    Fun indeed, thanks for putting it together. "The End" is a fitting finale.
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Good by me! Thanks Gregg. This was a blast! As all the drafts on here are a blast! (especially the music drafts).

            • I could easily go another 500. I'll be posting songs that I can't believe weren't taken but were ineligible for me because of my self-imposed rule of only one song per artist.
