"his mouth was as large as a tunnel so they say"

[geodeticman.5]

Joveski -

On Q 106 & 108:

You wrote

106: If you need me
108: Don quixote

on Q106

from "If you Need Me" : ~gl
If you want to know all reasons for
The things I feel inside
You can run away and hide if you want to...
You got it !

And on Q108:
You tried: Don Quixote:

See the wise and wicked ones, who feed upon life's sacred fire
See the soldier with his gun, who must be dead to be admired ~gl

You got it again !

Well done Joveski !

BTW - re: weather - I'll PM if thats OK, you so I don't distract from the game. My mistake. Thanks !

Q107 - She's Not The Same

"Don't look now, she's right BEHIND you"

(I didn't cheat.........I confirmed)

[jj]

for 107, I was thinking of "I'm leaving you behind" from the Mountains and Marianne

for 108, of the many "fire" lyric phrases from different tunes, the tune that stands out to me is Ballad of Yarmouth Castle...I'm confusing many lines but something like "and now the fire is raging" or "fire glowing"?

how is the relational dB coming, steve, lol....that's a lot of copy and pasting just to get started...don't lose sleep (day or night, lol) over it

[RM]

For Q107 I also considered CRT

"Behind the blue Rockies". But I thought that would violate the "dot(........) rule" since it was the first word of a sentence.

[jj]

I don't know, rm....those are yellow dots...previously they were white ones...the various colours may indicate a different representation...we really need an ump or field judge...I'm going to refrain from tossing the challenge flag this time...good answers, all...awaiting official word from the geoman

[RM]

Still awaiting the final ruling..........it may be a Labor Day weekend break, or perhaps the responses are under instant-replay review.

[jj]

must be a Labour WEEK break, lol

I'm suffering withdrawal actually...better send out a search party, agh

[geodeticman.5]

Note patient friends and players of the quiz game, thanks for your patience, and if you wish to skip the odd nature of my last several days, simply jump down to yellow below, where Q'S 103-108 ARE ANSWERED.

OK troops. I have returned, and note with satisfation your thoughts were generous regarding my absence, speculating as to the possibility of Labour day weekend activities,etc. .

In fact, I've been sick, which would not normally stop my participation, but without excessive detail regarding other infirmities, my post-surgical optical acuity has been shot-to-he** until today.eg I could not see worth sh**.

But, as I was once again on the Isle of St. Kilda/Hirta, in the outer Hebrides, Scotland, where I got my snivles, and grew deathly ill while trying to relax and recover.Wrong climate for that. So I flew over to Skye Isle, and I tried to view the 280' tall Monument to Sir William Wallace "Braveheart", and the magnificent moument of Sir Robert The Bruce. Both are on the Isle of Skye, not far from Stirling University where our last 6 questions were verified, as the Isle of Skye is one of the last bastions, nay, home to the ancient Gaelic Cultures and traditions, and Lightfoot himself has said he is part Scottish, so its no coincidence some of the etymology of the more unusual terms we've encounterd cite a Scottish origin, or Celtic.

Nevertheless, I asked an abbot of the only standing, inhabitable structure of what were once three Chapels, now ruins of Monasteries, except that of St. Brendan, on the Isle of St. Kilda/Hirta a pair of islands considered "one" of the 14 outer Hebrides. Once again, the evil Lord of Dunvegan, who robbed my famil of its "Dun" components, and then made the first aluminum sleeved Sterling engined Horsless Carriage at the turn of the 1900's, and added the distiunguished vehicle's meltable engine wonder to his name as proud as he was, thus becoming Lord DunVegan.

This Lord was responsible for having the last of the ancestral inhabitants "evacuaated" by helicopter in a storm in 1937, thus leaving the island and its mysterious ruins empty all, but St Brendans Monastery that is. It is in this Monastery that the Abbot was willing to research several terms while my eyes were in ruin. My/His findings were confirmed at the University of Sterling, in the Inner Hebrides Islands, for veracity.

Thus, we have confirmation of questions of Q's 103 - 108 !.

