The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Wizards. Alcohol. Now ya got me humming Mussorgsky.
I hadn't encountered "kinetic disassembly" before; always thought it was "rapid unscheduled disassembly".
Another fine lot this week! And… is there anything in particular we should chant while opening the NecroOmnicron? Klaatu brought a necktie or whatever?
Which Mussorgsky tune?
I actually have a room booked at Lizzie's house in the not-too-distant future.
I love the Latin Teacher! All of them are good
I heard my name. Oh, right, you meant the composer. Good set of tunes, particularly "Great Gate of Kiev"

Try humming "Anus of Uranus" from Klaatu's first album 3:47PM (titled Klaatu in the US).
It's the third track Side 1.
You're Welcome and have a good day
For a real treat try to find a performance of the original (piano) version of "Pictures at an Exhibition".
The orchestral version sounds French. The orginal piano is Russian, especially the final movement.
Crotalus: The one that sprang immediately to mind was "The Hut of Baba Yaga", from Pictures at an Exhibition.
I don't know whether to be disappointed or pleased that the Latin teacher has rediscovered the ancient art of rote memorization and verb chants that were standard pedagogical techniques when I learned Latin.
