    It doesn't matter, it's what you make it. ;-) And no, I did not bring it from anywhere else. It's evolved here over the last couple of months where I each day will ask at least five questions on the main board to create more diversity than just the regular T-posts. That's all. But hey, if all questions were like mine it would also become a dull place. We need diversity to attract people using the site, and take part inside the posts, and even better create and contribute with posts themselves. Andy used to do so. Some of them would pi** people off when they were targeted by his little gimmick. :-)

  •    I understand the Diversity Group and it's goals, the reasons it was created and although I'm not a member, I have helped to make this a better site in other ways.
       As far as Andy is concerned, he is a friend and I wouldn't, deliberately, mislead him. I told him I thought it came from somewhere else because I thought I remembered you saying that you were resurrecting some stuff, from another site, that you weren't able to put graphic aid to there and were going to try it here. I assumed is was related to this series of posts. Maybe it was some other member ... I'm sorry.
       I am also aware of Andy's creative postings ... and everyone else's, because I've read them all ... back to "Day One."

       I'm interested in your creation and I'm not trying to bad-mouth it. It seems to be catching-on. I have wondered why you chose the "Humor & Jokes" category, especially since you tell me that it's a "Game" ... which is also a category, but admittedly I'm still not sure of what all is involved, so I bow to your wisdom.  We are on the same team. :)

    I picked the humor and joke category for my silly questions first. My questions have evolved over time. I have kept the category as my friends who likes to follow my questions, this way will have an easier time to find them. Btw, they can be answered with humor, and I do not see them as a game. Others might, and I'm okay with that. I was in no way offended by your remarks to Andy, just trying to give you some background. It is correct that I the other day posted some old EP questions that you just made references to, but those were different kind of questions. :-)

  • Sorry ... it was Xxxxx (another member) that told me it was a "word association game."

    He is right to the point that it's about associations. :-)

    I remember "Mellow Yellow" when I was about 5. I've always liked it since then. Another hit Donovan had with even sillier lyrics was "There Is A Mountain", with its chorus "First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is". One friend said it should have been called "Is There A Friggin' Mountain?". Lol:)

    Here's another song with "yellow" in it from the late 1960s, SH. I had to like this one because I like anything with "rainbow" in it.


    Enjoy!:)

    Brilliant song, SH, but the video has the wrong year. "She's A Rainbow" was definitely 1967, and late 1967 at that. I never understood why they put the wrong year on videos, it makes it look as if they didn't check first. Still, it's a wonderful song anyway whatever year it came out. :)

    It is, and it was the best version I could find. I hope we can live with the mistake about the year. :-)

    I'm sure we can now that I've mentioned it. Lol:)

    I have a lot of Rolling Stones CDs including "Their Satanic Majesties' Request". That's the album with "She's A Rainbow" on it and it's my favourite track on that album. :)

    Now for another of my favourite songs with "Rainbow" in it. I remember this one when I was 6 years old and I'll still like it if I'm still alive at 106.
