And the second verse uses the second message and so on. I've deliberately left the first messages blank so that I don't influence your song. Feel free to post messages that you can use in your verses but only one per person please. Go for it. |

Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum, I smell blood of an Englishman be he alive or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread. I was trying to start a song challenge by making up verses from messages in four different threads, but someone didn't catch on and combined the threads which spoiled the whole thing. If they would perhaps put them back as they were then we might just be able to get it to work. |

26 Jul 06 - 10:15 PM (#1794183) Subject: RE: Song challenge, Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum From: Bert MMMMMario, The purpose was stated BEFORE the threads were combined. I couldn't state the purpose in the four separate threads because the whole idea was that the posts to THOSE threads would be spontaneous. I'm sorry that that caused you some confusion. Why would such a song challenge be dumb? It is no more than an on line extension to the Limerick party game. It could have been fun had some over officious editor not combined the threads. A perfectly good song challenge was completely destroyed because some editor's sticky fingers were not connected to his brain. |

26 Jul 06 - 10:43 PM (#1794208) Subject: RE: Song challenge, Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum From: Bill D sorry, Bert, but it WAS sorta This is the internet, and attention span and 'focus time' are limited. A game that could be played in a room with people being attentive is really hard to get across in print, when the print keeps moving. Blaming some "...some over officious editor" because your awkward scheme was bewildering is bordering on petty. You have had kind of a "burr under your saddle" about the editing team and setup. ........we have LOTS of dares, teases, quizzes and games which DO work fine in this type of forum. Try something a bit less convoluted, and I'll bet you get a much better response. |

26 Jul 06 - 10:59 PM (#1794219) Subject: RE: Song challenge, Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum From: Bert Yes Bill, ...there would be some folks reading the 4 posts BEFORE seeing the thread... That was kinda the idea, to get some random element into the process. But as Tom Paxton wrote "Every song in my breast dies a borning" And ...Try something a bit less convoluted... Yes I guess you're right; to expect Mudcatters to count to four seems to have been overdoing it. |

27 Jul 06 - 12:50 PM (#1794670) Subject: RE: Song challenge, Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum From: MMario bert- I meant stated your challenge before you started the fee fie fo fum threads. According to the time stamps you started them first. |
