Sadly, I wanted that little script to keep going, I was enthralled. Was that off the top of your head, or from some Definition website? And if so, URL please so I can keep reading and not doing anything remotely productive?
Oh, and...
My defintion is THIS. |

Oh, maybe nobody knows the trouble I've seen.
Two songs created by my favourite (the only one I've ever liked) "Acid Jazz" (rap) group from Toronto (the Dream Warriors) were called Wash Your Face in My Sink and My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style which uses as its underpinnings the Quincy Jones mega-hit from the Sixties (or there abouts) called Soul Bossanova, a song I truly love and which was used as the theme for the long running CTV (Canada) game show called Definition, to which the group is referring to as they repeat "My Definition" endlessly throughout the song.
As I recall, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, the rules of the game show were like Hangman and Password mushed together. I think it was on every day after the Friendly Giant. They received hundreds of witty puns from elderly ladies in very small towns from coast to coast whose choice for daily entertainment was CBC or CTV. A round of the show would start off with the announcer's familiar voice (the same announcer you hear on Wayne and Shuster)...
"And now for everyone's favourite game show, Definition. And here is your host Jim Perry"
canned applause
"Thank you, thank you. Let me introduce today's contestants, first to my right a home maker from Mississauga, Ontario, Lorraine. Hi Lorraine!"
"Hi Jim."
"To my left a shop supervisor from Donwood, Ontario, Randall. How are you Randall."
"Fine Jim."
"Let's get started with our first clue, Announcer?"
"Mrs. R. Freisen of Mossbank, Saskatchewan writes, 'How the procrastinating baker paid his bills.' 'How the procrastinating baker paid his bills.'"

Soul Bossanova, Quincy Jones rules!
One of the rare moments where remixing and rap didn't completely suck.
And don't wash your face in my sink.
And on a related topic, I've been trying to figure out how to play "Definition", as hosted by Jim Perry, here on FBnet/Pong.
"Mrs. Whelby from Cow Head, Newfoundland writes, 'How a ship can take on water.', 'How a ship can take on water.' Louise, give a letter." |
