Listen to yourself.

As with all the best fantasy names, the words of the title make just as much sense in almost any order.

but...but... I mourned!

Wonderful. A passive-aggressive Triffid.

That guy is Charlea Napier, and he was my Dad. I always loved watching this role on VHS and he would like to play thia song in his study that we built onto the side of our house.
