**TeaRoses** got it quick… that was a lot more fun to compose than it should have been. Let’s try another: You extend your arm to me. You greet me in a powerful, formal manner. You then proceed to deliver a monologue, describing the best chance you have to enter the business in a successful manner. You first attempt to seduce me, with the likelyhood that our congress will injure me in a serious manner. Then, when you discover that you have gained all the advantages I can bestow upon you, you leave me callously. ---

All right, one more. _Oh, lover whose name reminds one of old plays by medieval playwrights; the gambling devices were charged from the point of inauguration And I lay a wager, and you detonated within the confines of my cardiovascular muscle And I misremember, I misremember; the chanson belonging to the motion picture At which point in time will you commence comprehending that the sole incorrect parameter was the mere instance, oh lover whose name reminds one of old plays by medieval playwrights?_ Can’t make it any easier than that. 🙂 ---

He was within his domicile, creating images by the use of variously colored implements. These images depicted the peaks of geographic features generally formed by the collision and upthrust of tectonic plates. Upon the apex of one of the peaks he placed himself, along with a globe the color of a sour citrus fruit. His upper appendages were extended at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical on either side, and the corpses were strewn about in large volumes of gore beneath his feet. ---

Wow-you step away from the keyboard to get some shut-eye, and look what happens- Post Explosion! Yeah, my last one was “Surfin’ Bird”, (Lindarielle13, you had the right song, wrong title) but Terminator, you should be aware that the Ramones covered that one, it was originally done by the Trashmen. And I’ll get your song yet… Available light-congradulate your hubby! And don’t worry, be happy! # SeGate, is that Shaggy or Shaun Paul? “Unseal the chamber, progress onto the horizontal open space within- all assembled personages perform gyrations analogously similar to a long extinct reptillian life form perambulating.” “I was slain by Thanatos incarnate, I was slain by Thanatos incarnate!” "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. ---

OK, I’m reposting these with some hints, since no one’s even tried them. 1. Existing and expiring, being jovial and expressing sorrow, a singular viewing will alter you permanently. (Hint: The Four Horsemen) 1. I am unable to tolerate this any further, verbalizing the same sentiments I previously expressed, each of these collections of syllables, they lack coherence, I have located contentment in uneducation.

Ack! Sorry for the double post… and for the first one (A diagnosis from the DSM-IV is not the issue. It is merely a state of minor disequilibrium. I am aware that it is impossible for you to evaluate concurrently.) think of a song that’s on the radio a LOT right now. And it’s not the verse, it’s the chorus.
