Error! (sterilize, imperfection)

...it's "mom, qoq, mom" upside down.

Let's not forget the valleys...the area between the peaks.  Heavy metaphysical
references follow:
  the valley of the shadow of death
  valley of the dolls
  big valley
  valley girls

The similarities between these powerful literary works and Twin Peaks is
obvious.

I'd say "qoq, mom, qoq" was most definitely one Mrs. Hayward's (rhymes
with 'wayward') favorite pastimes.  You got the "horn" part right.

Analyze this one: "satan oscillate my metallic sonatas".  Answers must be
deeper than whale shit and touch on all fundamental Peaksian interpretive
concepts: Astrology, grail legends, chess strategy, zen, mysticism, and
strong black coffee.
