“I Think”
I Think thongs are really a huge problem
I Think boxers are too much on my mind
I Think briefs have got a lot to do with why the world sucks
But what can you do?
Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like a Whitman line, which won’t let go of my brain
Like my ex’s ass, it is in my head
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants
I Think wedgies are gonna drive us all crazy
And bikini bottoms make me feel like a child
I Think granny pants will eventually be the downfall of civilization
But what can you do? I said what can you do?
Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like a Whitman line, which won’t let go of my brain
Like my ex’s ass, it is in my head
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants
Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like my ex’s smile, cruel and cold
Like Whitman’s ass, it is in my head
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants
Blame it on under pants

Well, Ithink I’m too frightened to respond to the second part, but my acronym was:
**L** ifelike **E** ntity **S** killed in **A** ssasination and **N** octurnal **G** ratification. (How can you pass up an opportunity to flaunt skills like that? 😉 )

The site imposes a limit of 7 characters for a name, so **Nostra** gives:
**N** etworked **O** bedient **S** abotage and **T** erran **R** epair **A** ndroid
Furthermore, **Cecil** is revealed as:
**C** ybernetic **E** lectronic **C** alculation and **I** nfiltration **L** ifeform
How do they know these things?

**D.A.R.W.I.N.S.** - Digital Artificial Replicant Wanting Infiltration and Nocturnal Sabotage
**F.I.N.C.H.** - Functional Intelligent Nocturnal Calculation Humanoid
Here, we see a cyborg in conflict. While he is both functional and intelligent, and has an adequate night job performing calculations, he desires more. He wants to be a CyberSpy, dammit! Note that he is undoubtedly well-equipped for this calling, as he is currently nocturnal (which is probably why he is posting this at 2:51 am), and would seek to remain so when performing his duties of sabotage.

Heh. I like it.
My puppy is **S.I.G.G.E.: Synthetic Individual Generated for Galactic Exploration**.
Individual Generated for Galactic Exploration I can agree with (he’ll examine anything within his reach), but are Synthetic Individuals supposed to leave puddles on the floor?
