Hmmm, my erudite post was eaten by the ether.
Anyway, I reckon Septimus is a good chance. If he is truly named after a Lord of Stronghold, then the chances of him killing the rest of the field during the race is pretty high.
And yes, this is a gratuitous Neil Gaiman reference.

Thanks chicklegirl and TGG for keeping me honest. Somebody on a betting website misled me, but has since updated their webpage, so I can't prove it. I thought it was odd that two horses were named "ruler" but assumed it was something inherently Australian. With that said:
I'd like to switch my Red Ruler for Red Lord.
Please.

ROUND SEVENTEEN : MAPS
You must search the internet for a map that has the maximum number of different features but not more than one of each.
You must then post
1. Name of the map
2. Link to the map
3. List all the features
(I will knock out any feature that I can find a second example of in the map that is linked)
Good Luck - I think this is a challenge.

I choose this map of Heaven
It's unique features include:
- A replica of the Washington Monument.
- A segregated section for Catholics.
- A roller coaster.
- A factory for giving the saved new bodies.
- A dinosaur petting zoo.
- A castle for...ahem...having marital relations.
- A place to view the damned.
- A candy shop.
- A boot camp for angels.
- A running track (in the boot camp).
- A snack bar.
- A large gate to keep out the unsaved.
- A drive-in movie theater for viewing memories.
- Go carts!
Now, all the rest of you need to find maps with fifteen or more unique features (assuming QM approves all these), and I can humbly bid adieu to this year's quiz happily in the top ten.

One of the most breathtaking attractions in my lovely home state of Washington is the Olympic Peninsula, home of the Olympic National Park. My family used to go camping there during the summer (when it was only slightly less rainy in the rainforest!)
On such a large map, it was hard to avoid a multiplicity of towns, trails, campgrounds, creeks, waterfalls, lakes, harbors, hot springs, beaches, bays, points, capes, islands, prairies, mountains, glaciers, ridges, roads, rivers, ranger stations, Indian reservations, visitor centers, memorials, and so forth. This map does, however, illustrate a few unique features (besides the national park itself):
One state park (Lake Cushman State Park)
One dock for international ferry service between Port Angeles, WA and Victoria B.C.
One rainforest (the Hoh Rainforest), which happens to be part of...
One national forest (the Olympic National Forest), which happens to be home to...
The world's largest western hemlock tree
The world's largest sub-alpine fir tree
The world's largest yellow cedar tree
The world's largest Douglas fir tree
And oh yes, one tiny town called Forks, recently shoved into the spotlight when it became the setting for the teen vampire novel Twilight (soon to be released as a motion picture)

i pick English counties map It has english counties marked on it.(Bedfordshire, Berkshire,Buckinghamshire,Cambridgeshire,Cheshire,Cornwall,Derbyshire,Devon,Dorset,Durham,Essex,Gloucestershire,Hampshire,Her efordshire,
Hertfordshire,Kent,Lancashire,Leicestershire,Lincolnshire,London,Middlesex,Norfolk,Northamptonshire,Northumberland,Nottingham shire,Oxfordshire,Shropshire,Somerset,Staffordshire,Suffolk,Surrey,Sussex (east and west),Warwickshire,Wiltshire,Worcestershire,Yorkshire(north, south, east?, west) and the Isle of Wight.)
As we were just told to post not debate if we agreed, coz i'm not sure London is really a county. Also east yorkshire is labeled, not sure is usually called that.
Rutland and huntingdonshire and a bit i can't work out just below east yorkshire are all on the map but not labeled.
Also labeled is Scotland and Wales. Not labeled is the sea, and the Isle of man.
Now to add up all those features.
43 labeled things and 5 unlabeled.

By my reading, several of the entries so far will be eliminated on these grounds. Multiple states, counties or countries seem to me to be more than one example of the same feature. If you stretched a point, you could probably argue that a feature implies something fundamentally geographical in nature, like a mountain or river, rather than administrative boundaries, but that would probably be quite hard when you've just claimed them as features.
My also-ran entry is the band Map, which consists of 3 different features, as listed here:
1. Lead singer/guitarist
2. Keyboards
3. Drums

I was considering the Reigning king of funny lyrics (Weird Al) but thought better of it. I decided that I would post a song about a church service that everyone* of us would enjoy being at. I give you Ray Stevens' The Mississippi Squirrel Revival. Here is a video that plays the song. If this does not make every top ten you are all sinners and need a squirrel.

Like G.G., I'm posting a song made famous by Groucho Marx, the classic “Lydia the Tattooed Lady,” which became his signature tune. Music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg.
I tried creating URL links and just couldn’t get it to work right, so here are the sites.
Lyrics can be found at http://www.reelclassics.com/Movie/Philstory/philstory-lydia.htm but you'll have to type it in.
If you go to YouTube and enter 'Lydia the Tattooed Lady' you can find a couple of versions done my Groucho as well as the Muppets.

