I suggested Brown Eyed Girl and American Pie … but really everything we harkened to the orbital missions stems from groups like The Five Man Electrical Band. It looks like the predominant theme is “your first one is free” 😉 BTW pay attention to the play between lyrics and _melody._

I’m in Japan right now. You would LOVE the signs here, like:
– DO NOT SQUAT ON TOILET SEATS.
– DO NOT THROW TOILET PAPER INTO THE BIN.

Very good, collections can often prove quite interesting- i wish to comment.We set about people who make or design Things are not thinking enough about the use or instructions- they know the info, but either don’t care or are very incomplete in sharing it- i recently wanted to try one of those blue light- light bulbs for the evening- the ones that help cueyour mind that daytime is over- anyway the one that seemed just right, it’s a full size bulb just like I want, but I can only find it in 9 watts- you would think that’s the amount of light for a night light- it does turn out that the box has the amount of lumens listed on it is the key- who’s used to determining which bulb by the number of lumens??? it turns out that this nine watt bulb does indeed equal what we are used to seeing in forty or sixty watts- so my point is this- this company goes to so much trouble to tell you why their blue light bulb is the one you should get and different models They also make and sell, and theirs is the best.And it goes on and on, they don’t see fit to explain this small detail to you, or anyone- i find the fact that instructions or ease of actual use are overlooked phenomenally annoying