However, after Lord Dunwith Vegas, er... Dunvegan, ostensibly evacuuated the isleof St. Kilda in '37, leaving the land in his posession less the sacred Monastery, Church, and its medaevil era-strong Library, lo and behold but what should be built there, but when the Commonwealth of Scotland commandeered the better part of the Isle, recompensing the heir-apparent to its salvage-rights maester;Lord Duvegan ! He pocketed some healthy notes from the Minstry of Defence, of all public agents, and low and behold, the Defence Ministry dug, err,, rather deep, and built several missile silohs, and also a missile tracking station, there to this day. The silohs are not discussed.

But we know. They maintain they are simply marching the 12 ft. fence topped with coiled barbed wire angled outward because the value of the fence is such that they must maintain one man there in charge, known as the "Minister of Dae Faences" -and his simple troops of "snaepers" who wear the colours of Lord Dunvegan's military plaid. Men coming upand down into and out of the ground through an airsealed motized 6-ft diameter "haetch" are said to be "simply makin' uise of the common facilities any man takes leave of several times a dae". Well, be that as it may, back to Q's 103 - 108.

q'S 103-108 entries for the last several days, now we are back on track, lest I die and be sent back to me' ancestral home of dear Scotland....

Q103 clue was ....handle.... formerlyLavender propsed the song "Now and Then" - which is correct ! Congratulations FornerlyLavender

Q104 Clue was ....tunnel so....and Joveski offerred the correct song "Ode to Big Blue" - congratulations Joveski !

Q105 Clue was....lovely river.... and jj offerred the correct answer of "Boathouse" and regailed us with a few variations on lyrics, verse , and simular=ted ssong sounds with the state-of-the-art "dee-de-dee-de-de-dee-dee" we've all done in a pinch for sound effects for our amusement and favourable impression upon our moderator, the lovely and stylish Char ! Congrats jj !

Q106 Clue was....hide...., and Joveski " nails it with "If You Need Me"

Q107 Clue was....behind.... RM nails it precisely, with fore-and-aft dots in mind in the clue, precluding CRT, and leaving 'She's Not the Same" - Congratulations RM, well thought out.

lastly, Q108 Clue was ....fire...., and Joveski three-peats it with his iron-man fast-ball and brings in the Song
Don Quixote

A few comments and Q'S from the players emerged:Rm notes that dots preceeding the clue that otherside would have worked for CRT if the dots were only to the right of the clue...good call RM. "That left it She's Dot the Same"..screeech--*&66&%sorry folks that was "She's Not the Same" lol....

Conjecture in jest arose from the ranks as to: "those yellow dots may mean something different"., and also a reminder/question to me as to thinking I was going to change on ambiguous cases..my humour must have been poor , cause I made mention of running by ambiguities by a panel of wisemen, and in jest at that, cause if you thought these last 6 took a while, if we systematically ruled out ambiguity by peer-revue: 1. - They're be no-one left to play, and 2. It would take too long, and 3, I'd pass the deal LOL. No, -actually, the dots to the left and/or right, as RM reasoned, considerably cut down on the ambiguous cases, the other half is in the selection of clues,...but somewill still leak thru, hey its a game.... and I think its going fine with the dots now...really.... lol, but common -sense has prevailed, and for the record, as was the final interpretation, dot color doth not telleth a story...I've got thome hair on my tongue. And thank you's and apreciation go out to all the contestants who exhibited the patience, good taste, and sportmanship with such kind comments as deference to waiting for GEOman to make his rulings et al. Thank you. We'll knock Q's 109 - 114 out quick...

WELL DONE MY COLLEAGUES & ETYMOLOGICAL ACES !:biggrin :

[formerlylavender]

Q109 - Inspiration Lady

I just had to jump back online because I thought of it as soon as I walked away from the computer.

Welcome back - glad to hear you're feeling better.

[RM]

Q110 - Go My Way

"Go my way it's the only way TO GO "

[geodeticman.5]

formerlyLavender. you must've watched the tj157 team vistory of "Inspiration Lady" too ! I just saw it this morning, and I had it goin' through my head....

formerlyLavender formally gets Q109: Inspiration Lady" !

CONGRATULATIONS! - and thank you for the comment - I am feeling better thank you.

