'tseeer

Q257 Turning.... = Carefree Highway - correct congrats Mende !


Q262 Anywhere.... = I'll Prove My Love - also right, nicely done Mende!

Q264 Oft .... - (and you want another clue allready ? sheeesh ! lol)

maybe if it lags behind the others, I'll give ya a 2nd clue then OKeedokee ?

Thats the first 2 out of the gate correct. If that, compared to Mende's first posting from last set may be compared, in which he got 4 right out of the shoot correct, with a paucity of data may we extrapolate the overall difficulty of the ten Q's ? Statistically, no. But I will anyway. That said, lets 'tseeer: since last set took 5 days (inclusive) - 1/6 - 1/10, we may therefor apply the coefficient of 2, or 'm' - the Mende factor. Therefor, this list should take 10 days, if my outlandish extrapolation proves viable. a hahahahaha :biggrin: I R good at math.

I'll post 'em Mende - thanks for playing. :headbang:

Having established the Mende coefficient of 'm', useful in forecasting how long this list of 10 Q's will take, we have 9 more days to go. My money is on beating that formulae. Math is so cold. If we do not finish in 9 more days, we may blame Mende arbitrarily, for lack of any viable assignment of blame. Moreover, we will ascribe intent to the coefficient being wrong, in which case, Mende, unknowingly, will have knowingly committed a malpheasance.
Don't worry Mende, we'll be there for you on your day in court ! :biggrin:

I know a good atorrney. Never been able to afford him, but he's good. The atorney I have used (and paid a lot of money to) went nuts and was institutionalized right in the middle of my case. I can't imagine what the problem was. I even corrected all the positions of her paper clips in her desk organizer, so they all faced magnetic North, somewhere in Hudson'sBay, and pragmatically explained to her how it moves systematically twice a day; this is known as diurnal change. It also changes moves progressively thru the year, with respect to the agonic line. I was explaining this to her and she burst into flames (she was a drinker; they are known to spontaneously explode anyway) and ran out the door. Next thing I hear, she is in the State Hospital. Quite sad, in reality. Don't worry Mende, we'll get another good one that passes the paper clip test. :)

Q263 .... dead... = Canadian Ralroad Trilogy ? - correct! Congrats Char

We all know that painful moment in concert where Gord sings:

'Many are the dead men.....(pause)' - and the inevitable smattering of people

not very familiar with each and every song of Gords....claps too soon... :clap:

Lightfoot seems to allways take it in stride without letting it effect the song's

magnificence. He finishes then 'too silent to be real' and all is well again.

But one good thing besides the song and Gord: It means quite likely that

there continue to be new fans, or fans attending their 1st concert- both

.....good things. Either that, or of course they might be total dumba88es lol...

Char I'll post your win with Mende's in the x-files....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Some help for everyone on the last remaining clue, and a reminder of which one it is. The 2nd clue I'll give here is not necessarily a word or word(s) from the song, but maybe just a thought that might elicit the song title in your mind.

If this remains unsolved thru tonight and tomorrow evening I'll nuke it and move on to 10 new songs. :)

The last clue to solve in this set of 10 is:

Q256 .... each day - Remains Unanswered
2nd clue: Frequently, maybe even all the time looking at the upside of things due to knowing this lady, and the two of them as a pair are somewhat akin in ways to that of the pairing of two eagles. References to lots of light, allthough the term used for it is more a metaphor for the 'upside' of things. I think I've just given it away.....lol...but thats OK.

Have fun

Welcome to the game...Tom ? Forgive me please, but I can't keep straight yet which Tom is 'thomasj157' versus oTJ...versus, well, the minor variations I have seen for both 'Tom's' ! A visiting dignitary in either case !

And I am not being a gratuitous sycophant on that. I am truly honoured that you, as a member of the team that has produced the magnificent ..works of art.. in your vistories that compliment Lightfoot's work so wonderfully, came in this thread and played the game.

Well, you're here to play the game, not talk shop I'm sure; so lets go ahead on focus on that. I'm talking to myself this time of night in my basement 'office' i.e. a mess of bills, pictures, post Christmas orts and the 'puter of course..lol. OK:

'Tseeer:
Q267 .... my darling = 'You'll Still Be Needing Me' ? Yes ! You got it !

I have to say, at risk of sounding more gratuitous, that I am impressed that you discerned the.... 'positional' nature of the clue words to the whole verse via the dots in the clue, as they are meant to assist you just that way. If you only knew how much ribbing I have taken when I introduced them, and a good 100 posts thereafter ! A visual and conceptual aid is all they are, and you nailed it ! I'll post your winning per your 4lane moniker. We often informally post user's real first names at times when they don't mind, such as 'Linda' from the player screen name 'Oh,Linda!' (the song, of course), and RM we know as Ron informally, etc. But as I am probably the only buffoon who does not remember which Tom is which, I'll post your winning below as
4LaneStudios.

