She's got answers to questions I would not dare to ask
But for now, let's stick to the answers to last week's Friday Fun, shall we?
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
"Afternoons and Coffeespoons" by Crash Test Dummies, guessed by NJ
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
"Mystery" by Indigo Girls, unguessed
When you're done
With being beautiful and young
When that course is run, then come to me
"I'll be That Girl" by Barenaked Ladies, guessed by Commander Pop
She's ten the hard way
I can feel it in my bones
"Good Run of Bad Luck" from the Maverick Movie Soundtrack. I knew no one would get this.
Across the sea, a pale moon rises
The ships have come, to carry you home
"Into the West" by Annie Lennox from the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, guessed by CompuGeek.
They put me in jail for my deviant ways
Two years, seven months, and sixteen days
"I Feel So Good" by Richard Thompson, guessed by D. O. D.
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
Left this morning from the bell at Gardner's Bay
"Downeaster Alexa" by Billy Joel, guessed by Flip.
(Sidenote--does the "Alexa" sink in that song, or not? I've never been able to figure that out)
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And slipped into your dreams
"Pancho and Lefty," by Townes Van Zandt, guessed by Flip.
Sometimes I see your face
The stars seem to lose their place
"Why Should I Cry For You?" by Sting. I kind of thought This Guy would get this one, but I guess he decided not to play.
Asked myself what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it?
I couldn't answer.
"Blue" by Yoko Kanno, guessed (of course) by Flip. Totally put this one in just for him. Or, I suppose, This Guy, but I knew Flip would beat him to it.

I don't think so. I believe this song is one of those early 80s 'this traditional job is dying' songs...like Mellencamp's "Rain on the Scarecrow" and like half of Springsteen's work =). The disaster I think he fears is not a storm or rocks, but the bank and the creditors.

Yeah, there is the dying out of the old-time fishermen, but--
"Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis/And I still have my hands on the wheel"Sounds like it wrecks? Or maybe he's just addressing the ever-present fear of a wreck? Or maybe I'm spending entirely too much time thinking about what is, in the end, only a pretty good Billy Joel song?
"You will go with the crew. The officers and I will submerge beneath you, and scuttle the ship."
"You'll receive the Order of Lenin for this, Captain."
This Guy
(Come on, it was either that or "AT THIS WATER'S TEMPERATURE, YOU'LL ONLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR MINUTES!" I'm confident that I made the right choice.)
Please Hold Still, i'll have you know i have never played EverQuest, and i do not throw eight-sided-dice compulsively. in fact, i rarely threw eight-sided even when i did throw... theif / rogue character class is a 6 sided die for hit points and pretty much all of the hit/miss and saves are rolled against a 20 sided die.
... you've got me on the other two though...
CompuGeek
sorry, that should have been addressed to Hold Still Please
