Tomorrow's theme should be a visual delight as well as an audible one as the theme is eyes. From lyin' ones to ol' blue ones we should not be short of material. Don't just limit yourself to eyes though as we will also accept songs about what you do with them.

I think the only viable way of polissing is to have Blog representation on the Board of Moderators. Someone with the power of moderation could then simply strike out the long lists and other misdemeanors (like youtube links for example).
I think Thing Fish would be a good rep with maybe Mary Doll to sub him on Friday and Saturday nights.
