There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.

Just downloaded the Was (Not Was) tune "Walk the Dinosaur" after one of those odd moments where random memories surface. I was watching an anime music video cobled together using footage from the Mini-Goddesses episode that did the Godzilla parody and using Blue Oyster Cult song "Godzilla". Odd train of thought that made me remember a certain posting on the forum, from thence to the song and a desire to download out of curiousity. Have I mentioned how tangentally my mind works? But I digress.
Which leads to the non-critical technical question of the day.
I think Bob mentioned that "Walk the Dinosaur" would be a good Godzilla summoning song. Obviously "Godzilla" by BOC would do the same thing.
Could Doug segue from one to the other seamlessly and get over 7 minutes worth of Godzilla rampaging around if he really needed it?
For a more general question - can he do the same thing with two songs that have the same effects in general?
More than one song of his gives him electrical powers and the ability to manipulate computers. If he needed extra time for effects, could he segue the two songs right after each other and experience no fade out of the effects at a critical moment?
Anyway - just my odd thought of the day.-Logan

On a long and lonesome highway, East of Omaha,
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do,
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing else to do,
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through,
Say, here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold,
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can.
The same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
You always seem out-numbered, you don't dare make a stand.
Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
When you're out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, turn the page.
Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
There I go, playing star again,
There I go, there I go.

Did you delete a topic Bob? Cause for some reason I see a new tag on a topic that's been dead for Months..."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Okay, I'm going out on a limb and guessing that "Angel Baby" is probably going to take place between the seventh and twelfth Angels. (Asuka's debut and the Sea of Dirac, respectively)
Obviously, Doug isn't going to fix up Asuka and Shinji. That would be typical SI behavior in EVA fics, unless the author goes after one of them him/herself. Trust me on this, I should know.
However, I do see Doug giving advice freely if asked. I think the Loon would make a better paternal figure than Kaji...

Lots of activity on the prereaders' list last night as a lot of little tweaks got bandied about. Plus a lot of comments along the line of "you've hit one out of the park," which I think bodes well for my readers' enjoyment.
Unless something big shows up when I get home from work, the whole chapter goes in for final preread tonight. Which, yes, means that (again, unless something goes wrong) a week from tonight, the last chapter and the epilogues for Drunkard's Walk II will be released.
In the mean time, I'm working on the concordance entries for the new material, and deciding if I want to write some more omake...

Girl:
Hey! Listen now it's coming so close
I'll let the rhythm surround me
I'm getting itchy and I'm ready to move
I'm mighty glad that you found me
There's a drummer going at it way down in the core of my soul
There's no escaping the music and I'm psyching up my feet
And they're telling me we're ready to roll
There are times when I can fight it but now's the time I want to give in
Sooner or later we'll get around to love
But now's the time to shake it
Oh Baby let the party begin
Baby let the party begin
When I woke up this morning and I looked out my window
I could see the sky was cloudy and gray
There was a chill in the air and a pain in my heart
And the thunder it was coming my way
Oh, it was looking pretty bad and I was so alone
And there was any place to go
But now I'm out of the blue, I know what I got to do
And something in me's starting to grow
I can feel it in me starting to grow...grow...grow...grow...
I got dance in my pants
Every time I feel the power in a radio wave
I turn it up all the way
I got dance in my pants
Every time I see the glory of a good-looking face
Well I just got to say:
"Hey now, don't you worry baby, everything'll be fine
We got nothing but the best and we got nothing but time
And there'll always be a time when they'll be waiting in line
To be dancing, dancing..."
You don't say nothing all week, you're getting ready for
Dancing, dancing
And now your body really knows how to speak, you're getting ready for
Dancing, dancing
You don't say nothing all week, you're getting ready for
Dancing, dancing
Now your body really knows how to speak, you're getting ready
Come on, take a chance
You got a whole lotta style and a load of romance
And me, me, me... I got dance in my pants...
I got dance in my pants...
I got dance in my pants...
Boy:
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm a lover not a dancer
Don't want to be on my feet when I can be on my back
Don't want to be on the floor when I can be in the sack
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm just a little bit tired if you know what I mean
Don't want to be in a crowd when I can be in a dream
I'm a lover not a dancer, Baby
Baby let me prove it to you
Baby let me prove it to you
Girl:
We can rock it really hard or we can roll it really slow
We can lift it really high or we can dip it really low
We can hold it in tight or we can let it all out
Or we can work up a sweat and really stomp it and shout
Let me pull you so close and then we'll break away fast
We'll be the best on the floor we got the cool and the flash
We'll make a dangerous turn but we'll come out of it fine
I know the best of the moves we'll get them right every time
Boy:
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm a lover not a dancer
Don't want to be on my feet when I can be on my back
Don't want to be on the floor when I can be in the sack
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm a lover not a dancer
I'm just a little bit tired if you know what I mean
Don't want to be in a crowd when I can be in a dream
I'm a lover not a dancer, Baby
Baby let me prove it to you
I don't care what you say
Ain't nothing going to get me out on that floor...
Girl: Oh baby, you know there may be some moves, that you haven't even seen yet
Boy: No way, Jose!
Girl: Well, I got a new step for you -- Made it up all by myself. I bet you never tried this before.
Boy: Oh, jeez.
Girl: Come on.
Boy: Oh, jeez.
Girl: Come on!
Boy: Oh, jeez!
Girl: Now that you know how it's done, it's only a matter of practice
Boy: Well, I could sure use some of that practice
Girl: Now that you know how it's done, it's only a matter of practice
Boy: Well, I could sure use some of that practice....
(sings)
Grow, grow, grow, grow... grow, grow, grow, grow....
I got dance in my pants

Girl:
I'll crank it up all the way
They'll never get me to stop
I gotta stay in motion 'til the moment that I finally drop
When they decide that I'm gone
I know they're gonna try to put me to rest but I won't be afraid
Because I know, I know there's dance after death
Boy:
Oooh, I know there's dance after death
And I don't ever want to be rescued
I don't ever want to be saved
I got a feeling that I'm gonna be alive forever
Dancing on the edge of a grave
Dancing on the edge of a grave
Both:
And I don't ever want to be rescued
I don't ever want to be saved
I got a feeling that I'm gonna be alive forever
Dancing on the edge of a grave
Dancing on the edge of a...
Dancing on the edge of a...
Dancing on the edge of a grave

Then the horns kicked in...

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
The world is the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit
The world is the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe his eyes are wide
Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
The friction of the day
