Since titles are taken from hymns, I'd suggest "Oh God". which of course is short for "Oh God, Our Help In Ages Past".

If we relax the constraint on titles to be only hymn lines, I'd suggest "Heaven, I'm in Heaven" -- to be sung of course by Cayleb and Sharleyan.

Just kidding :)

David does NOT write "Bodice Rippers!" :roll:


Bodice ripper? Fred Astaire does not sing Bodice Rippers to Ginger Rogers! So it certainly wouldn't be the title of one! And certainly Cayleb and Sarleyan expressed the desire to be "Dancing Cheek to Cheek"

Cheek to Cheek - By Irving Berlin, from Top Hat, 1935

or as Fred wrote afterwards in a parody and apology:
"Feathers — I hate feathers
And I hate them so that I can hardly speak
And I never find the happiness I seek
With those chicken feathers dancing
Cheek to Cheek"

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Next Book? Well if RFC stepped up the rate of his pacemaker and his publishers got their finger out maybe 2016.
On a separate matter I note that many people refer to "God". Which mythical being are the referring too?
Timings of contributions and made in some unknown time zone. Why not use GMT which is the standard??

Oh, all right, no bodice rippers. Sigh.

If it's hymns, how about "When the Saints Come Marching In"? For rock hymns, how about "Going to the Temple and They're/Going to Get Bu - u - uried"? Or "Bye, Bye, Mr. Clyntahn Zhaspahr" (took my Haarald to the Temple but the Temple was dry?)?

I guess we'll just have to make do with "Amazing Grapeshot, How Sweet the Sound". :|

I hereby nominate "Our Help in Ages Past" to the hypothetical interquel novel detailing the Pei's "other arrows" before and during the War Against the Fallen.

Or for the one where The Thing Under The Temple wakes up. It doesn't have to be a hymn the heroes would be singing. :twisted:

How about...

"Marching to Zion" by Isaac Watts since David does not build the story around the lyrics and it is about time to move this conflict to resolve so they can get about the real business of the colony

Another quote from Onward, Christian Soldiers?

At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee

Maybe not that exactly, but something along that line.

After all, the good guys are going up against the Mighty Host, right?

And the expectation is that they are going to be routed, i.e., flee, correct?

What do you think?
