Whichever one is the most flattering is surely about me.

posted by amberglow 13 July | 23:00

iconomy, maybe you're Right By Your Side?

posted by amberglow 13 July | 23:01

eth, we need a list of the possible people so we can mix and match.

posted by amberglow 13 July | 23:02

is that mercy you say?

am i so shallow, amber, one of my favorite semis?
can i or you be summed up in a few words?
and which do you choose?
do you think i purposely cause pain or expose it?
i ain't pi (who i called once camel baby for his hump)
i am not a puzzle beyond the loops of your own mind

let me just say: you ain't getting them all in every way but each has a prime to tertiary meaning
this means you're going to have a hard time being really wrong

last hint for now: taz has a tattoo tit says number thirteen

posted by ethylene 13 July | 23:12

some can only be claimed

posted by ethylene 13 July | 23:13

decryption code: oy gavolt
taz is right by your side prime
it's been etched onto the surface of this site several times already
the chickibee is asleep, i hope

posted by ethylene 13 July | 23:20

but right by your side is my #8.

i'm lost--administrator, hope me! ; >

middle of the night secret post: jonmc's track

posted by ethylene 14 July | 02:23

random third tier answer:
Many rivers to cross
Llorando
I got you
Sealab

see? third tier is easy
but not all the same pattern

posted by ethylene 14 July | 13:08

last tip before i sleep perchance to actually hit rem stage:
think of each as my serenade
and then i may even record a normal audio sample
with a range of intros for radiomechat

posted by ethylene 14 July | 16:21

wow, i'm awake and no one even bothered to
You don't know me
Honey complain
Brazil
City of angels

posted by ethylene 15 July | 04:09

15: geezer
he's mine
don't make me pull out my brass section

posted by ethylene 15 July | 19:51

i know
i know
you belong
to some
body new
but tonight
you belong
to me

although
although
we're apart
you're a part
of my heart
and tonight
you belong to me

way down by the stream
how sweet it would seem
once more just to dream
in the moonlight

my honey i know
i know
with the dawn
that you
will be gone
but tonight
you belong to me
just to little old me

*whips out the horn*

don't scare the missus

PRIME: me to you
TWO: you to me
