As to your query vis-a-vis the persistent and abrupt manifestation of large number of avian creatures in your immediate vicinity, evidence indicates that there is a deep and fundamental instinct amongst members of class _Aves_ to seek out a position of immediate juxtaposition with regard to yourself. This view is further buttressed by my own similar predisposition to the same.

Nobody’s gotten #41 yet. I wondered if it was too simple also.

I assert proprietary status vis a vis your posterior, and I will indeed aver correctly.  
I issue a challenge to you to make an appearance, particularly featuring your visage, during the regular peak period of ambient external illumination. I threaten injury upon your seat of reason or self. However, in fact I tend to use firearms with the intent to maim alone. Approach me. Approach me. Place some unspecified thing upon my person. Everything is satisfactory.

I issue graduated and limited parameters around which you may comply with my directive to display your strengths or forego any future attempt to engage in conflict with me. I aver to you to be mindful of the content of your speech.

[…]

These assertions are supported by the fact that I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. Approach me.

As you are most familiar, I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. This you are familiar with!

Again these facts are not foreign to you that I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. I’m a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent. Approach me!

Indeed the population of the planet will likewise attest in response to a query at this moment simply to assert to you the identity of the one who is a miscreant with a reputation for being unyielding and violent.

Charge your firearms to capacity with with fresh ammunition and recruit such among your circle of acquaintances with whom you estimate yourself to have a close relationship.  
Despite our society’s tendency to lionize the winner, losing may also provide amusement especially in the form of games of make-believe.  
That woman has a notable lack of self-restraint and an excess of confidence.  
Alas and alack, I’m cognizant of a profane expression that is not acceptable in polite or mixed company.

**Mean Mr. Mustard** already got it (“Heaven & Hell”); **Tethered Kite** also correctly guessed “Roundabout”. Still waiting on #77a & c.

This game’s very hard until you reach that “A-ha!” moment; for instance, I never would have guessed **njtt** ’s “Here Comes the Sun”, but now it seems obvious. 🙂

D) While haulin’ cargo, I’m reminded of a person who likes to hum “Camptown Races”; he has advised me never to fold while playing poker, since doing so would render my cards worthless. Occasionally, I am bathed in sunlight; occasionally, I am almost completely blind. Verily, I reflect upon the fact that this vacation has been quite lengthy and bizarre.

E) I have arrived directly from a notoriously crime-ridden suburb south of Los Angeles. As a psychotic maternal fornicator, you may refer to me as a small, square-shaped chunk of frozen water. I belong to an ensemble of headstrong African-Americans, who utilize a particular moniker which would normally not be permitted for people to speak unless they are also African-American. If someone upsets me, I discharge my two-handed firearm, and the coroner arrives to clean up the mess – this may include you.
