If anyone wants to co-own an entry I can offer decent Baltic and Mediterranean songs. And when we lose we can just blame eachother the mod.

See, that's where you went wrong. When you can't think of something good to submit, just put in whatever comes to mind. No one can tell the difference.

Down for this. I have a techno song lined up but yeah, the opera one has made me nope out like three times already, I'll try to find something. Anti-government shouldn't be too hard.

Giving up the Baltics one stings a little but Swedes own like 80% of Estonia as it is so why not.

PM me the songs you have and a write-up I can send to the mod. Assuming eyebooger is cool with a co-entry of course.

I need to upload the Mediterranean one to youtube and I have an emergency solution for opera. Anti-gov is the easiest category but haven't thought of it, I'll send a few suggestions. I'll send you a PM in an hour or two.

Alright I'm in. Had I actually ever heard my Mediterranean or Baltic songs before? No. But whatever, they sounded fine I guess.

Really, don't think too hard over this. I'm a pretty simple guy.

The categories require randing for a quick entry though.

Didn't manage to pull anything together unfortunately. Oh well.

Just spit something terrible out, Bloo. The fact that this one is ongoing makes it a cool concept, and you'll be able to get double and triple scores later to make up for it even if you score badly in round 1.

eeeh time to rand some stuff then

I guess this is when we find out if our entry is better than rand.

I'm still listening to these. I should have this thing revealed by this weekend (or Monday maybe).

I'd be up for more categories, if you have them ready. It will probably take some time for everyone to get their next one in.
WALRUSOPOLY: eyebooger's 15K mega-thread Quote
10-07-2014 , 12:06 PM
Okay, I'll do that soon. Should be officially up within 24 hours.

Batch #2:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Space 6: Reading Railroad

Apparently it's pronounced "red-ding". Whatever. I'll always say "reed-ing".

Give me classical piece written for a film based on a book.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Space 7: Oriental Avenue

Avenues are Oriental. People are Asian. (At least I think that's how the saying goes.)

Give me a C-pop, J-Pop, K-Pop or V-Pop song.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Space 3: Chance

You are assessed for street repairs – $40 per house, $115 per hotel

Give me a song about fixing something.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Space 9: Vermont Avenue

Hey! I live here! Vermont is a great state with great people. For a small state, there's a surprising amount of things to do around here. But I'm always looking for more.

Here is the calendar for Higher Ground music. It's a small venue, but I've seen some pretty solid acts there.

Give me a song by an artist that is on the Higher Ground calendar.

Note: Events that say "Flynn Theater" (e.g. Primus, Natalie Merchant) or some other large venue do not qualify for this category.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Space 10: Connecticut Avenue

Connecticut is the home of WWE. It's been a guilty pleasure of mine for nearly 3 decades.

This is WWE superstar Cesaro:


He is ****ing awesome.

This is his theme music.
It ****ing sucks.

Pretend that Cesaro is going to be the next "face of the company" fan-favorite character.

Give me a new entrance theme song for Cesaro.

I've got the techno one fully scored. Won't have time for reveal tomorrow, but hoping to do that and the Mediterranean Ave one on Friday.

I was pretty certain that you'd ask for an artist or a performance from Reading festival for space 6, I realize in monopoly we're dealing with the American Reading but still. So random that you did exactly that but for another category.

Couple of interesting categories that need some research but we'll make it work, looking forward to the reveal.

Got the first two categories fully ranked. Now I just need to attach songs to people and add some snarky commentary.

I'll reveal them tonight if I have time. Otherwise, I'll get started tomorrow morning.

I thought that reading was going to be a song about reading, or about not reading, but w/e.
