I'd be pretty certain that this thread would've gone on for considerably longer had it not been for the "mischief" wrought by a certain "guest" who went through a couple of phases of multiple posting (starting just about when the last two tracks were equal in their score). Ah well, perhaps he/she/it saved us from ourselves. Though he/she/it did a disservice to the dancing girls. As it were.

Perhaps we need to do Poguetry in Motion next for a quick bit of light relief. :wink:

Agreed FH...whilst the dancing girls were miffed by the guest hijacking, they flounced off in a HUFF when "regular" raft dwellers violated decorum (yes, you Hennybhoy). They are on holiday in Ecuador, licking their wounds...

Well, especially because Drag had overcome Sick Bed and signs pointed to it possibly getting the victory. Once I noticed that the mischief was standing, I stopped participating. It's a pretty pointless game anyway, but when someone can just log in as different users and skew it to whatever side they want, it makes the game even more pointless.
I dunno...just my thoughts.

I'll second that. It's essential listening, and unless we're planning to do the best ofs, we'll miss some of the greatest songs.

Tho' i'm again gonna find myself voting for 2 songs equally, 'cause how the @#$ is one supposed to choose between "Body" and "Rainy Night"? I think we oughta vote for "best ballad" and "best barnstormer" on each one, then i'd have a fighting chance of making proper votes!

Or we could do Poguetry in Motion game as if it were a knock out cup competion, put the four names in a hat, draw out two pairs, have a vote on each leg, the two winners going into the final and the others going into a third place play off.

No idea how we could do the voting though, I don't think that polls have been enabled on the good ship Medusa's forum software.

Looks like he managed four votes in one day, maybe we should start again from scratch.

I seem to recall some skullduggery on the RRFM game, block voting IIRC.

Hmm, Ecuador, sounds tempting. I once shared a small boat with the then current Miss Ecuador about eight years ago.

If you are suggesting that the Cadillacs bussed in reinforcements from out of state, shame on you! That was all perfectly legitimate, if a little Chicago-esque.

In any event, I called this one right, for once.
