(Bowing to the master) we're not worthy, we're not worthy......! lol

A visting dignitary ! Joveski - good to have you playin on this one - we've been seeing somewhat less I'd say of ya for maybe a week now . And thats...OK.....cause he's good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it - people like him ! (SNL skit... hope U all remember.....anybody.?.....dink dink dink) - the dink dink dink's are my latest attempt at repetitive, or re-appearing comedy sound effect , Mende - did you ever see Pixie and Dixie cartoons when you were little ? I don't know hpw old you are - I'm 50 and caught the last couple years of those darn little mice.lol....last year actualy lol.....hmmm...anyway dink....dink.. stalking away with the cheese left out by mistake - and sneaking by the cat - dink...dink.....dink.....dink......anybody ?

Ok.... OH - THE GAME ! lol...
Q392 .... proud = 14 karat gold & equal happy ?

Well, yes to it works, no matter that it is not the intended song this round... but I'd have to honestly rule its not a happy or cheerful song. So... Mende - if you disagree on that note, we'll run it up the flagpole - we're still a democracy in here :) - for now, I've gotta say nope. Sorry Bro' . Anyhoo - good to see its down in the 60's and 70's your way.... sound right ? Thanks for playin Mende - the other song..........left - I have the perfect one-sentence extra clue on it....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Thank you very much Misty, and its very nice to hear from you :) Havn't had you come in lyrics quizzers in awhile, and, HEY ! I know what I should tell you about - the Corfid CAFE - I started in small talk - largely because I was blabbing on as you know I do lol... in here, and thought I should move my general blather over to the cafe. its a 'talk about anything on your mind" thread - with kinda rocky numbers in and out, I think because I have not checked in and replied to some quite enough.

Anyhoo - I appreciate the compliment very much, MistyMoppins :) Yes, I never would have guessed this idea would hold interest for as long as it has.... we've gone through several changes in format, simpler rules, etc., and about 8 or so regulars play the most, but anyone of course is allways welcome. Sure would like to have you play !

Which reminds me, Ihave to post my new 10 clue/questions !

Thank you, Misty

geodeticman.5 03-07-2009 04:04 AM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
I'LL HAVE THE NEW 1- UP BY SATURDAY , GUYS, SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

I cooked up a whole new test list theme, with a test change to the clues, they are, for this ten, "double clues" - you'll see, and a simple theme as in the last theme,. however cloying as I look back at the start of the last ten and I am a little embarrassed - "HAPPY SONGS" - I sounded like Mr. Roger's neighbourhood...lol.

I'd look forward to them being up by early evening tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, everbuddy... :biggrin:

I've been catching up on my reading and I think your "Corfid Cafe" is a fantastic idea! Especially with the way everyone gets along so well here - never at a loss for things to chat about!

One thing about this thread that's esp. amazing is the views - somewhere over 15,000? egads! (I'll take credit for some of those! Not brave enough to play, though! LoL!)

Take care. xoxo

Thanks Misty, regarding the Corfid.cafe - it really came very simply from a need to get - and keep-out , my blabberty from this thread, and keep it focused, we wre all having si much fin just talking it got to be hard to find where we were in the game, despite my colorfull updates lol !

BTW - the 'success' if one may say that about lyrics, is not one that should be attributed to me, its the players. i''m just the dummy that asks the questions (granted, with answers allready determined ) - but its definately the player s who desrve the credit. I know everyone appreciates your compliments.

And the cafe has changed to a talk about whatever, whenever, where we can come pretty close to a chat , as I know Patti and I did today. I missed RM in the middle, though; you have to screen refresh to see who all said wjhat. And the idea is sorta that if you have something you want to bend someone's ear on, maybe your down, maybe you're up ! And it doesn;t seem somehoe to warrant a thread of its own - thats the niche for the Cafe.

