jj - good thinking... one thought came to mind for me in your exploration of the prospect of other themes, which , I might add you admirably are not "proprietary about" - I mean, as a compliment , you are not, and people are not, racing to the thought of "I know, I want my OWN list thread ,. so I will come up with my OWN theme... yeaa..that's the ticket.brew-hahahahaha
The short read, cyptic, but discernable, is simply in reading the coloured words below for Oh,Linda's possible dibs she spoke of in changin too if/when food played out...I sort of think until she's back she has dibs in a way...
No, I'm bob-on the benchmark and the bubble is on, though perhaps frozen allready cause I don't have the denatured-alcohol-winter bulls-eye bubble-out yet..lol.. , too.... just some levity, with one kind reminder while Oh,Linda is gone and will be returning on the 3rd of Nov. as I recall she posted in incredible/edible lyrics -
lol remember that whammo----.... burn your hands toy ? - like Fright Factory - where you pour toxic waste on best not know why it glows in the dark on the shrunken head and spider molds....no wait thats vacuu-form.....
incredible -edibles were some rather unlikely chemical mixture that roughly resembled Geocel (no relative of mine, in trouble..lol) , but were intended to be edible Gummi-worm ?? sorta "Kandy" - it was so far off the periodic chart in isotopes; , they had to spell candy wrong to avoid FDA food name entanglements for structural adhesive...lol
OK - Oh,Lindas! -dibs- of sorts on something - was the point -
she played smart and fast in lyrics quizzers and more, and in the process thought of another idea - I won't call it an offshoot of the lyrics thread game, as it may have resembled in planning talk, but rather this Q: "who can lay claim as 'their's' on Gord's lyrics...but Gord himself?" -
so her edible thread was of open sharing format very generously thought out, and in turn , or perhaps out of respect for this fact, while "hers for tallying/hosting" - like "mine" - I don't like even saying it that way ("mine"), again lol -how 'bout like THE thread I help by processing clues and ques and Kalamazoo answers - Hey JJ I am prety sure that is in Geo names to add....its probably there...well anyway, just asking the Q's and answering/sorting/tracking the answers as "fit or no fit" the clue.
Back to
Oh,Linda's! "dibs" - thoughts to allready "do" in her incredible edibles lyrics - ostensibly in the same thread, just
a theme shift, were at least these few discussed by her on a Sunday after jogging, after a little dialogue back and forth on ideas for and urgin her to continue, but HER thoughts remained, for when food played out:
1
."Critters" - - hearing that, while totally unlke "Daisy-Mae" (not Doo lol) in The Beverly Hillbillies, I can't help but recall that Daisy-Mae called all animals.beasts.aquatics.. "critters" and while Linda's much more eloquent and well-read/spoken,(than the "character" that actress played Daisy) Oh, Linda thought this one to shift to
2. and (maybe) a suggestion to her at the time: shift her theme if necessary to "
references to the words - sea(s), the ocean(s), the lakes, rivers, water features to a carto. - allthough I know and so does she that there might be some overlap into geographic names in that....no she meant just the word(s) like 'sailing on the high
seas', as I recall, allthoug they could be extracted from a geo feature name reference, like taking "River' out of Mckenzie River. Sh wanted te word "river" if I remember the discussion that day....
I wish I could remember the other few, but I am sure she would characteristically show open and non-proprietary ways on those as well, any , really, - but I'd leave that opinion of hers a bit presumptuos of me to guess !
I just had this dream/nightmare of 2000 corfid memmers all creating 6-response (you never know....!!!!) theme quizzes as theirs, - as rightfully they should be able to do.... make no mistake of what I say....
just surely the coordinated effort as jj is discussing sounds like the smart route..
I simply would suggest humbly that until she's back - the one's I remember here saying she would shift to when/if food (we agreed it was inevitable - as it is, as are all lyrics thread self-limiting, I think....soon as all songs are done in lyrics quizzers and more.... that, if not sooner, will peter-out too...
SO jj - not at all an admonition to you, I applaud your suggestion of thinkin' on themes for lists....only a quiet reminder of Linda's considered plans as spoken of so far - out of my pervue to say anymore 'til she's back, only trying to be a gentleman as are you jj in your handling... thanks
i'll get off my smooshed shoe box now.....lol

no offense meant
