I recognised the song title from the latest clue before I recognised the lyric.
Merry Christmas to all you Northern Hemisphere lightheads. (Melbourne reached 33degC or 91degF today.)

Hey Dave ! : thats the last of the ten. curious of your opinion on the method of clues for the two last ones above - as you replied to the 'blue' one. More below for you .


All players - ?:
Curious what all players think of the above purple and blue format of clues - in the two purple and blue ones; color was germane but otherwise would normally be extranneous. Its the method of clue giving in story or metaphor I am wondering if you guys would like it mixed into regular play -some- or as a seperate thread, and keep this intact, or go all to the new method, where we could 'pass the deal' whoever gets it right.

Any method of clue giving would be open season in the above examples, as long as it was not something that would preclude a group from figuring it out (no Spanky high signs under the chin in code hahaha lol) waddya think ? I am kinda inclined myself to do some 'mixing a few in each list of ten'; and see if we like 'em. A lot of songs may not lend well to this method but we could try, for some additional fun ? Thoughts ? Or should I shut-up and post ten regular ones lol.....and keep my da88 mouth shut lol.......only kidding....its Friday night ! woooeeeee

Anyhoo - Dave:

Dave,
Thank you for replying to the 'blue clue'...lol.. on Q234 above, right you are on the answer. I would ask you as well what I wrote a a question posed to all - players and viewers/lurkers all in light blue above in my response to Char, whay do YOU think ?

In any event, CONGRATULATIONS! Dave on getting this 'blue clue' so aptly.....I find it interesting that the NAME of the song occurred to you before the lyrics...I grow more intrigued bythe notion of either the new seperate thread of story and metaphor clues, as in the one of two you responded to in '2nd clue' way, but what if we asked them all with that method as a primary clue, and even passed the deal and whomever 'gets it' askes the next question - all one at a time....no waits.

I'd get to 'play', hmm and either continue this thread as is and open another, without wishing to drop too-large a footprint out on the list of threads, if you know what I mean....I am not overestimating my impact at all.... I know its all only a very small part of corfid, 1 or 2 threads of quizzers of mine out there.... no delusions of granduer here, I only want to be polite in asking if two would be too much..... or..replace this thread with ? What do you think ? - or leave well enough alone - 130 odd songs to go and this current method we've been using, long waits for new lists and replies aside lately, keep on with what we know works ? OR......... ?

Dave -
BTW - gloat gloat gloat you all down under at 91 degrees F 'down there' ! - on the out-dated Euro-centric origin of that term I mean no offense in using as a familiar term - .....and while on that, what do Aussies think of the 'down under' phrase, the 'Aussie' term, or even the 'Oz-er' and other variations of same ? Surely no harm or insult meant, but I try maybe too hard and worry too much in general (besides saying I am sorry and thank you too much...lol... - jj & Ron..... as you've pointed out with care before... ), neverthe less I am curious what do these well-meaning monikers mean to you folk, as urbane as any other industrialized portions of the world, bit I am just curious.. ?...

In any event Dave, as I continue to chew over this idea of the type of clue you've reponded to here as a candidate possible for a replacement clue format to this thread, or a seperate concurrent thread.....do you think this current 'thread-bare' format is growing thin or nearing its R.I.P. status, and yet we have still 130-odd songs to go in it WITHOUT includng rarities and other songs where lyrics are given in Wayne's World - (lightfoot.ca). It still has enough inertia that people trounce on a new list of 10 clues, comparitively speakling only to when we have only 2 left..lol.. Thank you for playing the last remaing clue outstanding from the 226 - 235 list. Your thoughts on format ?

I could go for some 91 degrees F right now.... If I were better-heeled I would take a Hawaiin Christmas . For now, the ole' back yard, the roundest ground intow-ow-ow-ow-own - 'Lazy Mornin, you get it, right ?

Dave thanks for playing ! I appreciate any thoughts on the gaming concept very much. Enjoy your weather down there and a very Merry Christmas to you too !
