All right, misirlou. Thou hast thrown down the gauntlet and, verily, I shall answer thy query. BEHOLD!!!

1) System of a Down - Question!: The question is this... How does a "mainstream" metal band go about creating a song that is poignantly philosophical without coming across as heavy-handed, preachy, or simply pedantic? The answer: this freakin' song.

I am pleased, especially with your listing of Tiger Army. My plan has begun to unfold like a house of cards- checkmate!

Again, I say!

A) It's my turn to what? What sorta monkeyhoop do I have to navigate this time? You didn't actually say what - "Green elf needs food badly."

B) Contact me at the very next opportunity, no matter the time, or suffer the direst of consequences. Dire, I say!

Yes.
I will be unable, sad to say, to join you in that apartment. In fact, due to medical problems and the loss of yet another cheap-ass car, my return to Reichmond has been further delayed by at least 4-6 months.

Unthinkable!

Damn you! Well then, thanks for the news. This will speed up my searchings. Dogspeed your journeys.

...and what is it I'm supposed to do as a part of your twisted chain letter thingy again?

Sorry about the incommunicado. Car died, work got real nasty, I got the gout, Aunt Margie died, brother graduated High School...not in that order, but it's been an eventful month.

6 songs that you've been obsessing over recently, and why.
