**cmkeller** is number 43. There are 5 entries with the wrong format. They have been PM’d to come back to clarify their answers. I don’t want to [del]figure out[/del] presume if they want their answer before or after the color.

I’m debating how I’m going to handle this. They might not check back in time before we have 50 in the correct format.

Hmm.

Awww…green was my hardest one. Now I see no one was with me on green tambourine. This call for a [YouTube link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv6GhRDERsk) so I’m not the only one with this ear worm!  
[/QUOTE]

Well, I’m a big fan of the Lemon Pipers (_Green Tambourine_ was the second album I ever bought), so I’m ashamed of not thinking of it.

It’s ok. But what does a girl have to do to make y’all READ THE RULES!!! 😃

I guess since we’re at 48 with **Zebra** ’s correction post, I’m gonna just take the next two correctly formatted posts, whether they be new or corrections.

I’ll just have to have another Feud this afternoon. 😉

Hmm indeed. I wonder if this approach might help solve your formatting problems for all feuds. New rule: No proper formatting, no score for you! If somebody else comes in with the correct format before you come back to correct it, oops, too bad.

I mean, it’s not rocket science.
