  1. Could be the perfect storm

    But no, not either or.

    -- perfect storm: concurrence of factors resulting in disastrous situation

    -- not either or: neither concurrence nor disaster -> separate (expected?) event

    And for not telling the truth

    I've plead the fifth before.

    -- not truth: lies

    -- plead 5th: protect self, prevent perjury

    'Cause in your local armory

    You might swap me in kind,

    -- local armory: arms/weapons storage

    -- swap in kind: trade in for similar value, swapmeet, trade show?

    For this life line's no aid;

    Is another way to find.

    -- life line's no help: phone-a-friend, palm reading

    -- another way to find: search, faith, palm pilot?

    A forceful piece that's constant

    Carved a slice of special cake.

    -- constant force: gravitational?

    -- forceful piece: continuous/enduring music

    -- special cake: wedding, retirement, birthday, funeral -> celebration

  2. 1. We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.

    -- Steve Nash

    2. You know, ... I'm pretty sure I'm going to be an Arizona Cardinal.

    -- Kurt Warner

    3. I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.

    -- Lance Armstrong

    Working on connection ...

    all famous athletes, which seems a bit too obvious

  3. acid?

    Battery, sour, & I probably wouldn't speak to someone "dropping" any - so would talk to those who don't!

    (though I have to use the non-hallucinogenic H+ kind of acid all the time for work & I get spoken to either way)
