Clever title! thanks Is this a rulebreaker? Such sweet music! Is your name Noel? Who are they calling, exactly? Is that a clever title? Ooh, shiny. Can you think of something to say? Hello. Or should I say, bonjour? Can we break this rule? You and your feathered friends? Might we break this rule? Perhaps they mean singing. Voices sometimes break when singing. | ||

Blackbirds in a pear tree? I'm not sure where they are. They're just calling Is this related to the four calling birds particularly? Ah! Loud! Did it have to be so many of them? And I'm guessing that you actually meant for those to be answered for real, not according to the rule. Blackbirds in a pear tree? No. Is this related to the four calling birds particularly? Yes. And since you wouldn't have any way of knowing this, I'll tell you that according to wikipedia, "calling" is an American twisting of the original lyric, "colly," which refers to blackbirds. | ||

Americans have just as much access to Wikipedia as the rest of the world, which is a good thing, isn't it? Actually, I did know that "calling" was a twist of something else which referred to blackbirds, which is why I asked that...and I didn't even get it from Wikipedia. My father told me. But I couldn't remember how to spell "colly", I kept thinking "collie" like the dog. | ||

One? Two? Three? Twelve? To the above four lines: And a partridge in a pear tree. Two turtle doves. Three French hens. Twelve drummers drumming. If the rule has a number from 1-12, answer it with the appropriate Twelve Days of Christmas gift? Yes. The first part of the rule is "If the question/statement includes a number 1-12 or _____, Answer with the appropriate line from the Twelve Days of Christmas." (You don't need to figure out the blank, but just be aware that there is another condition that could result in a line from the song, and you might stumble upon it.)

Number of letters in last word = number of the day referenced in the answer? Not sure what happens if the word is 13 or more though - does it loop back around to 1? | ||

Number of letters in last word = number of the day referenced in the answer? yes Not sure what happens if the word is 13 or more though - does it loop back around to 1? well, you could have asked a question to find out... but it's Christmas, after all. *SPOILER* If there is a number (1-12 or First-Twelfth) in the question, quote the appropriate line from the 12 Days of Christmas. If not, count the number of letters in the last word in the question, and answer with something that references the corresponding line from the 12 Days of Christmas in some way. If the last word had had more than 12 letters, it would have been a CA. Merry Christmas to all. How appropriate that it finished today! | ||
