burntcopperah, the evilness of memes... Today at work, we played 'guess the song after we processed the lyrics in our brains! (no thesauruses or language translators allowed)'
Let's see if you can...
This is a tale explaining the manner in which My way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started If I could have 60 seconds of your time, simply place your posterior in the selected location And I will relate to you the details of how I was made the male monarch of the district of the City of Los Angeles, California commonly referred to as Bel-Air (coordinates 34.08333 -118.44778)
In the western region of the “City of Brotherly Love” known as Philadelphia my mother expelled me from her womb and indeed that is also where I spent my childhood in my mother’s care The majority of my time was spent in a recreational area containing such diversions as a jungle gym, swing set, sand box, etc. I was typically at the height of leisure while frequently at a temperature slightly below what might be considered standard room temperature Outside of my educational institution I was engaging in a game of basketball with some of my friends When a couple of gentlemen who seemed to be of the disposition to cause a great deal of mischief Began causing a great deal of chaos and disharmony in the area in which I lived I was involved in one rather small bout of fisticuffs after which my mother became concerned for my general safety and well-being And she informed me that I would be moving in with her sister and her sister’s husband in the previously mentioned community of Bel-Air
I implored my mother to relent approximately 24-48 hours ago Yet she gathered my belongings in a somewhat flat, rectangular shaped piece of luggage and expelled me from her presence She placed her lips upon my cheek in an affectionate manner and handed me a pre-purchased pass for public transportation I placed the headphones for my personal music system into my ears and verbalized the idea that I may as well impact this situation with my foot Traveling in the highest available level of comfort, this is indeed an unfortunate situation (although I make this statement with some irony) Consuming the juices obtained by the squeezing of the fruit of a Citrus sinensis from a piece of glass stemware commonly reserved for the sipping of sparkling wine originating from the Champagne region of France I pause to wonder if this is indeed how the residents of the admittedly upper-class neighborhood of Bel-Air commonly live Indeed I find this situation may be rather to my enjoyment
I puckered my lips and exhaled forcefully to produce a shrill note in order to gain the attention of a taxicab driver and as the driver approached I observed his California vanity plate which in place of the traditional jumble of alpha-numeric characters, used only the letters F, R, E, S, and H, spelling out the word “fresh” and from his rearview mirror dangled a pair of oversized, fur-covered cubes decorated to look like the six-sided dice commonly used in gambling and board games In such a situation I could have made a statement about the unusualness of this particular taxicab to the point of it being nearly unique Instead I cogitatively decided against it and instead informed the driver that he should deliver me to what was to become my new home in the community of Bel-Air
We pulled up to a large domicile sometime between the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock And in a loud tone of voice I informed the cab driver that at some undetermined point in the future I would again detect his odor through my sense of olfaction I gazed about the region of land that I was destined to rule, reflecting on my arrival Where I would claim my rightful place upon the throne, from which I would govern the community of Bel-Air as monarch.
We were forced to respond.
1. An explosion occurs, causing the space in which we are residing to vibrate extensively. The sound of a device used to measure time resonates four times, and another explosion occurs. - Boom Shake the Room
2. I'm feeling somewhat confused, my head is rotating in a circular motion, like a tornado made of water particles, it extends to eternity. - Dizzy
3. Besides, you may set alight to the domicile I reside in, acquire unlawfully the vehicle I drive, imbibe the beverage I possess made from fermented vegetable parts using an antique glass storage device, though I reiterate : pray, do not attempt not to place your feet heavily on foot coverings i possess made of dyed buffed cowskin. - Blue Suede Shoes
4. Young woman with disreputable moral standing, young woman with disreputable moral standing, Don't provide me of any incorrect statement of the facts, pray inform me at what location did you slip into your nightly comatose in the last period of darkness.
In the small valley, in the small valley, where darkness always seems to be present, I spent the night in a reflex reaction to the cold. - Nirvana, Where did you sleep last night
5. Increase the level and speed of the audio track I am presently playing, strike the female canine forcefully in an upwards motion. - Prodigy, Smack my bitch up
6. I find it unbearable, and I am aware that you were the mastermind behind it. I'm interested in making this issue linear, this issue that is vaugley similar to a scandalous robbery from a hotel. I find guitar music unbearable when I am in this location. Your see through glass like sphere is not very see through afterall! So while you recline and ponder the reasons, I have a large pointy thing in my border. Oh wow, it is a hullcination. I'm expressing my opinion to you. It is the deliberate destruction or damage of equipment in order to hinder a particular group. - Sabotage, Beastie Boys
7. A calamitous emotional event has occurred. When you mislay your grip on on events and fail to possess an inner spiritual awareness, we believe it to be said calamitous emotional event. When the time of day before noon arrives and you are puzzled, it's difficult to cope when alone and bereft, you have no direction and appear to be stuck in one place. - Tragedy
8. It is a sugar-coated, liquorice composition for orchestra, this existence. An attempt is made to stay above the poverty line but one finds that they become just another rat in an endless race before they reach their inevitable death. - Bittersweet Symphony
9. It felt as though my time on this sphere was a war. A young woman would find this situation humorous, causing my skin to flush and a tosser would guffaw and I'd strike him severaly about the noggin. I say unto thee, existence is difficult for a young male after a legal action. - A Boy Named Sue
10. the performance must continue, although I'm having a cardiac arrest deep within, my slap appears to be dissolving but my rictus is unchanged. - The Show Must Go On
11. you're severely attempting to hide your emotional status, child, however infant I'm cognisant of this state. your happy emotional state has been mislaid, that warmth of presence. that state of adoration has been dropped, forever mislaid. I cannot continue further. - You've Lost that Loving Feeling
Let's see if you can...
