Encore: Occupations

[Marduk]

Yes, Digit did. However, we've allowed people to count multiple professions from the same song, thus counting for multiple days, so I figured we were ignoring that rule for this round.

If others have a problem with this, I can offer a replacement.

[yayfulness]

I don't care one way or the other, as long as we're clear on it.

[Katya]

I had assumed we were still allowed to count a song only once, but I'll defer to whatever Dead Cat decides.

[Marduk]

Well, I don't care either way, my only point is that we've already done it several times this round. We'd have to do a few retroactive changes in order to make it work.

[Marduk]

Oh, and for today:

"At night he becomes a bartender, he works for mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan street"

-Billy Joel, "Movin' Out"

[Dead Cat]

Well, I don't care either way, my only point is that we've already done it several times this round. We'd have to do a few retroactive changes in order to make it work.

I itched a little when others used two for one songs, but I always feel like an evil dictator when I am moderator so I decided to not say anything. I won't retroactively reject anything done before, but I'd appreciate everyone following traditional rules from now on.

"I was, alas, his nursery maid and so it fell to my lot / To take and bind this promising boy apprentice to a pilot."

"When Fred'ric was a little lad." The Pirates of Penzance.

[Digit]

Cab driver, better take me home (doo doo doo doo)
-Hank Thompson, Cab Driver

[yayfulness]

"They've got trees and mooses and sled dogs, lots of lumber and lumberjacks and logs!"

-Five Iron Frenzy, "Oh, Canada!"

And since I shall be in the Land of No Internet, Or Even Cell Phone Signal Except on Hilltops all day tomorrow,

"Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold."

-The Killers, "Human"

I expect to be home again by the end of the day on Sunday, but if I don't post anything then, it's because I'm still on the road.

[Dead Cat]

DAY 14

And everyone's still in. I wonder if we should do something to speed up the round, but I'll wait until yayfulness comes back before implementing anything.

[Marduk]

"Manic depressive composer Robert Schuman, when he could not write, would get down on his knees and he would pray for help. Its not as bad as eating your own liver, still I'd like to think that there are better methods."

-Crash Test Dummies, "An Old Scab"

[Digit]

Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter,
-Loretta Lynn, Coal Miner's Daughter

[Marduk]

"The railroad men grow restless for to hear the hammers ring"

-Gordon Lightfoot, "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"

[Digit]

"Luke, tell your uncle, when he finds a translator that suits him fine, be sure that it speaks Bocce this time."
-Do You Speak Bocce?

[yayfulness]

I have returned to civilization, running water, and an actual bed! For yesterday:

"'Relax,' said the nightman, 'we are programmed to receive.'"

-The Eagles, "Hotel California"

And today:

"Only her hairdresser knows."

-The Smothers Brothers, "Black Is the Color of My Love's True Hair"

[Digit]

Hotel California makes me think of Hilbert's Paradox.

[Marduk]

Yayful, you need eight words for that song to count.

For me today:

"Just like birds of a feather, we too have followed the golden sun. It feels so good, knowing the watchman's gone."

-Gordon Lightfoot, "The Watchman's Gone"

[Digit]

Nothing coming to mind. I might fall out today
