2. He sat on the stony ground.
And he took a cigarette out.
And everyone else came down to listen.

3. Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best

With knowin' I got no one left to blame

Where she cast a spell
And in that Southern moonlight
She sang this song so well

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat - paper cups (I have a great Lowell George story I'll tell you sometime

JJC Points:

megaaddict gets a JJC point for Mounds of Temptation, and even throwing in JJC himself. Didn't see that coming from him...

mntetn gets a JJC point for guessing Viva Las Vegas on the wrong song...

TLITF got the Supermax of 5 JJC points, because he mined just about every spot you could pick up a JJC at. From questioning softlines (Retail terminology for the clothing area), to calling me an "ignant non-Midwesterner" for using the word soda, to even throwing in a few good humor answers at that. Clem isn't the only one who can get the big points from me...

ghost got 3 JJC points because she cracks me up! Seriously!

TBone gets his usual 1 JJC point for humor....

KT gets a JJC point for ripping on the soda...

Saucy gets 2 JJC points for associating Carefree with feminine hygeine products. Believe it or not, I originally had an "Always" song in this game with the intention of adding maxi pads to the grocery list. Then the other night at work, I just happened to spot a box of Carefree maxis, and about had a conniption fit because I realized I had to different brand names of pads in the game. What were the odds? I originally tried to make the game where there was only one possible answer for each song from the grocery list, but eventually gave up with instances like Life cereal. Maxis never made it back into the game though....

Elwood's JJC answer got him 2 points...

HSoB gets a JJC point for always returning her carts to the corral when she's done. The little blue Neon looks like the surface of the moon from 8 years of spending the night in the Mecca parking lot, and it's because of runaway carts customers don't bother to return to the corral....

Fanny gets a JJC point for Carefree as well, butnot for courtesy clerks because I've never heard that term used before!

Clem gets 5 JJC points despite only knowing 1 song. If the point of the game were to come up with the funniest answers for each set of lyrics, clem would be kicking ass in this game....

Why thank you. I am humbled. I wasn't calling YOU an ignant non-Midwesterner. Clearly you just FOUND the shopping list. I'm calling the shopper who left it there an ignant non-Midwesterner.

Being a punk-ass, I'm not THAT humbled. I was particularly proud of "chick-lit" = "chicklet"

Shhh....in my head I'm pretending that is the point. That's what keeps me sane while playing...

Yes, that's just the way it ought to be, if it weren't for all these folks who drive by to play for a single day and then are never heard from again, forever cluttering up my beloved cellar!

All y'all can fight over the top of the standings all you want. Is it too much to ask for me to be left in my cellar in peace?

And did you notice how Clem and EB got in a fight on the Dating Game yesterday and Wink Martinsquirrel had security escort all three of us out, even though I was a completely innocent bystander?

Why is Marley complaining about the cellar anyway? That's nitrah's job.....

No, he cleans basements. I live in cellars.

Or, as a friend and his kids refer to it, my hobbit hole.

[minimetoo26]

We're not just going to GIVE you the cellar--you have to earn it.

Unless everyone is willing to cede post #262626 to me, that is...

[MarleysGh0st]

We're not just going to GIVE you the cellar--you have to earn it.

But you see, that's the thing--I have earned it! I'm playing this game every single day! Ok, there are some days when I'm not posting a reply but that's because I don't have any answers to give and beast has made it abundantly clear that he's "not taking attendance". But at least I'm trying my best, slogging it out in the LS trenches each and every day!

But what about these other people? They play once. That's it. Are we to believe that they honestly know less that I do about pop music, so that they can never again answer a single question for the rest of the season???

Or are they just too damn lazy to pick themselves up and move out of MY cellar?
