You’re just trying to tempt me into writing something else.

Well, it looks like it worked. Now it’s up to you to tell me what happened as a result of your altering the course of history. Did my writing something else cause your Christmas to be better, the same, or worse?

We’ll never know as time only knows the path taken after you wrote, we will never know what the future held if you hadn’t written those posts. What you need to do to get the proper answer is devise a time machine to go back and not write a reply – only then can we truly and fully know.

For those who haven’t seen it, Paul appearing with Bruce Springsteen on Saturday Night Live. This seemed the right thread.

I wish Paul did more in this video than like what Ringo did in “Love Me Do .”

Can someone please explain why Ringo says, “O-U-T spells out” in “Christmastime (Is Here Again)”?

It’s a kid’s elimination game. Pointing at each in turn. We did it in a hundred games but can’t remember an example.

The chorus from Paul’s song ‘Queenie Eye ‘:

Queenie eye queenie eye who’s got the ball
I haven’t got it, it isn’t in my pocket
O-U-T spells out
That’s out
Without a shadow of a doubt
She could put it in about
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout

I just assumed it was from a kid’s game and @Wigwam has confirmed it.

This memory just hit me! As a child we used to decide who was “it” to start a game such as hide-n-seek or tag with “one potato, two potato, three potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more. O-U-T spells out.” We would all be in a circle with our hands clasped in front of us. The person saying the words would tap each clasped set of hands with each word. When the word “out” was said, that person left the circle. Now I know where the o-u-t part came from. I wonder where we got the potato part.

I always thought John, Paul and George let Ringo write part of the song and that’s the best he could come up with. ahdn_ringo_09
