congrats yancy.

Johnny Dickshot Oct 31 2005 07:46 AM

I don't see my place here. Do I face Lundy first-round or wait for a play-in? Either way, I'm about ready.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2005 07:59 AM

Lundy's your opponent.

Nymr83 Nov 04 2005 06:35 PM

we might need this thread, dont want it getting lost.

Willets Point Nov 04 2005 06:49 PM

This thread is a bit of a folly. I copied the html from Edgy's posts in the long thread, but I discovered I'm not skilled (and patient) enough to keep it up to date.

Scarlet and Yancy already played out of this round while we're still waiting for two more pairings to play their way into it. Over-achievers.

Johnny Dickshot Nov 08 2005 11:06 PM

I think we need to correct this notion that I'm a luminary. I don;t think I've ever won 2 tilts in one year.

Willets Point Nov 08 2005 11:28 PM

Well, you're a #5 seed, so you must be doing something right.

Kase, I'm coming up near-empty. I have a song in the hopper, but I don't like it enough.

KC Nov 15 2005 07:24 AM

I have a song and subject, but need more time. I propose we change our self-imposed Tues @6pm to Wed @6pm. I should be ready by then, lmk on Wed afternoon here if that's working out for you.

Edgy DC Nov 15 2005 09:25 AM

OK, I thank you and Pumpsie Green thanks you. He was getting ready to head into the breach and get slaughtered.

Rockin' Doc Nov 15 2005 05:07 PM

I know the feeling Edgy. I have a song title and little else for the Bud Harrelson sudden death playoff with Seawolf. I just can't seem to find anything that inspires me. Good, bad, or indifferent, I will have something by tomorrow evening.

Edgy DC Nov 15 2005 05:10 PM

Trading allowed?

seawolf17 Nov 15 2005 05:20 PM

Jimmy Dugan: Are you trading? Are you trading? ARE YOU TRADING? There's no trading... there's no trading in song parody contests! Johnny Dickshot read my parody once, and he called it a steaming pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents logged in all the way from home to read my song parody. And did I offer to trade? NO. NO. And do you know why? Edgy: No, no, no. Jimmy Dugan: Because there's no trading in song parody contests.

KC Nov 15 2005 05:32 PM

I generally always think my current song sucks since I like most of the other submissions so much that I feel I can't measure up and I never think I'm quite ready. If I lose, I think I'll skip the losers lounge and go to the sofa and doctor lounge - no booze - therapy ... that's what I need lol.

Rockin' Doc Nov 16 2005 08:26 PM

I'm as ready as I will ever be. Whenever I see Seawolf online, we'll get the Bud Harrelson tie breaker started.

Willets Point Nov 18 2005 12:34 AM

I've seen some brilliant parodies so far overall, but based on their track records in this tourney I forsee a Sharpie-Yancy final. Not that I'm usually right about these things.

Edgy DC Nov 18 2005 12:49 AM

Sharpie knows that psychedelia is gold.

sharpie Nov 18 2005 09:31 AM

Shattered and Life During Wartime, not psychedelic.

Edgy DC Nov 18 2005 10:05 AM

Indeed no, but from "I Am McDowell," to "Dae's Oddity" to "Pedro Is the Guy Dwarves Climb On," psychedelia has been running the table this year. Throw in the psychedelia lite that is the classic bubble gum genre, and it's been a panzer blitz. i mean, I didn't say that's all you know.

Valadius Nov 18 2005 03:20 PM

"Pedro is the Guy Dwarves Climb On" is the song of the tournament so far, in my opinion.

Valadius Nov 22 2005 03:51 PM

And we have our Final Four!

Edgy DC Nov 23 2005 11:02 PM

We're indeed down to four. Have a nice holiday everybody, then we'll settle this thing.