[geodeticman.5]

RM, IS ON THE BALL , AS IS formerlyLavender this AM. You've been patient, now you guys are jumpin' all over 'em. Truth be told, RM, yours makes three valid cases, a new record not only for an ambiguity, but particularly for one that ends or starts a sentence - i.e. no dots to left, or to the right. To be sure, I verified your entry in Wayne's World, as memory did not serve on this one; I tend to be weak on the UA period off the cuff. Sure 'nuff:

Q110 - ....to go

Go my way it's the only way to go
If things aren't working out you'll be the first to know
"Go My Way" ~gl

CONGRATULATIONS RM !

[joveski]

I strike again! - Q109 could also be 10 degrees and getting colder.. (For a ride in the morning sun)

111: Softly

113: Crossroads

[jj]

greetings steve...hope you're getting more well by the minute

q112 => CRT - ...with our teardrops "and our" toil

q114 => i've no clue...ok, we all have a clue...but i've no idea

[geodeticman.5]

Sorry guys, I'm back. I'll spare you the details, Docs have been runnin' me through the wringer....so lets get back to it ! er....uhm... BTW - the reason all of you Flyin' Aces could not get Q114....shown by.... is cause ..er.. Proof positive I am not looking 'em up in Wayne's World or our own Database in corfid !

I mis-spelled it ! The moon, past-tense should have "shone" by suppertime, not "shown by"as the clue read. I am gratified no one looked there's up either - dang we're good.... boy did I blow it lol... I spelled shown phonetically, hearing the song in my head, and .. well.. what can I say but I am sorry, and for the wait as well. If'n you're still interested' I'll spare the colorful belated congratulations, other than one big congratulations to you all on the last set...and get right to the next set, Q's 115 - 120 ! I've missed this !

Here is what I got wrong, spelled correctly by the Man:
Born in the country and I like that country smile
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child
That I knew and a big harvest moon
That shone by suppertime in the dusty afternoon
-Brave Mountaineers ~gl

OK

Moving right along with the next set 115 - 120:

Q115....don't know....

Q116....more neon....

Q117....drive all....

Q118....it's me

Q119 Down around....

Q120 And to be....

HAVE FUN ! & Thanks for hangin' in there...

[geodeticman.5]

Oh BTW - Thank you jj and formerlyLavender- for the kind coments while I was not doin so good. 'preciate it. Onward! as FDR was famous for saying, I think... lol

[Jesse Joe]

Q 119 - Bend In The Water ?


"Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishin' line"

[geodeticman.5]

Jesse Joe - Congratulations !
You got me on that one... an ambiguous case I'd not anticipated, and I should have - I love that song. You cased-out the dots and capitalized first letter right to ID it as the start of a line, and as it turned out, that is correctly-so for the one I intended - No Hotel - where "Down around" starts several lines if memory serves, and it most definately does in Down around the :Bend in the Water, as you got correctamundo !

Way to go Jesse ! That's the first of our new 6 Q's 115 - 120. Q119 is done!

BTW - I've been doing Red, White, and Blue for fun and patriotism on the USA flag, but thoughtlessly it had not even occurred to me to respect other flag colours for other countries ! Well, realistically, I'd best not tackle that until circumstances permit staying ahead of you speed lyrics racers lol. Then maybe... HOWEVER - Note the word 'ambiguous' above in Red and White, deliberately for you, Mon Ami, pour la Canada ! - Your Flag ,by memory is of course the Red Maple Leaf on the White background, right ? How's my 36 year-old Francaise from 9th grade ? I probably said "good job, goat breath" and don't know it lol

Thanks for playing Jesse. Hope we can add you to the 'regulars' !

[Jesse Joe]

Your francais is not bad at all mon amis... "la" Canada would be "le" Canada, but it is a very small error.

I didn't think of "The No Hotel" which was your answer and the right one... Notice I had put a (question mark) on my answer, as I was not sure if it was correct.

I do read them all but find them more difficult to solve than say; "Joveski" which is really good at this...

Dont be afraid to tell me if I was wrong Steve ...

Keep up the good work Geo Steve !

[RM]

Q115 - If You Could Read My Mind

"I DON'T KNOW where we went wrong.....

[Jesse Joe]

Very good RM, I was going for;

Q115- "It's worth Believin"


There's a warm wind tonight
And the moon turns the tide
When the stars take their ride she'll be leaving
Where she goes, I don't know



The master of these {trivia quizzes} will have to give us the answer here...

Waiting For You " GEO STEVE" !!!
