    AWESOMELY, WICKEDLY HILARIOUS!

  2. FilePumpkinperihelion on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:09 PM

    aarrgh. I have them, but it's not taking.

  3. FileXylophoneQurqirishDragon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:10 PM

    got all but #5. Any salt out there?

  4. Hermit_crab-206Garlichwango on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:13 PM

    No idea what 10 is! Help!

    never mind, my mom recognized the actress, and we got it from there.

  5. Img_0189Egggst on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:13 PM

    Ha!

  6. FilePumpkinBigSlick on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:14 PM

    wow, these are really bad! :-)

  7. FileTomatoat8ax on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:14 PM

    Perihelion: Try an alternate spelling for #9.

  8. AssetsSailboatkayvon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:15 PM

    (WARNING: SALT AHEAD)
    [3] The man in the picture, I believe, is Al Gore.

  9. Avatar_profileRaspberrytpals on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:15 PM

    salt on 3?

  10. FileEggMurdoctor on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:18 PM

    [2] Same here.

    [7] Thanks... that did it.

  11. AssetsSailboatkayvon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:18 PM

    [9] The original quote said "boat" instead of "courtroom."

  12. Soccer_ballCheeseburgersoccer_ref on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:18 PM

    [2][7] Yes, spell it the way they did in Narnia.

  13. Avatar_profilePotatostevegamer on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:22 PM

    Wow, some are hard if you don't know old movies. comepletley stumped on 10.

  14. AssetsSailboatkayvon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:18 PM

    [2] [10] Send me your answers and I'll verify them. I should be on for the next 15 minutes or more.

  15. FileEggGamesX4 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:33 PM

    Thanks soccer_ref on the "narnia" comment, that was my mistake

  16. FileXylophoneQurqirishDragon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:21 PM

    [8] thanks. That's all I needed.
    also, thanks to [7]. I spelled it with a W, not a U. (and that is only salt if you already know the answer!)

    [13] not an Asian Empress

  17. FilePumpkinBigSlick on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:20 PM

    Any salt on #2 and #11?

  18. FileXylophoneQurqirishDragon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:22 PM

    [17] #2: Look in Thailand.
    #11: I'm really tired.

    (note: salt is for the pre-pun answer)

  19. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:24 PM

    [17] That is Bogart and Bacall

  20. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:25 PM

    [17] in #11

  21. FilePumpkinBigSlick on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:27 PM

    [18], [19] Thanks! That did it!

  22. Avatar_profilePotatostevegamer on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:27 PM

    #11 is a Bogie flick.

    #2 You need to know the hero name of the ever-lovin' orange guy.

  23. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:32 PM

    struggling with 9 and 10. Anyone want to salt me?

  24. Avatar_profilePearSpielfreak on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:38 PM

    Any salt on #6?

  25. FileClockJewelia on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:42 PM

    Tons of fun! Thanks for several hearty laughs!

  26. FileXylophoneQurqirishDragon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:42 PM

    [23] for #10, see my [16]
    for #9, think of where my lost kite went.

    [24] The gorilla would prefer to be on the empire state building.

    again, all salt is for the pre-pun answer.

  27. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:49 PM

    [26] Thanks for that but I knew the movie just can't figure out the answer

  28. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:50 PM

    who are the people in #10?

  29. FileXylophoneQurqirishDragon on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:52 PM

    [27] Oh- for #9 the pun is on the first word, for #10 on the last.

    I don't know the people in #10, I just recognized the picture from other puzzles that used it. Sorry I can't help there.

  30. FileTomatotlmitch7 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:52 PM

    Stuck on # 2, help?

  31. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:53 PM

    [29] AHA for #9 thanks! Ummmm still nothing for #10 I have no idea what the original is for 10

  32. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:54 PM

    [30] It was a musical and in the original the male lead was royalty and she referred to herself in first petson

  33. FilePancakesScrappyChiq_n_Husband on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:55 PM

    i got 10 because I recognized the actress from on golden pond and then did some research

  34. FileBananaslbaxter on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:55 PM

    Ok, that was really fun. I enjoyed the chuckles. (and groans) ; )

  35. FilePancakesScrappyChiq_n_Husband on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:56 PM

    [32] Thanks, that was my last one

  36. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 07:59 PM

    [33] THANK YOU SO MUCH! I couldn't think of who that woman was but it was in my head somewhere!

