Not mine. Everyone else's

And not flea's because flea doesn't care (so I never give flea any points anyway)
(And award them to myself 🤣🤣🤣)

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Sorry. Others got i can't go for that. Of course it was hall and oats
Sounds like a breakfast cereal.. it's Oates!
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:10

Can we strike a deal?

I'm listening, needtoknow

I’d already got Hall and Oates and we’d analysed what it was about. Keep up babes![/quote]

'That's the name he used to give me
He's my man 'til the day I die.'

Relates somehow to one of the other artists I put up. Just by coincidence, not a theme.

'What's all this googling?!!'

While the cats away, the mice will play!

A watchful eye is always kept!

I think ShelfElf has been on the leftover eggnog.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:13

Oates, smotes needtoknow

I must confess, this year's dry January is more than a little soggy!

The eggnog can't think
AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 13/01/2021 22:19

Can't believe I have been robbed of my Tracy Ulman points - puts the answer that Honey wanted and didn't get the points

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:28

Pantry, if you ignore the trend that vile bullying honey insists on setting (she always subverts my carefully thought-out user names, and the others are too scared of her to do anything else but comply) and if you refer to me as Trophy.
Or better still, TrophyWinner, there will be points available beyond your wildest dreams

Honeyroar · 13/01/2021 22:30

Sorry Pantry, it got buried under Needtoknow’s Micheal Jackson guesses and the shelf’s eggnog breath.

Honeyroar · 13/01/2021 22:32

Ps Don’t believe the Shelfmonster, the points she dishes out evaporate overnight.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:34

@Honeyroar

Ps Don’t believe the Shelfmonster, the points she dishes out evaporate overnight.
And the points the roaring honey monster dishes out don't get added to the spreadsheet
Honeyroar · 13/01/2021 22:35

I think I will win the “who gets the most abuse from the Shelfdweller” trophy this time. Good job I’ve got a thick skin (and head, and waist, and legs etc)

NeedToKnow101 · 13/01/2021 22:39

And I win the 'fool who thought poix meant points' award. Which is some peas.

NeedToKnow101 · 13/01/2021 22:39

Even though poix doesn't mean peas.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:40

There will be NO such category at awards night.

And we love all of you roaring honey monster, no matter how vile a human you are 💋

NeedToKnow101 · 13/01/2021 22:41

Btw I've still got three songs outstanding:

One's punky
One's funky
And the other one is also an opera

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:42

You win nothing needtoknow. We're all too jealous of your position on the coolness ladder

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:43

I've missed a punky one??? I must be drunk

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/01/2021 22:43

At least I found some knickers at last. I must go to bed.. hard to sleep on top of the ladder.

Ooh you're so commanding..

Wanna join in a chorus, of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo, photo, photograph of you
