Encore - practice round

[NerdGirl]

They are actually white. I'll let you in on a secret; they wear body paint that's blue.

That's a lie! Lies! They're blue!

[Dead Cat]

I hope using a parody of Katya's won't kick me out, but...

"Take the yellow one, not the one that's burnt umber. And don't you take that purple one it's covered with lumber: a log truck overturned last Tuesday--take the Yellow Sidewalk."

--"The Yellow Sidewalk"

[C is for]

Apples red, and apples yellow. Round and juicy, sweet and mellow

~Autumn Day

[ahem.]

Big yellow joint, big yellow joint, I'll meet you down at the big yellow joint.


This is hard. I keep thinking of songs about things that are yellow (sun, lemon, etc.), but few that actually have yellow in the lyrics.

[Katya]

I don't see why it would, unless it's essentially the same song.

Here's a thought: What if, in future games, the person who thinks of the category doesn't play? (Or maybe they start off with an example, but they don't play after that.) That way, they can impartially judge what counts and what doesn't.

Yeah. It's a weird word and a hard one to rhyme with. "Red" would probably be much easier, but I wanted to challenge the players.

[bobtheenchantedone]

This is me, I am Yellow, I'm a very frightened fellow! Being yellow and a chicken is no fun.

-Some song on a computer game we used to have

[Marduk]

Late last night, I heard a screen door slam.
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man

-Big Yellow Taxi, Amy Grant

[Tao]

Red, yellow, green, red, blue, blue, blue, red purple, green, yellow, und red.

Professor Ludwig von Drake - color song

[Unit of Energy]

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

[ahem.]

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Dang. I was sitting on that one for round three.

[Tao]

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Dang. I was sitting on that one for round three.

heh, sitting on the old oak tree? I'd also thought of it, but went with the Disney instead.

Yeah. It's a weird word and a hard one to rhyme with. "Red" would probably be much easier, but I wanted to challenge the players.

Whew. I don't know how much easier red would have been. The round would have gone on for weeks, and we'd have troubles with repeats after the third or fourth page, methinks.

[bobtheenchantedone]

Round two is over. Katya, Dead Cat, C is for, ahem., bob, Marduk, and Tao passed. krebscout and Emiliana dropped. Unit of Energy joined.

[ahem.]

She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. (Brad Paisley, She's Everything)

[bobtheenchantedone]

Red, yellow, and blue, a square and circle too. A heart, a star, a triangle are what we'll learn today!

-Some really dumb TV game we have

[C is for]

Blue and green and streaming in the yellow sky.

~Ribbons Down my Back

[krebscout]

Oh I totally wasn't understanding what was going on. That's okay.

[bobtheenchantedone]

Oh I totally wasn't understanding what was going on. That's okay.

I must admit I still don't really know what's going on... I'm simply doing stuff and hoping I'm right. : ) If you want to jump back in this round anyway that's okay, I think. This is the practice round, after all.

[Katya]

Oh I totally wasn't understanding what was going on. That's okay.

That's why it's a practice round.

[Katya]

The cow as white as milk, / The cape as red as blood, / The hair as yellow as corn, / The slipper as pure as gold.