Thanks for playing, I hope we see more of you in the game ! I won't trouble you with vistory questions while you seek recreation in this game; especially what with the current ....propietary difficulties... . So kick your shoes off, put your feet up, and ace my questions more like you just did. I can't seem to make 'em hard enough for the regulars.....down to just one-word clues, and they still will at times blow-away a ten-Q array in 4 hours !

I am informally geo-steve, or Steve, versus my arcane geodeticman.5 lol.....

Well Steve, it is neither Tom/TJ nor oTJ playing. But I will certainly accept your compliments on behalf of the team, and pass them along. 4LaneStudios belongs to the other member of the Lightfoot Tribute Team, Lynn! I am a lover of lyrics, and I've been following your game for some time now and just couldn't resist the temptation when I realized that I actually might have a correct answer.

Now for a second attempt: Q269 -- the "dots" would indicate that it is in a position other than the start of a line, and the capital on "Intended" would make it a proper name.

Lynn (?) - the the 3rd person reference above threw me, sorry I had a

temporal brain stupidema ! I of course remember your name and the Colorado in-Deb-ted member , if I remember right. So while I am trying to get both feet out of my mouth, and offer apology, I'll check out your answer to the clue...lol

Q269 ....Intended - yup. The dots here indicate that not only is the clue word shown by the dots that it is not at the begining of the verse, but moreover, as no dots occur after the clue word(s) either, we may infer that the clue word(s) form the end of the verse line. And as Lynn said, the caps, which normally designate the first word in the sentence of verse, here are still at the end, and are simply a proper noun. So......

Q269 .... Intended = Go Go Round ? - Yes ! Congratulations again to 4LaneStudios !

I'lll post it below in the x-files. :headbang::biggrin:

And we are further convinced we have a formidable new contender !

I've been listening to lots of music this evening :headbang: in search of my next "vistory", and I believe I've found Q270 & Q272:

"From the railhead to the boatyard" -- Long Way Back Home

"Float me out of danger until then" -- East of Midnight

Oh, Linda 01-20-2009 09:41 PM

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

IF SO.....

I submit the song: Alberta Bound

Lyrics: The rocky mountain sunset ~GL

4-Lane: & Linda - I am working on both of yours right now, multitasking at the moment so it might take little while to chart ! :)

BTW - Linda - you are absolutely correct on the singular of Mountains versus plural within the intended song - you got it BTW. There is
a singular usage of it in his lyrical work, but I admire honesty as I am sure you do, so since I did mean Alberta Bound as you surmised likely, you get it ! - Congrats - I'll post it.


& 4-Lane (or Lynn ? :) )

-correct - congrats ! Your work in lyrics right now is serving you well; a labour of love I am sure, but hard work none the less. !

Q272:
"Float me out of danger until then" -- East of Midnight
Absolutely correct ! -

I'll chart 'em all in a bit, and that will put us at:

UPDATE AS OF 9:20 pm., Mtn Std Time, Wed., Jan 21, '09

Thanks for playing, all of you, especially our new contender - 4LaneStudios !

4LaneStudios nails 2 more down ! All in a days work for them as a fortuitous by-product in their GL vistory work. !

Kudos to 4=Lane for immediately picking up the 'dot rules' and 'caps rules' - no doubt aided to a certain extent by not seeing all the permutations of rules that evolved before the current state !

And Linda surmised my error ( now 5th +/- in 275 clues!!) in keying in 'Rocky Mountain' -singular- for the song I did intend - Albertal Bound. I should have keyed in plural on 'Mountains' - intuitively Linda caught the error, and moreover still got the Q right ! All hail Linda All Hail Linda !

BIG 'X' As you'll recall, indicates that the given clue is won and done.

HERE ARE TEN NEW CLUES FOR 12:45 am.,Fri.,JAN 22, 2009 !

Well that last ten went pretty quick. !

We have a new player that allready helped finish their second round; did great, - welcome again to 4LaneStudios in the game. :clap: :headbang:

Missed a few people in this last ten - Char, jj, Dave (of Melbourne), Ron (!)and one or two other regulars my memory is not serving me well on. Y'all come back now from Mt. Pilot !

and thanks to Linda for catching my typo error on Rocky Mountain (+/- s). I set it up plural, and in the intended song Alberta Bound, it is in fact singular.
I think after being notified by her posting to win the clue of the error, I still managed to typo it again in an update,. duuuuuuh. Thanks Linda ! - for putting up with my typing ! :rolleyes:

I'm trying to give 4Lane a break for R&R from working by not asking any vistory questions. As I'm sure they are up to their necks in alligators, working away on more vistories and perhaps the proprietary questions simultaneously, I figure no need adding water to the swamp for them......good to have them. :biggrin:

Hope you like the new ten.

All songs can be found in Lightfoot.ca under Lyrics/Chords.

Again, this set there will be NO OLDIES, NO pre '65,NO pre UA songs at all. Stated otherwise, all songs are from the 'classic 20' albums. No story clues, no rarities, only the songs we ALL know :clap: :biggrin: :headbang:

Have fun ! :clap: :headbang:
