Default Re: Hello All

Nice 2 hear from U again, Doug !

Are you aka ole' 'PlumbGuru2' by any chance I recall all the way back to alt.music.lightfoot ? - where I was 'GISman' -and earlier - MAPman ?

The crowd may have mellowed a bit since '06, or so; as I was out of corfid for family medical needs for about 1 year or so, and when I came back, there were'nt any cowboys shootin' up the saloons and tree'en the town...like maybe 1 or 2 were back in '06, verbally so to speak lol... its pretty mellow around here.---------

On a personally biased note I'd invite you into two threads I've enjoyed posting:

1. 'GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more' - it goes like this:

Q199....tin - and the dots tell you here the word(s) is/are at the end of the verse...and here tin rings a bell for many with 'Affair on 8th Avenue',

so you post a guess with one line of lyric or verse , in this case ending with
...tin , then name the song, and submit !
If it is the song I had in mind when I wrote the Q, or another song that works, bingo, if you're the first to get a working song - you win it.

I should have ten new song clues up by mid-day monday - my last estimate was in hopes of our last tough one up be solved, as I was having some other matters to content with....but my guess of 10 new songs by end of eve Sat night sorta 'shorted out'..lol...

So, the natives grew restless and 'nuked' my last problem tuffy Q..sayin "get 10 new songs up go888$t" ..lol....the perogative of understood-to-be regular old hands at the game once in awhile... but I sorta, well I do "host" the game, its just ongoing posts, as we all have a chance...

------ + similar
AND...there are several lyrics and/or other games or 'thinkers' I call 'em going, all fun. one with 'themes', now food, that will re-fire when its 'host' -

Like Oh,Linda! returns Monday or tuesday - the 3rd or 4th ,
can't remember. Just find songs with food or drink - consumables in them.

And jj is writin some good theme ones, or tracking community efforts thereto on others,

And I C
"RM" - (Ron) has a (resurected Ron ?) new(!) lyrics thread up with 123 posts or so allready ; have not seen yet tonight; will have to look. I think I drove them over the edge waitin on 10 new clues, so they built a saloon next door ....lol --------------------------
or, if thats not your cuppa, or in any event, a newer one I just started seems to be of some interest for a couple days anyway....
2.) "You KNow You are a GL fan if......."
no rules...you simply fill in the blank, as in :

(You know you are a GL fan if)...you listen to Summertime Dream 17,000 times in bed with earphones lol....
- we've had some real well thought out ones so far....

And of course, aside from the tangent of games and fill in the blanks, or guess this or that, you know the drill; we've all sorts of interesting ones up - and you remember the all the old quizzes we used to have, right ? Sort of a resurgance of them for a while.Welcome back again.
