> [@glowacks](#): > > (a) > > It is possible that a female magic user with extensive experience might vocalize in your direction in order that you might rise up out of the dregs of sorrow you have been experiencing due to an unfortunate incident that involved you not living up to your promises. Then she might take apart one of your internal organs before putting it back together to form a crystallized mass of divine favor that occurs only in one’s head. The entirety of this might be accomplished using melodic audible entertainment that approached your position at high velocity from a point a considerable distance away. If this happens, you should acquire the gustatory sensation of a portion of the developed plant ovaries of mankind, which had its actions put onto some sort of medium from which it could be later retrieved while it was becoming devoid of all the possessions it previous had that were opposed to the period of time it was experiencing. “Close to the Edge,” Yes > [@](#): > > (c) > > During one of the time periods that will occur in the not-too-distant future in which the closest celestial object fusing hydrogen shall make its apparent transit of the sky, I shall endeavor to use sharp tools on your physical body with my object being that the resulting continuous chunks of matter that previously made up your body will be rather small in size. “One of These Days (I’m going to cut you into little pieces),” Pink Floyd ---

Those people you were expecting to return to their domicile before the sun rises again will be unable to complete their journey. Small flakes of frozen water fall in large quantities.

The metallic portions of the toroidal contrivances in the undercarriage of my horseless carriage do not at any time have angular momentum in the opposite direction from the whole of said devices; in fact, if you endeavor to discover, it will become clear to you that they do not have any momentum at all [separate from the whole]. The entire gross of my diminutive models of vim are small fruits generally regarded to be bloody in color and sweet to the taste. A disabled theoretical scientist can be found in the place where I often stop to peruse my volumes of written material.

Not mine, but I can’t imagine how the thread has gone without it (and it’s nearly in perfect meter with the original!): Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific, Fain would I fathom thy nature specific.

I am and will eternally persist in being a member of the highest echelon of my community’s social hierarchy. Indeed, it is said that the festivities put on by yours truly are so well-renowned as to be divinely inspired. The halls I have designated for these specific festivities invariably meet their capacity with regard to the density of human individuals occupying those halls at the given time of these events. Thus it can be concluded that not even on one single occasion has any of my festivities been of anything but the largest proportions, and this is corroborated by the periodicals which circulate among my social group. I host social events of the largest magnitude and most lascivious nature. Many others in my acquaintance have hosted events of a similar calibre but none of such grand stature as ours. ---

(Probably difficult): It is clear that though you may have acquaintances aplenty, your closer relationships are limited to such an extent that of this subgroup I am the only member. You have many relationships of mutual affection and personal regard. However I am personally one who gives you assistance and support while being incandescent. Regardless I am not on good terms with you. _Ergo sum._ Beryl poisonous gas indicator inside the electrical connector nearest the device for enabling a constant stream of photons, That, on occasion, turns eyes in my direction from above, Please retain a domicile for avians in a theological portion of yourself that you contain. ---

Though I’m a late-comer to the thread, I agree that these are often made much harder due to the fact that I’m not familiar with the song being quoted. I’ve gotten one or two that were songs I didn’t know well but had heard, but the majority of those I missed. On the other hand, I got about half of the ones I did know (and did a head slap on the other half when I found out!). I also found out that I’m nowhere near as culturally aware as I had thought I was. The ones I didn’t know outnumbered the ones I did by a huge margin. This is the most fun I’ve had in an online thread in ages. Thanks to everyone for the posts! ---

a. The singer is in the process of leaving port, laying out a vector for the waters off St. Croix, feeling a need for emancipation, in order to encounter his future. On his vessel, he considers himself master, inviting the hearer to join him. He conceives that diligent examination of littorals will lead to the discovery of the next day, and calls on God to witness his pledge of intent to persevere. The singer claims an apparition of the Heavenly Host, which engaged in choral exhortation to join them and the singer in onward navigation, repeating this antiphon some 34 times in all. b. I became disoriented owing to the multitude of thoroughfares. My life goal was jogging and I was jogging to survive, with total financial irresponsibility. Achieving a velocity of 480 MPH during a substantial fraction of a year, violating every flexible regulation, I commenced to find myself on an oft-repeated quest for accommodations. c. An adolescent, I briefly share an age with Lance Kirwin’s character, enggd in reverie and enumerating potential routes to your location. Again briefly a year past my majority, I take delight in the tactile sensations of her as, engged in mutual combustion, we complete the Areological expedition. ---

I prefer my women Callipygean, I cannot tell a falsehood. Disparate gentlemen are unable to renounce the fact that at the times during which a female enters the room, with a slender midsection, and a bulbous protrusion interfering with your field of vision, your penis becomes erect, and you want to remove it from your trousers, for the reason that you are aware that her posterior is filling out her dungarees quite nicely. I am drawn in and I cannot take my eyes off of her. Forsooth, infant, I would like to have sexual intercourse with you, and perhaps immortalize that action in still photography. My companions attempted to dissuade me from these actions, Nonetheless, your posterior has caused me to become quite aroused. Oh, woman who possesses a backside of unwrinkled flesh, would you like to take a ride in my Mercedes? Please take advantage of me, take advantage of me, because you are not the typical woman who attempts to bed a rock or rap star. I have seen those type of women promenading, To the devil with small tokens of affection! ---
