GODDAMN!

nice job.



5 points for cougar
1 bonus point for "over the top"

net 6 points to cougar

OnyxCougar 12-17-2003 11:17 AM



I want to thank you for the bonus point. You didn't have to be so nice.

Do I have to go on this way? What will it take before you realize that I'm not looking for fortune, not looking for fame, all I really want is for you to realize that I have nothing else to do but play the game ?

lumberjim 12-17-2003 11:29 AM

she's running away with this, people......


5 points + 1 bonus point=6points

-1 point for all of the pop ups that i now have to close and for referencing a site with ALL of the songs on an album that i would have to read just to find the one partial line......

good job, anyway, tho

5 points total

OnyxCougar 12-17-2003 12:09 PM


Do I wear you out? You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out. I've always been strange. But then, you oughta know what it feels like to be an outcast , a misfit . You understand me.

I'm sorry for all the pop ups, but you know I can't control what other people do. You should ask one of the guys here about Mozilla Firebird, since it blocks popups.

lumberjim 12-17-2003 12:21 PM

it's snowballing....

5+1 bonus = 6 points

6 points to cougar

Point of order: shouldn't the lyrics be, like, more recognizable as lyrics? Otherwise we'll just google for every word in every sentence?

Radar 12-17-2003 01:02 PM

I think it would be more cool only to use the title of a song rather than any lyrics. Lyrics are too easy.

lumberjim 12-17-2003 01:03 PM

yes. very good point. let's see......

let's keep this confined to entire lines from a song, or a song title....or an easily recognizeable and well known SNIP from a song.



this is an obvoius oversight on my part in setting up the rules, and unfortunately, i will have to make some adjustments to the scoring...sorry cougar....i'll be fair about it.

OnyxCougar 12-17-2003 01:09 PM

OK, only full lines from a song. How is that defined? I could say

My sweater is on backward
and inside out
and you say,
"How appropriate."

Is that one line of a song or 4? So I have to go buy what the lyrics page has as a line, and if so, if I find one that uses it as a line alone even if no other one uses it that way?

that woulde be one line as it is a complete sentence.

Radar 12-17-2003 01:33 PM

It shouldn't be anything but the title. This makes the game more challenging and fun. :)

The post referenced has 3 song titles and a full line. Per rules it's worth 5 points. I ask for a recount.

Room for a Newbie in this game?
 
I'm just a "Working Man", you have to "Have a Little Faith In Me". I'd travel "200 Miles" to see "Ophelia" "In the Flesh".

Oops, gotta "Go Now", "Supper's Ready"

Bob ;)

Elspode 12-17-2003 09:41 PM

Those are song titles, not lyrics...but kudos on "Supper's Ready"! The man is a Genesis fan!

I'd go on with this game, but..."What are words for? When no one listens anymore..." - "Words" by Missing Persons
