Load up all your MP3s into your player, hit 'shuffle' and post the opening lyrics of the first fifteen songs that get played (and have lyrics.) Let friends guess which songs are which and keep score.

(I might have been able to resist this silly thing, but I just picked up my new iPod and I hadda test it out _somehow_... right?)

1) Well gonna write a little letter/ Gonna mail it to my local D.J./ It's a rockin' little record /I want my jockey to play (Maniakes: The Beatles - Roll over Beethoven)

2) I am the brainwasher

3) I'm so tired, of playing /Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away / /Leave it to the other girls to play / For I've been a temptress too long

4) Roll up, roll up for the magical mystery tour, step right this way. /Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour. /Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour. (Maniakes: Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour)

5) I beg your pardon, hello darlin' / This is me you're talkin' to/Sit down and tell me about it/You don't have to shout it at me/Tell me what you really want to do

6) I'd travel the road and walk many a mile /To get to the faire, I would use all my guile/ I'd cross o'er the swamps and step on crocodiles (Stitch: Minstrels of Mayhem, A Chance to Sing for the Queen)

7) When I'm walking beside her/People tell me I'm lucky./Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy./I remember the first time/I was lonely without her.

8) I know I'll miss her later/ Wish I could bend my love to hate her/Wish I could be her creator/To twist her arms now

9) Failed to see,/How destructive we can be./Taking without giving back,/'Til the damage can be seen,/ Can you see?

10) Make me a witness /take me out /out of darkness / out of doubt /I won't weigh you down /with good intention

11) i still feel the cold/of long past days/i knew my worth/put in my place/it's no surprise/i realized some time before

12) I had no choice but to hear you/You stated your case time and again/I thought about it (Daedalus: Alanis Morrisette, Head over Feet)

13) Oh yeah, all right /Are you going to be in my dreams/Tonight?

14) I pulled up behind a Cadillac;/We were waiting for the light;/And I took a look at his license plate-/It said, "Just Ice."

15) Swing in this tree/Oh I am bounce around so well/Branch to branch,/limb to limb you see

So, I finally found and read the Chronicles of George. I have a couple of things to say about this:

First, I laugheted my assening off at the whole damnening thing. It was actually an order of magnitude more funny because of the familiarity of the ticketing system - Poly uses Remedy as their workflow manager, so the faux-proximity had me rolling for some reason.

Second, I'd be crying if I'd actually had to deal with those kind of tickets. Even Long, one of the senior admins who Just Doesn't Do English Well, had better ability to communicanate than that.

Third, I'm havening too much fun witht he terriblethings that George does to English.

Fourth, I particularly like the response to this question in the FAQ:

I don't particularly care for the amount of sarcasm and general nastiness displayed on this site!

Shut up. And fuck off. Talk to me at work, where I'm paid to be courteous and agreeable. No one is paying me to be nice on my web site. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.
