Me and Kevin Bacon, we’re likethis. Even William Fucking Shatner hasn’t got a GAME! If you thought I was insufferable before, just watch out, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!
Anyone can play. Everyone should play. Tell your friends.
Raincoaster should be in the first 10 results, partial credit for first 20.
Successful searches should be posted in the comments.
Use of the term ‘raincoaster’ in the entry kind of defeats the point, in case you hadn’t guessed.
Funniest/weirdest term wins bragging rights.
Visitors to the site should hit google with the search terms in the comments. If we get over twenty or so in a day it turns up in her blog stats.
But the FIRST RULE of the raincoaster challenge is, you must go show the luv to the inventor of the game. G’wan, give him a hit; he deserves to be hit, for feeding my ego!
Inspired by the interesting contrast of Jesus Jones‘ and Van Halen‘s songs both called Right Now, I’m posting these: two songs, both called Hold On, both optimistic and arguably existential in different ways, and both outstanding examples of their genre.
I know this pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Dont ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
Chorus:
Some day somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Dont you know?
Dont you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way
Hold on for one more day
You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You’ve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin’ your worries pass you by
Don’t you think its worth your time
To change your mind?
(chorus)
I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains
Some day somebodys gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Wont you tell me now
Hold on for one more day cause
It’s gonna go your way
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can’t you change it this time
Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on
They hung a sign up in out town
if you live it up, you won’t live it down
So, she left monte rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and monroe hips
She went and took that california trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said dont look back just
Come on jim
(chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes theres nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here,
you got to just hold on.
Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When theres nothing left to keep you here, when
Youre falling behind in this
Big blue world
Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the riverside motel,
Its 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But its so hard to dance that way
When its cold and theres no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head theres a record
Thats playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
And just hold on.
And man, you know those chemists know how to party! If anyone can save us from earth-shattering pain and life-altering free-floating self-loathing (as well as hyphen abuse!) it’s the Royal Society of Chemistry, by gum!
A breakfast of toast and honey is the ideal New Year’s Day hangover cure, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Honey, or alternatively golden syrup, provides the body with the essential sodium, potassium and fructose it needs after a good night out, say experts.
Other tips from the chemists include drinking a glass of milk BEFORE hitting the pubs and bars, sticking to gin or vodka and tonic, pacing yourself with the occasional soft drink, and downing a pint of water before going to bed.
Aha! Now I have the ammunition I need to goad my hosts into a trip to the LCBO: gin is better for me than that rotgut they’ve got in their cupboard. I’m sick, I need to take care of my delicate health. But I think I’ll avoid the tonic: carbonation is very hard on the bod, you know.

Lookie everybody! All that famewhoring paid off:
