Uh. Wow. “Twitterpated” is not in my Websters Unabridged, though I can guess from context… ---

OK, now I’m feeling old. (Or maybe it’s because I’m a parent?) I thought everyone knew what “twitterpated” meant, and where it came from. (Note: The origin of ‘twitterpated’ has no bearing on the lyric.) ---

Mikie, I’m 17, and I knew what _twitterpated_ meant, if that makes you feel any better. Granted, I think I know from the same source you know, but from the child’s side of the spectrum. Yeah, somehow I don’t think that helped… ---

This one hasn’t been answered yet, so I’ll add a bit to it. OS19: This is not the finale, what with my having viewed your personae once more this day. The sight of you caused me to move my blood-pumping organ to the opposite direction of which it had previously faced. You assumed an expression of happiness reminescent of that of the solar orb in the sky, your oral expressions of adoration are honest. (This is from the chorus). If the legitimate item does not achieve the desired results, a falsifaction that will achieve the desired results must be manufactured quickly. Hope that helps! ---

OK, I’ve been lurking on this thread a few days. How about this one (sorry it’s so long but I couldn’t stop myself): At a time when my age wasn’t as advanced as it is now, not nearly as advanced, assistance was never required from a single person for any reason. At this moment, however, the antecedent times are nonextant and yours truly is much more inhibited. I arrive at the conclusion that my thoughts have been altered and I have made the way possible to enter. If you are able to assist me, do so, for depression has come upon me and I am grateful that you are so close. assist me in putting my 12-inch rulers on the earth where they previously were. I beg you, I implore you to give me your assistance. ---

Ok, this is a fun thread, so I’m going to bump it. Plus, I have an answer. Lamia’s very first one, way back on page 5, _could_ be I Wish I Were, by Davinci’s Notebook, but I doubt it because I don’t know anyone else who’s even heard of them. Ok, clue time. Easy. Do you aspire to be the male personage who causes the soveriegn of heavenly beings to draw a deep and audible breath?
