“It’s like, if you don’t check Fred’s blog before noon on Friday, there’s no point in playing.” – Sharon

Just for her*, I waited about six hours for this week’s Friday Random Guess Ten:

  1. And when you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you home
  2. When you look inside, all you’ll see is a self-reflected inner sadness
    “It’s Summertime” by the Flaming Lips, guessed by Eric
  3. It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
    “Back in the High Life Again” by Steve Winwood, guessed by Betty
  4. The questions run too deep for such a simple man
    “Logical Song” by Supertramp, guessed by Betty
  5. The higher that the monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail
    “Misery is the River of the World” by Tom Waits, guessed by Remi
  6. You don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
    “People Get Ready” by Eva Cassidy (or others), guessed by Eric
  7. I need to know if you were real
  8. There’s a silence surrounding me
    “Keep Talking” by Pink Floyd, guessed by Kim and Betty and Eric
  9. We laughed in the faces of kings never afraid to burn
    “Little Earthquakes” by Tori Amos, guessed by John
  10. It’s the nukes that the must go and not me

The last of last week’s lyrics were #8 (“Iieee” by Tori Amos) and #10 (“Lonesome Valley” by Pete Seeger — or others, as it’s a pretty well-covered folk tune). As always, good luck guessing!

* And not because my boss was in the office today and I was actually quite busy at work all afternoon. No, not that at all.

Knowing full well it’ll probably skew my site referrers even more so than usual, I offer some spam I just received, the subject header “Former President Bill Klinton uses Voagra!”:

Everybody knows the great sexual scandal known as “Klinton-Levinsky”.
After the relations like this Klintons popularity raised a lot!
It is a natural phenomenon, because Bill as a real man in order not to
shame himself when he was with Monica regularly used Voagra.
What happened you see. His political figure became more bright and more attractive.
It is very important for a man to be respected as a man!

I first read that as “Klingon.” Maybe that’s why I found it so amusing.
