Ok, I can’t remember if this one has been done before, and anyways if it has, it was long enough ago that a recap should be done. What is your personal themesong? The music that you hear in your head when you think about yourself as an actor in the film of life. * * * \>\>Nomex underwear is optional for dragons. \<\< —The dragon observes ---

At the moment: Where is my Mind? by The Pixies. In general: I’ve yet to find one. Submissions accepted. * * * A little persistance goes a long way. Announcing: “I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig! ---

Some strange polka music. Should never have pissed off that gypsy woman huh? A suggestion for a new one would be greatly apreciated. Osip * * * There’s not a single grey hair on my soul, nor senile tenderness either. I’ve shaken the world with my voice’s power: There I go handsome, Twenty-two years old -Mayakovsky- ---

Mine would be Breathe by Moist I guess. And Affirmation by Savage Garden. * * * Never run from anything immortal, it attracts their attention. _Brought to you by the Amazon woman of Canada._ ---

Most of the time it’s _Journey of the Sorcerer_ by the Eagles. When I’m confronted with a Catastrophic Lack Of Planning incident at work, it’s appropriate to replace it with John Williams’ _Imperial March_. “Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them…” No, not really. But the Dark Side _is_ seductive… 😉 * * * “It’s a sunny little doomed planet, inhabited by a number of frisky little doomed animals.” ---

Mine is “Because” by The Beatles. Most of you probably know it, even if you are not a Beatles fan because it is the song playing at the end of American Beauty. Either that or “The Bitch is Back” ha ha, J/K 🙂 * * * “The bitch, oh the bitch, the bitch is back…I’m a bitch cuz I’m better then you, it’s the way that I move The things that I do…” Elton John “People try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend…” The Moody Blues “To start, press any key. Where’s the any key?” Homer Simpson. ---

Mostly “I’m only sleeping” by the Beatles But also “Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguillera, and “Smooth” by Santana * * * I do not merely dance. I bewitch. I seduce. I enchant and I bewilder. Throw money. (Gee, Wally must have seen me dance!) ---

Can’t think of anything for myself, but I’ll say _One Billion Bottles of Beer on the Wall_ for Wally. * * * “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” - Adam Smith ---

“Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger: “I’m not sick but I’m not well…” And that used to just describe my _mind_; now my _body_ has gotten into the act as well.

Whenever I’m getting ready for a date or other potentially humiliating experience, I like to listen to a few rounds of John Williams’ _Superman_ theme. However, since the last date I went on we discussed the recently completed Panama Canal, maybe it doesn’t count. * * * - Blessed are the Fundamentalists, for they shall inhibit the earth. \* ---

I’ve never been able to narrow it down to one. Sorta depends on circumstances and mood. In The Mood by DBQ: for rare mature moments Bach’s 3rd Brandenberg: for when I’m upset Short People by Randy Newman: when some ass makes me feel moose-like about my height. This is not reflecting well on my character OR musical tastes. Veb ---

Hey, **TVEB!** How’s the weather up there? For me, “The Young Fresh Fellows Theme Song” by the Young Fresh Fellows. Or “The Village Green Preservation Society” by the Kinks. Or “Mr. Apollo” by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Or “Codine” by the Charlatans. ---
