[Tuj] Fear not. My last comment should have a dangling '...but it won't work' attached to it.

[rab] are you sure? I'm really rather good at killing things.






I've said too much.

I beg to differ...

• CdM - Waiter! The bill, if you please / Excuse me, can we get the check [Raak] That had me laughing out loud.
• Irouleguy - As soon as we've finished our cheese/And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze
  
  Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec/Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
• Botherer - Our taxi awaits/The hideous stilton / It's cold enough out/The troublesome weather // The flight from Toronto/It flies in an hour / Except for the beer/I've got an account
• Juxtapose - curse you, botherer... okay, I'll try line four
• Chalky - [Jux] Ha! that happened to me last time - Raak beat me to Line 4 by about 10 minutes. So I copped Line 5. Deep joy :-)
• Juxtapose - Waiter! The bill, if you please
  As soon as we've finished our cheese
  Our taxi awaits
  So no further debates / In the United States
  
  Waiter! The bill, if you please
  As soon as we've finished our cheese
  The hideous stilton
  You serve at the Hilton / Could cause one to wilt on
  
  Waiter! The bill, if you please
  And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze
  It's cold enough out
  That my pitcher of stout / To destroy without doubt
  
  Waiter! The bill, if you please
  And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze
  The troublesome weather
  Has froze us together / Has ruined the leather
  
  Excuse me, can we get the check
  Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
  The flight from Toronto
  Is taking off pronto / Will quickly be gone so
  
  Excuse me, can we get the check
  Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
  It flies in an hour
  By platypus power / So bring it right now or
  
  Excuse me, can we get the check
  Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
  Except for the beer
  Charge that to Rich Gere / And these hazelnuts here
  
  Excuse me, can we get the check
  Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
  I've got an account
  Of a stunning amount / Thanks to Ms. Lisa Blount

Kicking it off...

Waiter! The bill, if you please
As soon as we've finished our cheese
Our taxi awaits
So no further debates
We've all to be busy as bees

Waiter! The bill, if you please
As soon as we've finished our cheese
Our taxi awaits
In the United States
So we've got a long flight overseas

Waiter! The bill, if you please
As soon as we've finished our cheese
The hideous stilton
You serve at the Hilton
Has brought half the room to it's knees

Waiter! The bill, if you please
As soon as we've finished our cheese
The hideous stilton
Could cause one to wilt on
This nouvelle cuisine pair of peas

Is anyone raring to have a go at the next bit? (and I nearly spelt my screenname 'Knoobbfly')

OK, Knobbfly, here goes...

Excuse me, can we get the check
Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
The flight from Toronto
Is taking off pronto
If I miss it, I'll end up a wreck

Excuse me, can we get the check
Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
The flight from Toronto
Will quickly be gone so
Make doubly sure it's correct

Excuse me, can we get the check
Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
It flies in an hour
By platypus power
Twin engined duck-billed Lockheed jet

Excuse me, can we get the check
Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec
It flies in an hour
So bring it right now or
It'll be a right pain in the neck

Phew! I don't claim they're any good (but I'm quite proud of the Lockheed one), but someone else can have the last 4!

OK, this might not have been the greatest of ideas....Still, I started, so I should finish

Excuse me, can we get the check
Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
Except for the beer
Charge that to Rich Gere
Teach him to be a smart aleck

Excuse me, can we get the check
Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
Except for the beer
And these hazelnuts here
Which came from the crew of Star Trek

Excuse me, can we get the check
Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
I've got an account
Of a stunning amount
Far more than we owe for this dreck

Excuse me, can we get the check
Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
I've got an account
Thanks to Ms. Lisa Blount
And her shy fiancé Vivek
