. L-g-B6)I composed a piece of musical art for your person. The title of this composition was the color of saffron. L-g-B7)Beware! That which you are seeking might become that which you possess. Frigid infants! Odd, but not foreign. L-g-B8)If using your voice to loudly emit musical themes is your prerogative, so be it. ---

BJ1 - My name is \_\_\_\_\_\_, which is the same as my father and paternal grandfather. My grandfather rarely appeared in this area, in fact he only visited the heavily populated area twice per solar cycle. BJ2 - The theology professional has expressed that this is the termination of time, and the largest North American river is in danger of ceasing to flow. BJ3 - Person-shaped pest control device on a frame, dark-hued avian creature in the primary agricultural storage building. 400 units of land measure devoid of anything that used to constitute my crop production center. BJ4 - One standard month of daylight periods, and the same of darkness, I am returning home on an airborne conveyance. BJ5 - I believe I was incorrect. I believe you were correct. The sum of my disgruntled units of language prevent me from entering slumber. ---

It seems that I have been both prolific and crafty. I repost these unsolved ones using the new standards of labeling… AND I’ll give out some clues. MRB1 (they sound a lot like Led Zeppelin) “Oh my goodness” spake the homeless one, “That which you offer unto others and that which you recieve are completely dissimilar. Consume what is set before you Malevolent zephyrs tug your endoskeleton to putrecense Malevolent zephyrs that will release, release me from bondage.” MRB2 (At least one of their songs has already been posted) “So I am controlling a personal automobile that is traversing along a major thoroughfare infamous for being a shopping mecca for the extremely wealthy, all the while having in my posession a firearm that combines short range with high lethality-the assembled personages have not personally witnessed the presence of a person of swarthy appearance since their progenitor’s progenitors purchased one.” MRB3 (from their first album) “There are no humans perambulating the walkways of this city post-sunset but myself- the anarchistic, rebellious child of the atom!” MRB4 (one of the biggest American hard rock bands…ever) An urchin perambulated up to my personage one day and queried of me “Sir, I ask you about these various things, and those various things, and why is your verbiage so odd?” I, replying, vocalized “I am the apotheosis of all that is desirable, I am like unto a zephyr.” MRB5 (lead singer notoriously ugly and notoriously cheap) “I was slain by Thanatos incarnate, I was slain by Thanatos incarnate!” MRB6 (This is the second song by this band I posted) "Metaphorically sugary (innocent) young human offspring dwelling within the chronosphere, you will observe the union of two points along the shortest distance between them, said union sketched along the boundary between forces of light and darkness. MRB7 (released this year, kick-ass video, cool animation) “The woman vocalized “I will dispose of myself” “These are two-dimensional representations of reality at a specific space-time” I am unable to coerce you to remain in the vicinity I cannot douse you from my epidermis Beyond the metaphorical confines of the aforementioned representations is what you and I are excluding Your neurons will not form nor maintain the neccessary synapses to recollect these events, at any rate-” MRB8 (one of the greatest speed-demon guitarists ever) “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.” MRB9 (The guitarist was Satriani before Satriani was Satriani) "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. MRB10 (softer song from a disbanded hard rock band’s frontman) “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.” ---
