"Some houses are built to last
It's the couple inside that change too fast"

from "Beautiful Girl" by Pete Droge And The Sinners, written by Pete Droge and Dave Stewart, theme song to the criminally underrated movie "Beautiful Girls". Better luck next time, Crimestoppers.
And what luck, next time is right now !!!

And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears"

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!!

Name That Lyric:Episode LIII: Sara Sidle Is Invading My Dreams !!!

So, I guess I had dream last night...I don't really remember it, but the one thing i do remember about it is that in the dream I was discussing the season finale of CSI(which was on last night, and pretty good, by the way) and for some reason, the ending we were discussing was NOT how the show ended. It was like we were discussing what had happened AFTER the episode had ended. It was kind of weird. I think it's best to not think too much about it.

Oh well, onto the game !!!


We have a winner from last week !!! The lovely and talented Kellie correctly identified

"I'm gonna be leaving
At the break of dawn
Wish you could come
But I don't need no woman taggin' along"

from "Heard It In A Love Song" by The Marshall Tucker Band. Brava, Kellie, Brava !!!!

Which actually is another song that I misheard lyrics to: In the chorus, they sing that they "heard it in a love song..Can't be wrong." For the longest time, I thought he said "ten feet long." I have no idea what that was supposed to mean, but I thought that was the lyric.


Now this week's clue:

"Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windows to
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through"

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!!!!

"Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way"

from "Would ?" by Alice In Chains. Avalon misidentified the song as "Flood" by Alice In Chains, but due to the correct identification of the band, and 60% of the correct letters from the song title, the judges have decided to award half credit. Brava, Avalon, Brava.

"Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way"

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!!

Where's the remote ?

Name That Lyric Episode XLVIII: A Little Bit Of This, A Little Bit Of That...

First of all, I want to say a fond farewell to Mr. Kurt Vonnegut, who died yesterday. A brilliant mind, a brilliant wit. Some of the best books ever written(Breakfast Of Champions, Slaughterhouse Five, Mother Night, Deadeye Dick). There is a great quote from Deadeye Dick that someone reads off of a bathroom wall, and it contains three quotes, I remember the quotes(I think) and one of the speakers, but I do not remember the other two(I know they are philosophers), so when I find my copy of Deadeye Dick, I will share it with you properly, but here is the bastardized version that is in my brain:

"To do is to be"
"To be is to do"
" Do be do be do"- Frank Sinatra

Rest in Peace, Mr. Vonnegut, you will be missed.

A g=fare well to one comic genius, and a Happy Birthday to another- Happy 60th birthday to David Letterman, the true heir to Johnny Carson. An absolute genius. Have some toast on a stick and some Hudson River Jell-O on me.

Okay, on with the game...


We have a winner from last week, the lovely and talented Miss Ann Thrope correctly identified

"Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time"

as being from "Sway" by the Rolling Stones, what I believe to possibly be their finest song ever. Brava, Miss Ann, Brava !!!!

Onto this week's clue:

"Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way"

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!

Name That Lyric:Episode XLVII: Crater Follow-Up...

So, I got a phone call from the dermatologists' office yesterday. Yeah, that was a bad sign, as I recall the nurse saying to me as I left after the biopsy(two moles on my back), "If there's something there, we'll call you, if it's nothing, we'll send you a letter." Unless it was opposite day(and my calender indicated it wasn't-though apparently, all day yesterday, I was rubber and you were glue, so anything you said would bounce off of me and stick to you), that meant that the biopsy had shown "something".

She asked how I was, and I nervously responded,"well, you're calling me, so not all that good I guess" And she chuckled at that.Then she told me that they had the results of my tests, and that "...the specimen from your right midline...blah blah blah..." Okay, she did not actually say "blah blah blah"but she did go into the technical medical description of what was wrong, which I did not understand, so "blah blah blah" is a s good as anything for what she said.

Apparently, the cells did not look good, and they were attached to the edges of the sample, which means that there are more on my back. They are "pre-cancerous", which I guess is good. they just need to hollow out my back a bit more(I guess maybe an ice cream scoop this time, instead of a melon baller ?) and get the rest of the moles.

I then asked this question "So, is this something I need to freak out about ?" And she assured me that it was not, that she had actually had one of these and has never had anymore problems, i just need to get regular skin checks. So, I guess I got the best of the bad news I could have gotten. So that's good.

So I go in on April 23rd to get the rest of the moles removed. Whoo-hoo !!!

Now, onto the game.

We have a winner from last week !! the lovely and talented Aaron correctly identified

"It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me:'Stick a fork in their ass and turn 'em over, they're done.' "

from "Last Great American Whale" by Lou Reed. Bravo, Aaron, Bravo !!!!

Onto this week's lyric:

" Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time"

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!

Name That Lyric:Episode XLVI:So, I Have Two Craters In My Back

I'm serious.

My Special Lady noticed that I had some new moles on my back recently, so after a regular Doctor, oh, I'm sorry, a Primary Care Physician appointment and a few rounds of back and forth with the dermatologists' office, I was in yesterday for a "skin check" and a biopsy of the moles.

Now, I was told that it would be a "stick biopsy", I think. Whatever he called it, my Doc...Primary Care Physician, said that it was a simple little thing.

Yeah...Um...No, it wasn't. First of all, they numbed the area with ICE first-How 1700's is THAT ? I thought they were going to use leeches next. Thankfully, there were no leeches. They shot me up with some local anesthetic, and they were on their way. And to be honest, the biopsy didn't hurt at all. They sent me on my way, telling me that if there was "a problem"(the code word for cancer, I guess) they would call me, and if it was nothing, I would get a letter in the mail.

I went about my day. I was kind of expecting my back to start hurting, but it never really did. It twinged a bit when I got in the car to drive home at the end of the day, but it was not terrible pain or anything. It hurt a bit off and on during the evening, but nothing too bad. So, I figured that it was no big deal.

Until I saw my back in the mirror when I was brushing my teeth for bed. For a second I thought that I had just been shot in the back. I had two HUUGE holes back there. I reached around and discovered that I could actually put the tip of my finger in there. YIKES !!!

I had assumed that the Dr. had taken a little slice of the mole, but apparently he had hollowed me out with a melon baller! It freaked me out, man. The Band-Aids had fallen off when I got home, but I figured they probably weren't necessary anymore. Now, I realize I'm probably lucky that one of my kidneys didn't fall out of one of the crevasses in my back !! I feel all weird now. Like there's some sort of portal into my soul or something. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but there are definitely craters in my back. I just thought you would like to know.

Well, on with the game, I guess.

No winner from last week, nobody recognized that

"In this theater that I call my soul
I always play the starring role"

is from "So Lonely" by the recently(at least temporarily)reformed Police.

Onto this week's lyric:
"It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me:
'Stick a fork in their ass and turn 'em over, they're done.' "

Good luck, Crimestoppers !!
