When I was a kid (well, okay, when I was in high school), we used to play this game. Someone writes out a fragment of a song - usually but not always four lines - and someone else tries to guess what character or relationship the first person picked the song for.

So, for instance, I might post:

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Upon the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold...

And someone else might reply to the post with:

"Oh, I know! That one is for Javier and Eloise!"

And then the person who replied would write out their own song lyrics.

Anyone interested? If so, have at ye!

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Pretty much the entire Grand Alliance could be chanting that song in unison, actually, but... Honor Harrington?

Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire...

You got it. But, yes, it could represent many situations from Basilisk Station to Pavel Young, to Randy Steilman, to Iris Babcock to ...


Now, could you be whistling about Eloise and Javier everytime he hypers out of system?

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy

It is eerily applicable to Eloise and Javier, isn't it? :mrgreen: (Like, oh, every other song I hear. Go figure.)

But it's actually Aivars and Sinead. I know, I know, who'd have expected me to kick this off with them, right? :mrgreen:

Tom Theisman Ashes of Victory?

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near...

Tom, correct again.

I'm grinning. This has to be Estelle's goo goo eyes for Khumalo?

Ok, although another easy one. Don't care, can't resist ...
Oops. I did it again...

Almost! It's actually Khumalo's goo goo eyes for Estelle. :mrgreen: (Augustus Khumalo is a goddamn sap when he's in love. You just know he would be.)

SHANNON!!!! :mrgreen:

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed...

Let's turn up the heat juuust a tad ...
We are never ever ever, getting back together.
WE, are never ever ever ... getting back together. Like ...Ever!

Although, the holidays, full-blast karaoke, Taylor Swift, my sisters, nieces, and their friends, has this ditty running an endless loop in my head.
