    I'm ignoring this thread exists.
    It's the only way to win.

    I love this game because of my job I can't leave the OR for hours at a time and music is constantly playing so it ratchets up the tension.

    Also, was this thread responsible for all the sexy Kirby feet pictures years ago?

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    Getting eliminated by the Pentatonix version counts as a DOUBLE elimination

    Can confirm, got double eliminated last year

    I'm in

    Let's see whether working from home for 4 days a week and not going home for Christmas this year is enough to save me

    I'm in.

    Hopefully I can be eliminated more honorably this year and forget the shame of my self-elimination last year.

    Can I try if I'm not even sure what song it is?

    Little Drummer Boy is a song about a boy who had no gift to give Jesus on Christmas, except the music of his drum. The “pa-rum-pa-pum-pum” part is onomatopoeia for the drum.

    Oh no, I mean I'm sure I've heard it... but even that doesn't bring anything to mind.

    I need to update the op still

  • expendableexpendable Silly Goose Registered User regular
    When you do that, know that I am in as well.

    I have won every year I have participated, surely my hubris shall not be my downfall this time.

    I'm pretty sure that's how hubris works.

    Had to have the LDB talk with the new girlfriend.

    I think talking about finances and boundaries and childhood traumas were the easier conversations, frankly...

    I am absolutely in, and I will beat my record from last year. Which was getting out at 7 PM on Black Friday because Dad put the Christmas music tv station on.

    Just to be clear we have not started and will not until the 26th of November right?

    Otherwise I just took myself out absentmindedly.

    Anyways, now that I actually know what song it is I'm in. As long as I don't get taken out at the grocery store this should be pretty easy.

    You’re still safe.

    That’s how I eliminated myself last year. Just started whistling it

    Well, I saw my demise flash before my eyes.

    There's a singer songwriter called Paul Kelly who is an institution here in Australia, guy has a billion records out. He's responsible for one for one of my favourite songs of all time, How To Make Gravy, a bittersweet POV of a guy in prison contacting a loved one, it played a big part in helping younger me sympathise with people in the system and is also a beautiful song about family and Christmas in Australia.

    And that jerk released a Christmas album and no points for guessing what track 6 is. So it's not a matter of if but when, all I can do is appreciate the time I have once the competition starts.

    Well I just made plans with the family to fly down for Christmas week. We're taking my nephews to some big Christmas event on the 23rd that'll have a bunch of activities for them.

    It's an interesting feeling knowing that you're a dead man walking and knowing which day is the one you'll die.

    I'm pretty sure this is the one that's done me in twice in the past two years.

  • SirToastySirToasty Registered User regular
    I just realized that one of my students is probably gonna bring this song in to work on for a concert. That's how I lose. Some fuckin 12 year old playing it on a clarinet.
