Oh boy. I think that’s my first simulpost! But, what happens now? Is it team 2’s turn?
Yes.
Was it good for you?
Team 2
One is the loneliest number
That you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It’s the loneliest number since the number one
Harry Nillson - One is the loneliest Number
*Team One
Chug A Lug, Roger Miller
Jukebox and sawdust floor
Something like I ain’t never seen
Heck, I’m just goin’ on fifteen
But with the help of my finaglin’ uncle
I get snuck in
For my first taste of sin
I said, “let me have a big ol’ sip…”
Brrrrr…I done a double back flip
Team 2
*Roeena was an artist’s daughter, the deeper image shook her up.
Dee-dee’s mother left her father, took his money and his truck.
Debbie-Rae had no such problems, perfect Norman Rockwell home.
Nina, sixteen, had a baby, left her parents, lived alone.
Bobbie joined a new-wave band, and changed her name to Bobbie-sox.
Eloise, who played guitar, sang songs about whales and cops.
Terri didn’t give a shit, just a nihilist.
Ronnie was much more my style, she wrote songs just like this.
Jezebel went forty days drinking nothing but Perrier.
Dinah drove her Chevrolet into the San Francisco bay.
Judy came from O-hi-o, she’s a Scientologist.
Pomerante, here’s a kiss, I chose you to end this list.

Team One
My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died, Roger Miller
who’ll bid me quarter, thirty cents for a ring of keys
three sixty-five for a dollar bill of groceries
I’ll have me a car of my own someday but 'til then I need a ride
my uncle used to love me but she died
Uhhhhh, guys:
…and both are even the German versions. 'Cmon, if one had been English or Yiddish, then maybe.
Ch-ching!
This is Team 1’s screw up, which *wuz[i/] my team…but , well, ya know, I switched in my mind before this happened, just to even things up.
So, what now?
Is that Team One or Team Two’s screwup? Shibb doesn’t list a team in the post with the Nena song, but in his most recent post, he’s on Team Two.
I guess that makes it
Team 1
Team 2
(1 = 10
)
And it would be Team 2’s turn to pick a word. Yes?
In that case, I swich back again
I assumed it was Team 1, cause it came after Team 2, but you have a point.
So now Team 2 picks the next word or theme. There are less than two hours remaining to complete this task before the game reverts back to Team 1 and the scores even up again…
:: humming Mission Impossible theme ::
The times between Lucy’s and Shibb’s posts are close enough that it may have been a simulpost. And JBERGES probably assumed it was a Team One post as well. Is Shibb around to clarify the matter of his team affiliation?
:smack: I think Kat’s right–just 90 min ago Shibb posted for team 2 I shoulda noticed that.
Seems that makes him a 2’er.
So that means that it’s actually team 1’s point, and we’re up to pick the next word/theme. This is getting terribly confusing.
I’ll go out on a limb here and say that the score now stands as this:
Team 1
Team 2
and we’re up, though I chose the theme last time around. Should I pick another, since time is rather of the essence? (And since Team 2 hasn’t shown up in a while anyway?) If so, I’ll go with emotions.
Team One:
It’s just another sad love song
Rackin’ my brain like crazy
Guess I’m all torn up
Another Sad Love Song - Toni Braxton
Thanks for taking the initiative tlw. I spent the last 90 min trying to pry my foot outa my mouth. (Mmmmmm…wingtips).
Anyways, enough with the acolades
EMOTIONS!! Why not pick songs with “the” in em. I mean, we’re gonna be here…
Aw, shucks.
Team 2 (I’ll STAY on Team 2, since they seem to need players)
Shiny Happy people holding hands…

Angry All The Time, Tim McGraw

I was much happier then
