Blimey, was it nine months ago I posted this. Time flies when you're an
aging hippie :-) About a week later I posted the answers. I now forget what
the high score was.

Subject: Guess the Hawkwind track


A diversion for those (like me) with a New Years day hangover. The following
are acronyms of Hawkwind tracks. Do you know the track? I got about half of
them straight off, but some of the tracks from later albums I had to give up
on. No prizes, and I'm not going to mark your efforts! I'll post the list in
a day or two.

Note that where tracks start with "The" it is sometimes but not always
omitted.

Or even "hw"?  (I just submitted that one.)

But here are some amusing (well, to me anyway) alternates.

HW:
  - Helloween (band) [Hey!  They stole our acronym!]
  - High-Warning ['nuff said :-)]
  - Hacked Website
  - Hardware [old and lame, but it's been amusing this computer
    guy for decades now]
  - Hazardous Waste [what all those *other* people think of HW's
    music?]

DFL:
  - Data Fusion Laboratory [should be from a Calvert lyric]
  - Deutsche Fussball Liga (German Soccer League) [who knew?]
  - Dictator for Life
  - Disease Free Layings (silk) [hmmmm]

SR:
  - Stuff Request (Nortel) ["Nortel" means this must be a
    technical term.  The mind boggles.]
  - Source Rock (geology) [Space Ritual is the Source Rock for
    Space Rock ... well, that's stretching things, but only
    slightly]

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so
many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to
represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus.
