NEW REMINDER OF WHAT CLUES ARE LEFT SYSTEM: I am using a new symbol and full list status system as shown below:
Note: If this for any reason is awkward in use for any player, please don't hesitate to say so
.
Char had wisely recommended "reminder" lists here and there, this automated version should be more thorough, quicker, and more accurate in keeping status from "Host error" lol.

X in the main list to the right means a successfully answered clue, or we can institute other notations, but I see no need now for that. The main list where clues are first given is automatically updated as well, for those who wish to look at the "original' :)

NOTE: X MEANS ALLREADY WON & DONE !

Song: Does Your Mother Know

In the faded winter light

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
I answered 161 first!
lol
I had that lyric for TEN DOLLARS running thru my old head but it was full of the other songs and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out!
aaargghhh!

and I should have got EVERGREEN with Knotty Pine running thru my head with TURPENTINE as another word from the same song!!!!..
I have a headache now..
;)

Isn't that a violation of the 'dots rule" ?

Here we go again.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !

I can't remember the dot dot dot rules..

I cheated, so I won't reveal the correct answer. But if geosteve accepts Jesse Joe's answer..........things could get ugly.

charlene 10-13-2008 04:34 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
aha - so now I have to think of the RIGHT song..
hmmmm.....
hold off on the ugly for the time being...

Can you enlighten me as to the ... rule? I can't bear to go searching for it in the last 16 pages..

aha - I figured it out - we have ... then the word, it means it should be the last word of the sentence..

ok..gotta think..think think think..
what rhymes with green???hmmmm...hmmm...hmmmm...
I think I hurt myself...

MEDIC !!!!

Yes, you are interpreting the rules correctly.

I may be wandering into geo steve's jurisdiction, but here's a slight clue :
It's one of Lightfoot's lesser-known songs, and I don't think I've ever seen it on anyone's list of favorites.

Q168 ....throng....

I'd say Redwood Hill but I don't think the dot rule works here geo Steve.

I climbed a Redwood Hill
'twas on a rainy day
To rise above the throng
and talk with mother nature for awhile ~ GL


Are we allowed to make it one giant sentence? LOL!!

Then how about I handily combine the nifty dots and dashes . . . _ _ _ . . . and have a little fun. Any guesses?

For the sake of sanity, I second that motion.

charlene 10-13-2008 08:16 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
I first read it as THONG..
lol
oh dear. this game is gonna kill me..
dots before AND after the word..what's that mean Ron?

back to EVERGREEN...hmmm....

So did I! My dots and dashes are a distress signal, actually, you may use them if you like! Hint Hint they are letters....

It's open to various interpretations, but my understanding is that the word between dots is not the beginning word or the last word in a lyric.

I encourage everyone to join Oh, Linda in her campaign to have a "one giant sentence" rule.
