Calling Dr. Love
KISS
lincoln
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Re: thought the rule was dupes in thread.
Seems the rules get made up as we go along, but ol' Linc has a point; much like the game of Life (not the board game, the computer thing from the '60s), we run the risk of "blinkers" if we just limit dupes to a thread. However, I propose the following: It ain't a dupe if it's more than one month old, AND it doesn't appear in the same thread. Nobody can remember things that old anyway ;-) jb4

That's why there's a SEARCH button at top of page
it's quick, it's easy, and it forces you to use the gray matter instead of just being repetitive.
I enjoy the challenge of linking songs and having to be original all the time; to me, that's part of the fun.
But since you guys have laid down a new law, let the fun begin!
