Short Attention Span
11-13-2008, 12:26 AM
By Fizzy Bangers, from the album "Short Songs for Short People," about eight seconds long, with lyrics as follows:
Why can't people understand?
I've got a short attention span,
Short attention span!
Effect: scrambles others' short-term memory?
(Also, didn't want to make a separate topic, but... Tsurupettan
would be useful if anyone needed a breast reduction.  )
Pronounced "shy guy."

Or possibly distracts everyone... "Sangnoir, I will kill you for this outrag-- Ooh, shiny!"

hmm. Ok, on a similar vein, how about "be my Bodyguard", anyone in the AoE who fails a will save suddenly considers themselves Doug's Bodyguards?

I like the "ooh shiny" interpretation. Can't comment on Tsurupettan because YouTube deleted it after a measly 15 months!
And re: "Bodyguard" -- for the duration, only, of course. How long does it last?

Correct attribution is " Call me Al" by Paul Simon, and 4:30ish...

might be it. (I'm not sure; it has been fifteen months, after all.)

Oh! Well, hm. I dunno, that song's got a whole lot more going on in it; bodyguarding might not be what comes out of it. Quote:This might be it.
That was an... odd little song.

You know, I never thought of that. And I do have notes for an abandoned Quantum Leap Step around somewhere...

Which I've just dug up and reread, and have determined are entirely too sketchy to even be considered a decent story idea. QL was supposed to be the eighth Step in the original itinerary of the Walk, but I really didn't have a plot other than, "wouldn't it be cool if..."
