You know it, you can't stand it! It's that LSWE tradition known as the short snippets game! Below you've find twenty very small lyrical samples from what should be reasonably well known songs. How small? No more than four words long! While I didn't do any digging to verify uniqueness this time around, I can be reasonably certain these short samples don't appear in any other song of renown. And if they do..... well, that's just another song you can get credit for!
Good luck, and remember you have all weekend (though not until late Monday morning!)....

1. Slow motion weekdays Freeze Frame - J Geils Band (Without my old lyrics site that allowed me to easily scan songs quickly looking for unique phrases, for creating much of this game, I resorted to going through old LSWE games.... and it's amazing how many times I came across this song. Kind of an unsung "One NIght in Bangkok"....)

13. Above the waistline One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head (I had a game made up of all LSWE classics, but I'd already started to break it up to use the songs in other games, so I figured I better throw this in before I forget and ruin my streak...)

Image Bonus: Take any one of the twenty SHORT SNIPPETS above and show me an image that represents it. Also, please tell me which one you are using. Let's see how many of you mess up these simple instructions this year.... I decided to play hardball here with those who didn't follow the directions. Those who didn't list which snippet they were using got IB credit, but no JJC points for it. Those who used an image of one of the song titles did not get IB credit at all. As The Real Todd Rundgren used to famously say...... Read the friggin rules!!!
Now, onto business as usual. Since there wasn't any one image that stood out from the rest, I decided to award the IBB to Weasel, who hasn't won the bonus yet this year despite putting a lot of work into finding funny shit every game. Besides, how often do you get to see airplane porn?

JJC Points:
Panic gets a JJC point for double jaws of the alien...
Weasel gets 3 JJC points for the missionary flight and the sad news about Pat...
Krox gets 2 JJC points for a slimier version of the alien...
frank gets a supermax for Creepy King flipping off Mickey Dee's...
Beebs gets a supermax for completing her assignment this time. Something about the Jimi Hendrix answer cracked me up...
Sprots gets 3 JJC points for Kroxing the only short snippet I ever used in one of these games that was verified as NOT being unique, and for coming up with a better cat image than Earl did...
mrk gets 2 JJC points for a very disturbing image...
Vandal gets 3 JJC points for Billy Bored Thornton's dental X-rays...
Earl gets 3 JJC points for loving the short snippet game, clutching the mantilla, having something to do after playing, and for clapclapclapclapclap (Yeah, that's four things, but you can't earn 4 JJC points. It's impossible)....
Can I get an explanation for not gettng any image bonus?
What rule did I not follow?

Also, please tell me which one you are using.
Check
Those who didn't list which snippet they were using got IB credit, but no JJC points for it
I listed the snippet.
Those who used an image of one of the song titles did not get IB credit at all.
I don't believe Biden/Harris 2024 as one of the snippets, and if so, was not the one I chose.
And I though it quite humorous. And it could be interpreted two ways, depending on your point of view and ability to appreciate humor.
Your image was based on one of the song titles, which you even listed ("#4 - Won't Get Fooled Again") The directions were to proved an image based on one of the snippets (In the case of the song you listed, that would be "The new constitution").
Don't feel bad... my hard-assedness came from the fact that so many people messed up the same thing you did just about every year I've run this type of game, and I know it's been a while since you played as a regular.
And as far as political humor in the LSWE goes, it's more likely I'm not going to get something than be offended by it. I really, REALLY go out of my way to stay "uninformed" (part of the reason I disappeared for a while last year).....

Ahhhh! Thanks for the explanation.
Glad you didn't write the questions for the SAT, though I do suspect you did help with some of the Texas Exam for CPAs.
