Here we go... Validity: Since Jeremy states that this rule has no predecessor it's exempted from its own restriction (Good thing you said that!). As I see nothing else questionable, it's VALID. Style: Good. It's in one of my chosen categories, and upon further reflection, possibly one of the more interesting of them. An interesting restriction, which I haven't seen before, and a bonus, even. It's also interesting to see a sub-category, as in Round 81 :) And it's a good song (I think). So we'll give this one a cool +1.7. -bill #*=--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----=*# William Maciejewski wmm@galileo.jhuapl.edu silly & boring homepage: http://cs.wm.edu/~wmmaci/index.html A3A - Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab Heuristics Inc.: improv-sequenced-electronic-ambient-industrial? #*=--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----=*# "Love is thicker than most bodily membranes, but not quite as sticky." - The Tick
