> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\*Spot on, **available light**! Rush fan, by any chance? 🙂 \*\* Yes, I am! I hoped you were too when I saw your username, but was too chicken to ask in case it was not a Rush reference at all, but a reference to some scientific phenomenon that I had never heard of. And, if it actually is, then I feel like an idiot now. Anyway, on the assumption that you’re a fellow Rush fan, here’s one for you: “My emotional state is like unto yours, had you been present. The current circumstances forbid comprehension.” And, for those -gasp- non-Rush-fans out there, a couple more: “At this time I require the provision of a skilled attorney to protect my due process rights as set forth in the 5th and 14th amendments to the US Constitution, the cause of which being my self-perception that I am a violator of the penal code.” “If one is desirous of giving amorous or affectionate contact of the mouth to the upper atmosphere which forms a vault over the earth, a necessary condition precedent is the acquisition of the knowledge of resting one’s body weight upon the patellas of the person of the first.” I knew that law school education would come in handy! 😛 This is addictive. I will be back soon with more! Ha ha ha! Oh-and, **MrBoy1967** , he will see your congratulations himself, as my husband is **sturmhauke**. See, I’m more devious than you thought, since I stole his answer and posted it before he could! (Sorry honey!) ---

Nice one, because it could almost have been “I fought the law, and the law won” (Bobby Fuller Four, I think?) except for the present tense of the Mellencamp song and the “unceasingly” or “always”. Clever! ---
