    I'll just take one of your pie-in-the-sky ideas - the customisation one.

    First, a lot of my favourites don't have a girl's name in them. Heck, some don't have words at all.

    Secondly, let's say I have a crush on fictional reporter Miranda Veracruz De La Jolla Cardinal. Explain to me how I can work her name into this Irish folk song without making a grade A1 clusterfuck of the rhyme, metre and geographical reference.

    Thridly, and by no means lastly, the entire concept is so lame and twee I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But given that you didn't just bring up an Elton John song but chose his worst one ever as an example, I'll just snigger and mince accross the room while pointing at you in a limp-wristed manner.

    When you make a million from your idea, let me know and I'll concede I'm wrong. But until it's proven that it does work, then any sane person will conclude that it doesn't work. Mmmmkay?

    I won't even dignify your lame offtopic ad hominem attacks by replying to them. Leech.

    Then you "know" incorrectly. Common misuse of a term isn't an excuse, it only compounds the error. Now if you'd said that in australia everyone *refers* to beer or sometimes alcohol in general as grog, that would've been informative and an interesting note. As it stands, you're just being an Honorary American :) (this coming from an American).

    I've got a few cases of Appleton's in the garage from my summer vacation in jamaica that say grog is rum and water. As do I.

    Real Grog (a good recipe)

    I'm pretty sure that you have to have diluted rum somewhere in there for it to be grog.

    To the best of my knowledge, grog is just rum and water

    Have you tried the iPod shuffle lately? We hear it plays favorites...like trolls do on Slashdot! *sheepish grin*

    So while you may be hearing "BURN, MTI, BURN!" on your Zen, we here at MTI keep hearing that same ol' tune "When MTI Comes Marching Home!!"

    A distant song from my third grade music class that relates.

    And when next payday came around
    Jim Goff a dollar short was found
    When he asked, "What for?" came this reply
    "You were docked for the time you were up in the sky."