Well, Rugasaw has posted our family's absolute favorite song over the years. Never seen it performed, though, so thanks!
I will go with what I have been trying to get our choir to do for the annual talent night: All God's Critter's Got a Place in the Choir, by Bill Staines. Here is a You Tube performance that is great, but not what I have in mind. You have to imagine our fun-filled choir in hayseed outfits and straw hats tapping our legs in time, slapping our knees occasionally, and swooooping some of the notes sometimes. Throw in an occasional animal sound and some dynamics, the exactly right people coming in on snippet solos in perfect timing. It's a fun song with the right vision, and the perfect choir director, of course.

This round is the toughest challenge so far for me because I love novelty songs. If you search for "The Best Medicine" at Pandora.com, you will be able to hear an endless stream of novelty songs from all eras. I just turned it on, I list the tracks as I write this up:
(Tom Lehrer: "We'll All Go Together When We Go"
The Ink Spots: "Your Foots Too Big"
Bowling For Soup: "Almost")
Thus, my task is to narrow things down. I'd like something a bit more recent since we've had several older, though exemplary, entries so far.
(The Presidents Of The United States: "Lump)
Wierd Al Yankovic is an obvious choice (I once got mistaken for him after having just stood in line behind him at a club. Wierd, er, strange night.) I'd like, however, to promiote someone more obscure.
(Carla Ulbrich: "What If Your Girlfriend Was Gone?". I was considering this song last night and it's right up there on my list.)
Stephen Lynch is probably too transgressive for this crowd though he's a surprisingly good musician. The Asylum Street Singers are also too crude for here as well; though, they're well worth checking out.
(The Tokens: "Bathroom Wall"
Spirit: "Fish Fry Road")
The Rutles, Roy "Chubby" Brown, El Vez (Mexican Elvis impersonator), Vile Richard, Austin Lounge Lizards, The Bonzo Dog Band, The Red Elvises (astoundingly good musicians), Mojo Nixon, Moxy Fruvous, Spinal Tap, Spike Jones, Richard Cheese (lounge-lizard covers of punk, rap and pop songs with lots of profanity), Tenacious D...
So many to choose from!
(Team America Soundtrack: "Freedom Isn't Free". Parker and Stone of South Park fame are well worth considering for this round.
Momus: "The Penis Song"
Tenacious D: "Friendship")
My second choice would be Cheryl Wheelers delightful song done to the Mexican Hat Dance: Potato. (Warning: clicking on that link may cause you to be singing the word "Potato" over and over again for the rest of the day.) But while the lyrics are okay and the song is hilarious, the song will not present well purely based on its lyrics.
(Of Montreal: "Tim, I Wish You Were Born A Girl"
Wilco: "Heavy Metal Drummer"
Da Vinci's Notebook: "Three Little Words". If you ever thought Meatloaf needed skewering, this is the song for you.
Vile Richard: "Glass Eye"
Tagyerit: "Pointless Psychic Revelation")
And so, at long last, I will present my choice. After much deliberation, I choose There's Viagra In The Water written by Camille West of Four Bitchin' Babes. It's surprisingly clean for the topic.
(Jacob Brochard: "Brains Brains"
The Four Counts: "Peeping Through Your Curtains"
David Shingley: "Don'ts"
Team America Soundtrack: "Montage"
Neil Innes: "Bruce's Philosophy Song"
Uncle Bonsai: "Johnny, It's Downhill From Here"
Jimmy Buffet: "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw" - a good place to stop)

Interesting choice Doublethink.
I too have gone back to my youth with Flanders & Swann - They just don't write songs like that anymore.
Like Mertseger I was caught trying to choose one song from many, and here it is:
1. The Gasman Cometh
2. Flanders & Swann
3. The Lyrics
Check out a nice video of the song HERE
And the number two song because it has limited appeal is
The English are Best.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Well I have had to think about this one...
While looking around the net I did find the old 'Unle Sam' ad Uncle Sam Deodorant ad, from the 70's. Always a favourite of mine.
However my entry is a song by a danish band shubidua " There is a dog sh!t in my garden" I have always admired them for rhyming garden with Elizabeth Arden. There is a
link here, to youtube, which has the lyrics scrolling across the bottom of the video. It has a pretty good reggae beat, but I believe it was also a big disco hit back in the 80's.
Enjoy

This is my favorite song for stress relief. Really.
And blame the stores around here for making me remember it at this time..
Christmas at Ground Zero

The Shell Factory Billboard Blues by Gary Link always was a favorite of my family way back when.
There doesn't seem to be a link to the lyrics, but that's OK, since I'm an Also-Ran!!! ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
[ETA...Click on Gary's face to hear the song!]
