Not sure why this is such an issue for you...just a game, right? TBH, in the above list you would have to know the reference of the last name in the previous post to get the ballet connection. Others, if you will note, I have extended beyond a simple listing of names. And, if you will further note, all of my names are real people. And, to be perfectly frank, I am not the only one who, on occasion, compiles a list of some sort. Perhaps, creativity is in the eye of the beholder? BTW...I have been posting on this thread since the beginning. This isn't my first rodeo. You're still missing my point, Tim.  It IS just a game.  It's not an "issue" for me, I'm just trying to help you understand how to play, so you (and those who read your posts) can have more fun with it.  You say "I have been doing that".  I'm not sure what "that" refers to.  As I said, you're listing three of something (ballet dancers, talk show hosts, trumpeters, children's authors, etc etc etc).  Nothing really "wrong" with doing that on occasion, but you're doing it every time (and you did that in your first rodeo at Jazz Corner too, I just never tried to point out that you weren't playing the game as steve(thelil) designed it).  There's no creativity involved in naming three ballet dancers.  If I had folllowed your post with three more random names of ballet dancers, would you (or anyone) have smiled, or said "Ah, interesting", or felt any joy at all?  I mean, we can follow the old Kevin Meaney schtick and take turns naming all the vegetables, or sing the alphabet, but that's kind of not what this is about.  Maybe you're just not seeing the creativity that others are engaging in?  I'm really just trying to help.  Sincerely.  Edited February 23, 2016 by Jim R Quote

Tim, in this case I did list three guitar players (please note that I do not always simply list three people who share the same vocation or the same first name, as you have done consistently in your last several posts).  However, I went beyond just listing three guitar players, and this is the key.  My goal was actually to have the third guy playing a four-necked guitar (combining Dickerson's two and Maphis' two), but when I came across the Nielsen photo with five necks, I was satisfied with that.  I'm not claiming that post as any kind of masterpiece, but I tried to be creative.  I used some imagination.  Instead of choosing to list three astronauts.    This is the point I'm trying to make.  Use your imagination.  Improvise.  Have fun with it.  And again, if you (or anyone) desire any explanations about what people are posting here, it's always been okay to go ahead and ask.
