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?

THE FIRST TWO POSTS STAND AS CALLED ON THE FIELD

UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THE ABOVE POST ONLY SCORES ONE POINT

ADJUSTMENT -0 FOR COUGAR

edit:
i stand corrected. sorry, missed the titles

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.

Bob R · 12-17-2003, 07:20 PM

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!