Thanks again MisytMoppins. Good to see your name in hear again. :biggrin:

geodeticman.5 03-07-2009 10:47 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Misty - one more thought, regarding your comment on the sheer number of 'views' as opposed to posts. It used to be about a 10:1 ratio = view10, post 1 that is... And when I noticed that one time was when Ron Measoner made a casual comment about it, like it might be a record in corfid maybe, who knows, We agreed its interesting to note, but no big deal. I do Wonder how many of those views are coming from outside of corfid proper, like with the tags I have on it, people in other websites on folk music, lyrics etc could do a query on Lightfoot, folk-legends, even geodeticman, and get the thread.

I tagged it with: gordon lightfoot (oddly it changes caps you enter to lower case in the display anyway) ,folk-legend, lyrics , & geodeticman, (5 'words' is all it will take) because I am a member of several different folk & lyrics sites, myspace, other science and math stuff, and I go by geodeticman in all - and maybe we'll get some ppl interested just enough to come in, then stay for the good conversation & music ! I don;t think lyrics holds a record of any kind, even internally - the thread for 'What is you favourite Lightfoot song' comes in first -the old venerable thread that comes up once inawhile like with new memebers, and it rises fron the depths of archival numbers - but its still a live thread, then it gradually sinks back down over time again to 2,000 or something posts !

Its possible the lyrics thread has more loogie-loo views, but I'm pretty sure 'favourite song' has lyrics beat on posts by a long shot. No matter, and at least others brought it up, not myself; raising that question by myself would have felt kind of in poor taste, but its fun someone else did !

Now on views, I noticed that at the time I looked, the 10:1 thing varied seemingly from 5:1 to around 15:1 . So, just for S's and G's, I added 5 thread tags - the key words we all know that commercial sites actually pay people to come up with to catch as many semi-specific queries as possible, and it works. But they take it to a ridiculous spam extreme.

In here, however, when I added the 5 tags, sure enough, at the time we were about 10:1(in lyrics), and rose to 15:1, maybe a fluke, no matter. But it has no bearing on players, now that I think about it. Unles we catch a Lighthead. And as we;ve all said many times, they find us. The tags do work, thread be thread, 5 per.... well enuf of my blabberty. back to work on lyrics for a Satudrday night. I have them all figured out. Just have to format, upload, and throw the giant pump-first Electric main on lol.....we should be up in about an hour or less.

I figgerred you'd get that one lol..... but I actually forgot that when I wrote the Q's I just like that song - its one of his 2 slightly 'jazz' forays...as he spoke of interest in when he "metriculated" into Westlake Collegeof Music in '58 I think...the year I ws born lol. I think Make way for the Lady is the other 'foray'. I'll post your 'big x' .

Hi guys... active game hosting has been temporarily displaced by other things beyond my control. I look to be back at it in a few days, In the mean time, I thought you would appreciate knowing: all your answers awaiting reply are correct.

The only song unattempted is: Q401 .... go.... night .... additional clue : What grows on rocks under timberline for the most part ? I'd laechen it to barnacles.

I'd imagine it was hard to see what was left. You guys nailed this double clue thing like know tomorrow. Did you like the format versus our good-ole regular, theme/no theme; single/double clue ? Please let me know. I'll post formally all your remaining replies ASAP.

SORRY for the delay guys. Thank you for your patience

I miss you guys, and hope to be up and running this weekend (I say this time wise due to a scheduled procedure that should help, and its tomorrow, well really now today, on Friday.) C U gamers ASAP on my end. Thank you for your patience.

Hi guys, I am on a borrowed computer at the moment, and am stuck in a hotel out of town for awhile w/o my laptop, which is on the fritz. I am experiencing Lightfoot/corfid-withdrawal . I'll be on-line only for very limited 5 - 10 minutes, etc, here and there when I can borrow this computer as I am now.

Please accept my apologies for lyrics being down for so long, and for awhile longer as well. Bigger fish in life is frying whether I like it or not - I don't :mad:

I miss all of you in all aspects of corfid; and lyrics quizzers as well. At least I can listen to The Man's music for now. :clap:
