Leitmotifs

A while back, Jay Furr asked me what my leitmotif was. Now I find myself talking to Lemphers about what his should be.

For those of you who haven't ever come across the word, it refers to that piece of music which identifies you. Like in Peter and the Wolf, how whenever it mentions the duck, it plays a certain piece of music. But actually more like boxers, who have a particular track played when they walk in.

I still don't know what mine should be. But Lemphers wants to have "You can't touch this". I'm thinking that every time he walks into the building, they should play it through some loud speakers. Then everyone will know that he has arrived.
