I didn't catch the last bump of this. So now that I've seen this bump, I know I'm gonna hear this soon. Maybe even tonight.

I hate this thread.

This is where my 20 or so year strategy of not going places and not watching TV with commercials finally pays off.

She's in concert here next week and every radio station is running promotions to give away tickets. They played the song on sports radio while I was cleaning the leaves today. There's no escaping her.

You mean you haven't heard it yet?
Shall I hum a few bars?

It was on jeopardy tonight so I've already heard it and it's not even Thanksgiving

Listen, and understand! That the Mariahinator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are ded!

I am betting past ded...some arse will likely play it at my funeral.



And why does funeral start with "fun"?

Here in South Mississippi we have a local radio station that has been playing Christmas songs since November 1st.....WTH?!!

 

[HoustonSaint68]

But we don't officially start until December 1, correct?

Not that I think I have any chance of "winning".

MariahGeddon* 2023!

• The objective of the game is to go as long as possible without hearing Mariah's Christmas classic, "All I Want for Christmas is You".
• The game starts on December 1st at 6 AM and runs through midnight on December 24th.
• Only the original version applies. You may enjoy remixes and covers.
• We are using the honor system: you're out as soon as you hear and recognize the song. Post here to indicate when you're out.

@SamAndreas (provisional)

...will get a one-week bye for the 2023 contest. Everyone else will start on the 1st of December at 6 AM, this group will start at 6 pm on December 8th. Congrats! (Any repeat winners from this group will be excluded in 2024. As contest director, I am excluding myself from the contest. There were no repeat winners from 2022.)

@SamAndreas is being allowed a provisional entry to this year's contest. We don't want to exclude anyone because they live in the boonies, but we also are aware that self-enforced remoteness deserves attention from the rules committee (made up of the previous year's winners and the CD).

Everyone who decides to take the plunge must declare entry between December 1st and December 4th by posting that declaration in this thread.

Upping The Ante 2023
It has been suggested that we add some difficulty to the game or make a different game of....

Wham!A!Geddon

Same rules as MariahGeddon, but the song is Last Christmas by Wham! Not sure if we should double-up or parallel with players having to declare for each game. What say you?

* Yes, I know the image misspells the name of the antagonist. Grammar nazis need not apply.

But we don't officially start until December 1, correct?

correct....

Because that’s what people have as they’re rummaging through your stuff.

“Look, I got Paul’s Rolex! Wait, wait, that says Polex. Should have known - Paul’s cheap arse!!!”
