Oh, everybody? I seem to have been friended by what looks like a troll journal. Something involving ham. I'm not sure what they're after or why, but wave to the ham people, would you?

Silly ham people. I don't know what you hope to accomplish but I hope you at least find something you enjoy that doesn't hurt anyone.

Hm. This looks like interesting to me:

Step #1: Put your iTunes (or other player) on the "Shuffle" setting.

Step #2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.

Step #3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. Please don't use Google or any other way to CHEAT, for this spoils the fun for others who actually KNOW the answer.

Step #4: Check off the songs when someone guesses correctly.
