These are still unanswered. BJ3 is a Mellencamp song. BJ4 is not a Steve Miller song. 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. ---

A few more: **LJ-4:** Greetings, condition of lack of light, with which I am intimately acquainted from a time in the distant past; it is my intention to engage in conversation with you a second time, the reason being that a visual hallucination, moving in a stealthy manner, has deposited its reproductive ovules whilst I was in a state of unconsciousness. Furthermore, the visual hallucination which was thereby embedded into my cerebral cortex is as yet still present, contained within a lack of sonic stimuli. **LJ-5:** A period of seven complete revolutions of the Earth has passed since you observed me via your ocular organs, rotated your cranium along the Z axis, and declared your feelings of outrage. **LJ-6:** I have been informed that there existed an esoteric combination of sonic frequencies which, when performed by the second King of Israel, gave the Judeo-Christian deity a sense of great happiness and satisfaction. However, is it not true that you have no particular interest in such sonic frequencies? ---

Just as a precautionary note: While posting the “legalese” version of an entire song is probably safe, I’d recommend dropping [Ukulele Ike](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=1717) or another moderator/admin a quick line, and doublecheck, before doing so. [sub]And translating the whole song back to the original is definately gonna be a no-no, o’course.[/sub] ---

## And having said that, I thought of one. Ahem. Some time post ‘Welcome to 1900!’ parties At a notable altitude above the Rhine in 0% cloud cover Mechanical noise similar to loud animal cries and storms arrived unlike any aural phenomena humans had previously encountered Akin to the shrieks and noises of a large combative avian. ---

Scan the landscape for the vagina-possessing human with the solar light beams in her optic receivers Only to discover she has quitted the area. Feminine form of the name Louis is contained within the layers of the atmosphere with the rarest of all crystalline jewels… Stalk the female as she transverses a suspended footpath beside an ornate piece of cement that decoratively spouts liquid In an area populated solely by a species of tottering equine/human variety, whose diet consists primarily of mallow-filled pastry. In this land all the citizens assume expressions of happiness as you levitate on past the plant life that has achieved an astonishingly high growth rate. Rent-able tabloid transportation become visible where the ocean meets land Anticipating a time in which you will enter them and they can in turn bear you person off to far away places. Clamber inside the rear with your facial region in moist pockets of evaporated water vapor And you’ve departed. Feminine form of the name Louis is contained within the layers of the atmosphere with the rarest of all crystalline jewels… Imagine your being on a steam-powered transportation unit in a terminal In which there are employees who caretake with mirrored neck adornments. Without warning a life form appears near the mechanical person counter The Ovaried One with the kaleidoscopic vision receptors. \* ---
