Can someone help me pick out a name for me?

.Screwdriver Autopsy

'You are the love of my life...first, and last, husband.
We'll be together till the end of time...
I'll wash your Gold Wing Touring bike.'

'Didn't know it was dirty.
What's the screwdriver for? '
'Those hard-to-reach places.'
He bought the truth...but, I held Aces.

You never run a bluff
On the 'clean-up' batter.
Don't 'call' her hand...
She'll show you what's the matter....

'I'm taking the car...
Bike won't start.'
'Okay. Maybe I
Washed the wrong part.'

'What part, Lover? '
'All those wires.
I unscrewed
The engine cover...'

Three days' vacation
That Gold Wing sat and had.
Touchdown for the Home Team! ! !
Ain't that just too damned bad.

We invent mythical creatures such as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Some even include God in this. Why is it that we appear driven to create fanciful and splendid creatures such as these?

I put my faith among unknown truths,
Until enlightened, "faith" is my refuge.
Staying rewarded through generosity...
Enlightenment is useful to all, obviously.

Knowing your thinking mind
is a step towards the sublime.
Move towards ridding yourself of pain;
removing obstacles which shouldn't remain.

I mean these words dont exactly rhyme, but I think they sound good. Example:

And he tells me of his weird aliens, his life story, and his rhymes,
And I’m afraid, more then him, that this stuff no one will buy

Not the Nat King Cole version, but ya get the point I hope.
"Singin outta my Trailer"

A fat hog roasting on an open fire
Uncle Ralph nippin at the brew
Yuletide comes only once a year,
and when it's over we say,,, "WHEW!"
~~~
Change/ chorus?

We know that Bubba's on his way,
bringin toys from the goodwill, and bales of hay
His truck is loaded now, and so is he,
but he plays such a sweet old Santa, can'tcha see
~~~
Gramma dear is in her favorite place
makin magic in her Kitchen.
She's tryin hard ta keep a smile on her face
and keep a whisper in her Bitc***
~~~
Chorus change?

We all came here for some Christmas cheer,
knowin the good reasons for some fun
I'll get a pair of rough knit socks this year
but I asked St. Nick for some NICORET gum.
~~~
The baby done found the fresh punkin pie
and' s wearin it now to wipe on you.
Good Ole grampa, as hard as he tries
the punkin pie's bout all he can chew.
~~~
Same as chorus change up? "FIN"

And so I offer ya this special toast
with my CORN and yer fancy beer
Happy Cristmas to Y'all, and to Y'all a good day,
BUT you can bring the Hog next year.
~~~
May you all be at peace, enjoy all you can, celebrate as is your choice,
and nudge each day in 2008, as if it's a lifetime.
Steven Wolf, on y'all

I've heard this argument regarding the adoption of the Bill of Rights.

It was argued that it served no purpose BECAUSE there was no provision in the body of the Constitution that allowed the government to establish a religion or infringe freedom of speech, THEREFORE saying the same thing again in the Bill of Rights is redundant and possibly dangerous.

Dangerous? This raises the possibility that the only limit on government size and function is those limits explicitly enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

The problem is I can find no documentation on this point. Is there a newspaper article, first hand account, or any historical evidence that confirms this discussion?

Eons ago, they were dignity, and horror of flames -
they became today memories and echoes,
smiles of clouds and birds' confabulations.
They, the irreplaceable, They, the unchanging...
For lazy Gods, they are guardians of the world,
For lovers they are the ideals, or oath of two hearts.
For children, they are children, but more beautiful,
and for poets - the very grandeur of the word,
For the departed - a white lillly which bloomed too soon,
and for the knights - the fire and the sword,
for the sleeping - a mere dream within a dream,
and for me... everything and nothing at once!
But for sprites, born of water brightness
they are neglected in azure legends...

B.L. (1919)

A lone star
Brightly sparkling up on high
Illuminates the weary
Yet irradiated faces of the Magi
At last journeys end
Sonorous songs of praise rend the air
“Oh, glory, glory, alleluia
Peace and goodwill to all races”
So sweet was the angelic voices
That from within -
Wherein lies the swaddled Word
Who is born King and Lord -
Comes loud livestock lows and bleats
Joining in the song of peace.

it is when ladies wore long gawns and a pointy hat with a long silky cloth that hanged behind( sort of the medieval times, maybe?) and im not sure if knights existed by that time...(by medieval yes, but what i said with the pointy hats im not sure) and dukes used to wear fancy outfits and maybe carry a cane( in an aristocratic way) etc...

i know my descriptions arent very good, but any help is appreciated :)


MERRY X-MAS!

I am writing a science fiction book.

This girl gets droped off into our world because she knows of few secrets. She knows nothing about this world and this family takes her in. One of the girls who took her in found drugs in her bag, and tells her that they are really bad. (The girl from the other world doesnt know they are bad, in her old world everyone was required to use drugs to calm down) Now she knows how bad her world was.

AHH! What should happen next! What should she do about it! Should she be angry? SHould she be relived that she doesnt live there anymore? Should she trust the people who took her in?!

Thanks!!!
