Yes, Gentle Readers, it is time once again for Online Encore<\/strong>, the game where Bragging Units are awarded for the ability to come up with lyrics containing words chosen by YHB. This time… there’s a twist!\n

If you played the first time<\/a> or the second time<\/a> this Tohu Bohu went in for Onlin Encore, you know how it goes. Or if you were there when Jed invented it<\/a>, of course. In that note, my Gracious Host suggested a theme version, with a set of words that are all place names, or all people names, or all math\/science terms, or all verbs. Or a set of songs that are all Christmas songs, or all musicals, or all songs by the same person or people. And so on<\/i>. YHB decided to do a theme this time, so I have changed the scoring.\n

Scoring<\/strong>: GRs get two Bragging Units for every song that contains a word from my list, up to three songs<\/i> for a total of six BUs per song, or 75 total available BUs. In addition, I will award 25 BUs to the GR who first guesses the theme<\/strong>. That’s one hundred Bragging Units, ladies and gentlemen, and that’s a lot of bragging.\n

MFQ<\/strong>: I will not<\/i> post whether the song GRs have come up with is the song I had in mind for my theme. That would make it too easy. If y’all seem to be stuck, I will cough up that information as a hint, if you like. YHB encourages discussion of thematic possibilities, but I think I would like Official Guesses to be emailed to YHB rather than posted publicly, so no very clever person will ruin the fun for everyone else. Please post that you are sending an Official Guess, though—I don’t check the vardibidian at Jed’s domain (dot org) email account all that frequently, and see comments here through another interface. Should we restrict it to one Official Guess per GR per Day? Or, alternately, would y’all prefer to work together on the Theme and share the BUs, andso such a restriction would be detrimental? For now, let’s stick with one a day.\n

Oh, and no reference materials, please.\n
