4. Fun with geeky lyrics! Complete the last line in this tune. Who wrote and sang it?
Take care, young ladies, and value your wine.
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs,
Then swiftly be gone, _______________________.

"Between your legs" and variations - 50% of you

...episodes of TOS that I've actually watched = 0" - natt_barn

(And the winner of this week's Vulcan Science Academy Award for Logic goes to... natt_barn! Even though there is singing in Star Wars. To be fair, Star Wars song is provided by the Ewoks and the Gungans, so you can be forgiven for pretending it never happened. -CV)

Bitter dregs.'" - IRONJEFF

5. Less fun with lyrics! Name the song and the band:
She ain't hard to recognize
Dollar signs are in her eyes
Diamond buckles on her little shoes
My poor heart is feelin' sad
To know that once she could be had
If I'd had the price to pay her dues

"Nailin' Palin, by Karl Rove and the Fox Newsies" - drbear

"Waking up with a cat who's stuck his tail in my mouth. Blehh" - syrazemyla

"Capsicum/peppers. It's a ninja vegetable too - you think you've ordered something sans-capsicum because it wasn't listed on the menu item, but SURPRISE! FOOL YOU! It's freaking everywhere." - vayshti

"Fernet Branca, an Italian digestif. Anything vaguely alcoholic that not only smells like something that has been recently vomited up, tastes like a mix of soy sauce with Marmite and purportedly contains "myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom, aloe, and especially saffron, with a base of grape distilled spirits, and coloured with caramel colouring. Ingredients rumored to be in fernet include codeine, mushrooms, fermented beets, coca leaf, gentian, rhubarb, wormwood, zedoary, cinchona, bay leaves, absinthe, orange peel, calumba, echinacea, quinine, ginseng, St. John's wort, sage, and peppermint oil" isn't a drink, but the inventory of either a medicine cabinet or a spice rack." - germankitty
