looks like this has become a snowclone. in the first hundred
webhits, i get X =
Clinton-obsessed, brave, woody, query, sleepless, productive,
victorious, dead, waking, liver, victors, innocent, Talking Heads,
wayfarer, workers, cookie-maker, retiree, professors, creepy,
mentally ill, boys aboard Ericsson
"query" is especially nice, given the rhyme to "weary". and
"innocent", the opposite of "wicked".
