**Whoooooooooo are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?** Well, my name is Dan. I’m 41. I work in tech support. Problem is that I’m just not sure this question is addressed directly to me! This keeps me awake at night… **Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day?** Well, no. I had to look her up on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_lynn), actually. But that doesn’t answer the question… anybody?? **What’s your name? Who’s your daddy? Is he rich? Is he rich like me?** Well, my daddy’s name is Dad. My name, as I said, is Dan. Dad is doing OK, he’s retired, and planned well; additionally, my mother passed away quite suddenly, so the money they had saved together in planning for their retirement should be keeping him quite well (as he’s only got one to care for instead of two…). But again, is this question addressed directly to _me_? I have a feeling that it isn’t… so it remains unresolved. **Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older? The we wouldn’t have to wait so long. Wouldn’t it be nice to be together in the kind of world where we belong?** Uh… this one really bothers me. I mean, what are Brian Wilson’s intentions? I mean, if he just wants to hang out and drink beer; yeah, that might be nice! But what if he’s talking about romance and/or sex? I have given this great thought. I realize that human sexuality is a spectrum like so: [---------------------------------------] Heterosexual Bi Homosexual But I am firmly here: [X--------------------------------------] Heterosexual bi Homosexual Given that, would it be nice giving him a hummer? Or taking it up the pooper? My instinctive response is an emphatic NO. But what if he were to bargain… what if he offered me a million dollars? Hmm… no. Say he had complete control of Scarlett Johannson, Liv Tyler, and Lacy Chaubert, and promised me unrestricted access when Brian and I were finished? N… hmmm… Hmmm… No wonder I have insomnia Any others? ---

Who Are You is the one I was going to mention. Darnit. Others: **Who wants to live forever?** I wouldn’t mind it, to be honest. **Why don’t we do it in the road?** … Because we’ll get run over? Who cares if anybody will be watching us, there’s CARS on the road, dude. ---

**Where have all the flowers gone?** Well, here in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s getting to be winter, so many of them have died or gone dormant, waiting for the spring. Down south, it’s heading into the warmer seasons, and so probably there are a lot of lfowers there. But they haven’t really _gone_ there - there are simply more flowers there now. It’s not a travel thing. ---

Some of my favorite political songs… **Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?** Dudes, it wouldn’t make sense to send the commander-in-chief of your military to the front lines; while a hands-on approach is probably a good thing, the implications of his/her capture or death are not pleasant. **Is all the world jails and churches?** No, there’s grocery stores too. I was there just last week to get some milk. ---
