For obvious reasons: "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life. It's probably on his 'not to play' list ANYWAY, but in Eva it would be an espescially bad idea, no?
- CD, looking for love, calling heaven above/send me an angel (whoo eee ooh) send me an angel (whee oh ooh) right now...

woot Med. Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows

Like the wind, you disappeared into the asphalt,
While being torn to pale shreds.
"I'll never give up." Though I hold tightly to
What you said that day, it's just the wind blowing.
The faster I run,
the more it seems like the valley of buildings will fall on e;
I bite my lip
and tough it out,
until the storm passes.
Say yes!
I just live more passionately than yesterday...
Say yes!
...because I've known a loneliness that can't be healed.
Say yes!
If you can hear me,
answer me, saying:
I CAN BE
I CAN DO
I CAN SING
I CAN LIVE
Behind the wall, something twinkles:
it is the knife of darkness.
The only place I will never surrender is the area where
you hid your dreams.
When I look up,
my eyes still hurt, but
if I can
grasp my future,
these platinum tears will become stars.
Say yes!
I want to believe deeply that freedom...
Say yes!
...is more becoming to us than sorrow.
Say yes!
You're far away now, but to you...
...I send these words:
YOU CAN BE
YOU CAN DO
YOU CAN SING
YOU CAN LIVE
Say yes!
I just live more passionately than yesterday...
Say yes!
...because I've known a loneliness that can't be healed.
Say yes!
If you can hear me, answer me, saying:
I CAN BE
I CAN DO
I CAN SING
I CAN LIVE
...I send these words:
YOU CAN BE
YOU CAN DO
YOU CAN SING
YOU CAN LIVE
Answer me, saying:
I CAN BE
I CAN DO
I CAN SING
I CAN LIVE

I take a step to what's real
Or at least to what it is I'm chasing
Another step to reveal
All the shadows that I keep embracing
Failure forgets to fascinate
This light inside will resonate
Shame dissipates with open eyes
Refreshing fate I can't describe
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
There's a piece of my mind
That tries to fathom the stars or to
Contemplate the divine
Don't need to look very far
When you bring me
The reasons just to believe
You bring me answers
I can't concieve
How can I bring You doubt
When You bring me the sky?
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
(instrumental)
You bring me
The reasons just to believe
You bring me answers
I can't concieve
How can I bring You doubt
When You bring me the sky?
This time it feels like I've been
Touched by a Supernova
Inside - the Hand that touches hearts
Is touching mine
As I find my tears are all
Consumed by the Supernova
This time the hope that
Lights the world
Is in my eyes
There's a light in my eyes
The light of the Supernova glowing in my eyes
Go Supernova.

I think the "Search" function is completely broken. Has anyone had any luck at all with it?

There is no spork.

As Offsides has recently noted in another topic in this area, it's time I wrote a FAQ file for the Walk. In addition to the question that prompted him to suggest this, I have have a couple more in mind, but honestly, I'm just as likely to forget or overlook something especially appropriate as I am to remember it.
So I'm asking -- what do you guys think I ought to cover in a FAQ? Feel free to include both serious and silly questions -- I might make like Rob Kelk does with the BGC FAQ and do an April Fool's version with the silly questions. Just make sure they're clearly marked so I don't confuse them.
Thanks, everyone!

... since Doug is such a music lover (besides getting powers from them)
I wonder if the doug ever learnt to play any musical instruments?

Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black
Don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty and sweet oh yeah.

And you're my girl.

Diamond star halo
You're built like a car
Oh yeah.

You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl.
Get It On

Lyrics at www.lyrics007.com/Offspri...yrics.html
Possible Gate Song for a One shot world. Since it's fairly new Doug wouldn't have access to it but then maybe he picks it up somewhere along the line.
Silly Effect that doesn't fit the lyrics: Takes Doug to random tourist spots in the world he's currently in and then he returns home at the end of the song. If he stops the song before it ends he stops traveling and ends up at the current random touristy location. As for an added effect throw in a time dilation effect.

Lyrics at

For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravel.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
I went down to Satan's kitchen
To break my fast one morning
And there I got souls piping hot
All on the spit a-turning.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
That of your five sound senses
You never be forsaken,
Nor wander from your selves with Tom
Abroad to beg your bacon.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
The moon's my constant mistress,
And the lonely owl my marrow;
The flaming drake and the night crow make
Me music to my sorrow.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
I know more than Apollo,
For oft when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at mortal wars
In the wounded welkin weeping.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
With a host of furious fancies,
Whereof I am commander,
With a burning spear and a horse of air
To the wilderness I wander.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end-
Methinks it is no journey.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand years I travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravel.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money.
