MM Links January 2009 [Week 4]
94 Answers
We are now approaching Week 4 in the reign of Queen Meg and, with the extra weekend this month, there are still several entrants who could win the glory. Recall that this game has been on-going for over two years now and in that time we have had over 25 different champion/setters. Consequently, when choosing the next MM Champion, I am looking for a reasonable compromise between "predictive skills" and "fresh blood".
Once selected, for the first week there is always a flurry of behind-the-scenes activity to ensure that the in-coming champion has as much (or as little) support that they need to make their term in office as enjoyable as possible. In this respect, Queen Meg has been a delight to work with and has taken to the task like a duck to water!
As usual, the words to be linked will be posted on AB at 9.00 (sharp) and many bonus points are picked off during the first five minutes of play! You need also to look out for the sister game (called KM Links) that kicks off around 07.00am depending on whoever is first to solve the Herculis Crossword in The Daily Telegraph! That can be a bit of a variable feast, but it attracts many entries and scores can be much higher. That truly international version of the Links Game is watched over by "the Hostess with the Mostest" in the form of seekeerz (from the Land of Oz). She takes responsibility for keeping law and order, and seeing that fair play prevails. She will process each prediction and maintain the League Table for the KM Links.
Me? I'm crofter keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins and I process the predictions and maintain the League Tables for the parallel game.

TAE A FART
Oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie
Jist as ye sit doon among yer kin
There sterts tae stir an enormous win'
The neeps 'n' tatties 'n' mushy peas
Stert workin' like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin' wi' the sauncie face
Will hae ye blawin' a' ower the place
Nae maiter whit the hell ye dae A'bodys gonnae hiv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle It's like a bullet oot a rifle
Hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair
Tae try an' stop the leakin' air
Shify yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it disnae reek
But aw yer efforts go assunder
Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder
Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom
Gad almichty it fairly reeks
Hope a huvnae messed ma breeks
Tae the bog a better scurry
Aw whit the hell, it's no ma worry
A'body roon aboot me chokin
Wan or twa are nearly bokin
A'll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile
Wis him! A shout wi' accusin glower
Alas too late, he's jist keeled ower
Ye dirty devil they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome ony mair
Where e'er ye be let yer wind gang free
Sounds like jist the job fur me
Whit a fuss at Rabbie's party
Ower the sake o' wan wee farty
