**Aslan** : Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb. Should you have second thoughts regarding your current situation, I would like to be considered a high priority, as I remain unattached - it would behoove you to forgoe benefit-cost analysis and proceed with the merger. ---

D’oh! I can’t beleive I screwed up Baby’s got back! Ludovic-I know yours was a Green Day song, but I don’t know any of their titles. You bastard!!! Terminator-Elton John’s “Saturday Night’s Allright (for fighting)”? “Here in my internal combustion powered vehicle, I am quiescent. I can secure all areas of ingress/egress-I can absorb your verbal maunderings.” “I feel an absence of negative nervous stimuli-your form diminishes with distance, akin to the byproduct of an oceangoing vessel’s boiler emissions. Your presence appears as if lapping at my shore.” ---

Dooku-I gotta side with Aslan on the Ramones answer… “Combustion byproduct blanketing a body of liquified oxygen dihydride, selfsame combustion also visible overhead” “If you pay attention to those of lesser intellect, the congolmeration of idiots reigns supreme!” “If the excess precipitation continues indefinitely, the manmade water barrier will collapse. (repeat)” ---

Nobody guessed mine. ☹ Oh well, here’s another. “Delicate fabric in a web-like pattern, created in a certain and specific northern village in France, combined with a pleasing countenance and a length of hair pulled together… gyrations of all sort are the impetus for the rotation and orbit of Sol’s third planet.” ---
