Fab 40's Matchmaker game.

[MN John]

OK, here's your chance... Choose two Fab 40's posters and match them up as a couple. Give your reasons why they're perfect for each other. Argue with other people's opinions of who should be matched with who and why. But watch out ... because you could be the next victim of the matchmakers!

There's not enough men in here to do that. And what about us marrieds? We can't do this can we?

 

[MMXII]

Good question.


I'm not sure who is married and who is single.

Single here!!

 

[Tricia4Jesus]

Yeah we KNOW you are SINGLE.

 

[MMXII]

Bwahahahaaaa....

 

[Tattered]

Very married ... I've been trying to coax my hubby to join us, but he ain't takin the bait ... even when I tell him about all the cute single ladies ... uh ... that just sounds all wrong :o

 

[MN John]

Marrieds can do the matchmaking... or you can treat it as a "only the people on CF survived the meteor strike, nobody can determine why, but they are the only people remaining on Earth." Your choice! I did a similar thing in the singles forum, but a lot of the fun singles in the fab 40's don't go there.

 

[tryme]

Yeah we KNOW you are SINGLE.

Bwahahahaaaa....

Is she really single?
I hadn't picked up on that.

 

[GritsnGrace]

Good question.


I'm not sure who is married and who is single.

Single here!!

Me too!

 

[MMXII]

Is she really single?
I hadn't picked up on that.

Am I that transparent

 

[Theofilus]

I'm single. Who's gonna start the match making?

 

[CoolMom6]

Yeah, let's play!!

 

[MN John]

OK, since everybody wants to play but is shy to go first, here's another opportunity to participate ...

Jan (MMXII) and I (JAKG) would like to invite you all to tell us your crushes. Gals, send your crushes to Jan, Guys, send your crushes to me. Then Jan and I will coordinate our matches and notify each of you. You will only be notified (via PM) if you and your crush match. So say if someone has a crush on Theo and Theo has a crush on the same person. Both people will be notified of the crush. Sound like fun? Of course, we think this should be limited to the singles among us! (We shouldn't be stumbling blocks to each other.)

So speculate here in the thread about others, or send your private crushes by PM. Have fun!

 

[MMXII]

Woot!! we got it going now.

 

[MN John]

OK folks... this is exciting! Jan has already received a list from at least one lady and I have a list from at least one guy. From what we have already we have found one mutual crush. The two have been notified, congratulations to them!

So go ahead and send your crushes, you may already have a match waiting to find out if you have a crush on them!

Heh-heh

I even got the song:

Lyrics and Chords


[Fiddler on the Roof]

Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match
Find me a find, catch me a catch
Matchmaker, matchmaker look through your book
And make me a perfect match

/ G - G6 - / Gmaj7 - - - / G - G7 - / C D7 G - /

Matchmaker, matchmaker I'll bring the veil
You bring the groom slender and pale
Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be
The envy of all I see

For poppa make him a scholar
For momma make him rich as a king
For me, well I wouldn't holler
If he were as handsome as anything

/ Cm7 - F - / Bbmaj7 - Bb6 - / Am - D7 - / Gm G7 CmDm D7 /

Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match
Find me a find, catch me a catch
Night after night in the dark I'm alone
So make me a match of my own

Hodel, oh Hodel, have I made a match for you
He's handsome, he's young - all right, he's 62
But he's a nice man, a good catch, true? True
I promise you'll be happy, and even if you're not
There's more to life than that - don't ask me what

/ Gm - C D / / Eb - Bb - / 1st / Gm - C Gm /

Chava I've found him, will you be a lucky bride
He's handsome, he's tall - that is from side to side
But he's a nice man, a good catch, right? Right
You've heard he's got a temper, he'll beat you every night
But only when he's sober - so you're alright

/ Am - D E / / F - C - / 1st / Am - D Am /

Did you think you'd get a prince?
Well I do the best I can
With no dowry, no money, no family background
Be glad you've got a match

/ G C / C7 F / Bb - - - / - - F - /

Matchmaker, matchmaker you know that I'm
Still very young, please take your time
Up to this minute I misunderstood
That I could get stuck for good

Dear Yenta see that he's gentle
Remember you were also a bride
It's not that I'm sentimental
It's just that I'm terrified

Matchmaker, matchmaker plan me no plans
I'm in no rush, maybe I've learned
Playing with matches a girl can get burned
So bring me no ring, groom me no groom
Find me no find, catch me no catch
Unless he's a matchless match

/ G - G6 - / Gmaj7 - - - / G - G7 - /
/ C - Cm - / G - A7 - / D7 - - G - - /

Yeah ... stumbling blocks ... my hubby's a pretty big block to stumble over ... oops, now he's going to show up for sure

 

[country woman]

Hey what about me I am single too. So Can I play too.What do I have to do?

 

[MN John]

Hey what about me I am single too. So Can I play too.What do I have to do?

Two ways to play... the public way where you just match people up and say why you think they make a good couple, or the private way where you send names of anyone you have a crush on to MMXII and if any of a guy that you have a crush on also sends me your name saying he has a crush on you, then we notify you both.
