Memoirs (pre-humous) of a game thread host to other game thread hosts:

"Ya can't please everbuddy!, but you sure can get some

to think (ugly) thoughts about you lol"
- smd aka pen-name for

years, not Trevanian, but:

geo steve !



Otherwise, take a peek into the strange minds of game hosts;

speculation,myth,or fact ? Does it pertain to the DaVinci Code?

Part 1 of 3 post-post Q175 gaming theory talk and a lot 'o baloney:

Steve's game reply posting on Q175 from Linda after-game-specific

requities, remaining length thoughts too much for the game

submission reply proper.

Part 1 of 3 - ruminations after Linda's post Q175. - "The

seperated non-game-requisite portion of my reply to Linda's; became my

short moderately-novel-ette, reviews include: "23,000 characters,

all well-developed'
(News Annually

" - read the book: "Divergant minds

versant convergant minds _ perceptions of chaos lost, or paradise

gained?": previuosly published as:"The Mobuis Lyrics

Chronicles & Trilogy
" winner of the

Huego award, almost, AND, THE

PRIMARILY OUTER-SPACE SCI-FI-AWARD, AND/OR ITS SMALLER COUSIN,

THE SEMI-FICTIONAL SHORT STORY CATEGORIES; BOTH IN THE PURVUE

OF THE "'Nebulous Award'

", 'The Nebulae Award'' for more than one 'Nebulous

Award' for full-length Sci-Fi novel, and again the smaller cousin for Semi-

Fictional Novellettes of the same ilk as The Nebulous Award' - 'The a Bit

Nebulous Award'. Finally, it won the 'Beegadze Bunja Core-Wrap' the

often sardonic and less-than-tolerant critics-with-short-attention-spans

guild and guild-casting for when it came to video. Wow ! Thats quite a

list to the right then the left; its like that inflatable punching clown that

allways stands back up. Toys with no self-esteem, or a hardy center of

gravity, one or the other !


Thoughts germane in part to Oh,Linda's game hosting in (Edible

Quizzers) abd sundry discussion lyrics related combining several

talks of Lyrics game laughs and dillemmas in general on lyrics,

"can't please everbuddy" - too long for a PM (5000 max versus

Posts - 10,000 max, of which this 23000 character post to

everyone and in some parts specific to Linda even cut in half is

still too long for a PM, and of likely insuffient interest uless

you are hosting a lyrics game, analogous in and of itself to the

dillemma in hosting the games resultantly, and aso contains some

material of interest to all perhaps.


This blabberty is ultimately all about what seem to comes back

around full circle to new thoughts;andfor handling ambiguous

cases for all interested players thoughts.

Also, my appreciation of the corfid membership over the years,

and then specifically how I HAVE appreciated the gang here in

Lyrics (non-edible and over in edible ) Surficially

related thoughts at best... lol, but GERMANE TO LYRICS in

general in this context. Some historical material on similar

lyrics in general as a concept going back to Joan Baez in 70's,

protest songs; and Lightfoot's discrete thoughts on same for a

Canadian artist's perspective.


- Hinging in some parts on the intended song for Q175, which was

superceded for Linda's win on an ambig case !

However - since in part two, here are some references to Q175

and Linda's work and submission, ( along with a large Qty. of

misc. thoughts on lyrics, songs, songwriters, Public Domain

Songs, protest songs, to be heard in most all folk singers's

work, IMO in Lightfoot's, discretely, and of limited QTY and

quite conservative mention/use. He was once quoted roughly as

saying that he did not ffel it germane or correct to build folk

songs written by him as a Canadian upon the shoulders of U.S.

protest movements, and/or event- eg Detroit and/or race riots in

USA, Viet Nam, et al he's felt more the pervue thoughtfully for

U.S.A. singer/songwriters - admirable IMO because it further

shows his thoughtful side for his contemporaries and colleagues

the U.S., and in general. Didn't/doesn't feel he HAS to have his

thumb in EVERY pie - I admire that.

And, a tie into Particle Physics that is actually

germane
. To further enjoyment (I hope)in reading, the

break into two parts further allows reading of just the Q175

reply and game status essentials, and then if so chosen to read,

part two here without the extranneous information I am given to,

and by definition, some find tedious. In what other venue could I

have the chance to share tangential thoughts to Lightfoot's

lyrics with ties like these though ? Anymore

meta-talk of part 2 will be all of part 2, the world's first

Mobius discussion ! lol....
i.e Mobius strip et all

- the *real* ring of twisted ribbon that only has one side....not

ony possible but fascinating when further cut, the offspring are

on-again-off-again always connected increasingly shorter rings,

alternating from two-sided to one-sided. I'll avoid the head-pain

of the mobius pitcher. Both inside and outside and outside are

theoretically one surface, and exist only in mathematician's

minds and artists' renderings/conceptions with considerable

artistic license permitted their profession by definition !

Note to Linda

-specific
- MULTIPLE THEMES U HAVE NOTICED

sounds like fodder for themes-based lyrics if one should sorta

play-out - which I've had happen in here - inedible lyrics lol-

and sorta re-invent methodology to regain interest a few times -

mostly 1st half of this thread's whole history - getting interest

to accumulate, and then now, as I've shifted with the gang (all

of you) in here to slam-dunk replies, but counter-

intuitively more enjoyable talk in many submits and replies and

talkin amongs the players near real time.

My turn around times have been using a lot of at-home time for

medical reasons I'll not distastefully bore everone with ... but

it left me with a double edged sword on time - I was here

more, thus available to process full-regalia "winter-sails"

(Ghosts of Cape Horn incredible video U C ?) responses, versus

the quicker (unless I blabberty lol...) slam dunk reply method,

coupled with the BIG X tracking status

for players convenience, especially with ten songs,

which I am ready to return to .... 10 songs,

that is - the 5 I just did- came and left in one day - hence the

justifciation I think for 10..
.

the couple of days that rendered me far

less available to process lent the ever-so-easy to have occur

sense of things out of control to some, when in fact, its

simply time, and the other factor that led to my spurious and

intermittent slow-downs - medical events so to speak ,


no more details from me unless someone genuinely needs

input in a PM on a similar difficuly - and

believe me, there are several epileptics and pseudo-ep as me

(absence seizures) that'll take me out for up to worse case

lately, had been 6 - 8 hours in a day, the time period most

responsible for the impression - understandably- of chaos

spiralling out of control... coupled with a new increase I find

enjoyable to read of player's combined thoughts, frustrations,

revelations, and sometimes consequentially difficult-to-discern

wheat/submisions from chaff/pure discussion.

Linda, the interest of

ppl with a thread that has any form of repetition of mode i.e.

quizzers ( which corfid used to do a LOT of, just different

modes...and definately name...lol)IMO is a highly transient

thing, for very esoteric reasons -in
part- lol that

can lose 'em in a day.... one: for good and real reasons, but

also unfortunately, [COLOR="White"]two: -mildly upset or

frustrated- player(s)
, that is looked up to as a true long-

timer or influential person(s) in particular , often

whom have no idea how much impact they are posessed of
, and

unintentional provocation of players no longer '

holding truck'
with a game concept or temporal rule set if

they see the ...de facto judge de jour or veracity

of the thread ( not Char - who is extremely helpful

in keeping interest in a thread where she knows hard work is

done , time of self is given, and some appreciation is due..

.....it can happen in hours...and interestingly the

impression unintentionally given at times simply by being

court de jour
as host, or worse - "judge" thought to be

enamoured of bossy power-trippin' , when in fact all thats in

your head as -host- is to provide a good time ([I]
