I saw this on Craigslist in Phoenix...

We're a band. We're passionate. Dedicated. Need a drummer. You've heard this
before. So let's try things a little differently, shall we?

You are on a ride named for the third-to-last letter of the alphabet, you're
companion killed the man for which the last ride you rode is named, and you
are listening to EITHER "Vicarious" (Tool), "Blackened" (Metalica), or "Blue
Rondo a la Turk" (Brubeck)

Where are you, who are you with, and what time is it (in)?

Answer me these questions three, and we'd LOVE to work with you--bonus
points if you can find either of the (2) errors in the above post.

I think I have Brubeck's "Time Out" (it's hard for me to know what I
have on CD, since a lot of things I once had on LP I have replaced on
CD, a lot I haven't replaced on CD, and I have a lot on CD that I never
had on LP). I could go home and count out "Blue Rondo a la Turk", but
I think it's in sevens.

Let's see... Booth killed Lincoln, for whom a ride is named.
X-something, Lincoln, and 7/4... nope, I'm getting nothing...

But you can tell him the errors are "you're companion" rather than
"your companion", and "man for which" rather than "man for whom", and
"who are you with" rather than "whom are you with". Oh. That's 3
errors. Neverminnnnnd.