  37. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Aug 01, 2008 08:03 PM

    She shoots she scores! Thanks everyone for the help.

  38. Avatar_profilePearSpielfreak on Fri Aug 01, 2008 08:13 PM

    [28] Coincidently, the same actor is pictured in clues #10 and #11.

  39. Avatar_profilePlumISod on Fri Aug 01, 2008 08:42 PM

    #4 or #7

    I don't know which is wrong so any salt on either?

  40. Try_4Sailboatsnork on Fri Aug 01, 2008 09:06 PM

    That was really, really fun. Thanks Ookpik! The fact that I got almost all of them without having to look anything up is probably more a testament to my acquired years rather than to any acquired knowledge, unfortunately.

  41. SethbBananaOsirus on Fri Aug 01, 2008 10:57 PM

    Pure genius. Best thing I've seen on Tanga in a while.

  42. FilePancakesepaz on Fri Aug 01, 2008 11:18 PM

    Really fun! :-)

  43. FilePancakesCWarrior on Fri Aug 01, 2008 11:28 PM

    This must have been a lot of work! The (gr)apes are awesome.

    What a puzzle should be ... this belongs in the THCHOF ... if there were such a thing.

  44. FilePancakesArnott (Tanga Admin) on Sat Aug 02, 2008 04:42 AM

    I agree with all the kudos. I couldn't Feature this fast enough. Yeah, sure, some of those old movies might be tough for some, but, man, almost every clue is FUN! And fun LOOKING, too.

  45. FileSailboatyelowflower on Sat Aug 02, 2008 05:13 AM

    I really enjoyed this one...even if I had to look up almost all of them...but...I am completely stumped on #5...I know who he is, but am not getting anything from that...any help available?

  46. FileAcescarver on Sat Aug 02, 2008 05:34 AM

    [45] this is based on a very thick book written by Leo.

  47. FilePancakestempus42 on Sat Aug 02, 2008 06:10 AM

    Very good!

  48. FileOnionzyrilia on Sat Aug 02, 2008 06:43 AM

    [39] I'm in the same boat - I know the movies, just can't seem to convert them for the puzzle.

    [46] Isn't that #4?

  49. Avatar_profileKiwiCupelix on Sat Aug 02, 2008 07:30 AM

    I'm stumped on number 4 - I have an answer that fits, but I think my onomatopoeia doesn't seem to be spelled right to fit. It's either that, or me being frustrated by multiple answers which fit for #6 (that one really needs a crossing word on the first or fourth letter!)

  50. Avatar_profileBananafratzkehw on Sat Aug 02, 2008 08:49 AM

    [49] Think of what Dolly's wardrobe is made of or what happens if you get swindled out of some money.

  51. Avatar_profileKiwiCupelix on Sat Aug 02, 2008 09:40 AM

    [50] Thank you. Totally feels like a "Duh!" moment now that I have it!

  52. FilePotatorevchewie on Sat Aug 02, 2008 09:43 AM

    Ookpik - You have a sick and demented mind... And I'm very glad to have partaken of the fruits of said demented labors! It wasn't until #9 that I *really* groaned but hey, the beauty of a pun is in the OY of the beholder...

  53. Avatar_profileGrapesmatty138 on Sat Aug 02, 2008 09:44 AM

    i need help on 5 theres not many letters to help.

  54. AvatarEggplantOokpik on Sat Aug 02, 2008 10:52 AM

    Glad that most people seem to have enjoyed this! It was really fun to make, too!

  55. AvatarEggplantOokpik on Sat Aug 02, 2008 10:56 AM

    #5 is probably the only film in there that isn't really a "classic" but it is actually the first one that popped into my head when I came up with the idea for the puzzle. Google "Al Gore movie" if you are truly stuck.

  56. FilePancakesArnott (Tanga Admin) on Sun Aug 03, 2008 04:25 AM

    Ookpik must like Bruce Willis and Humphrey Bogart - they have two movies in the puzzle.

  57. Avatar_profilePearMikeOrTara on Sun Aug 03, 2008 08:40 AM

    [7]Thanks for the hint there. I was getting really frustrated!

  58. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Sun Aug 03, 2008 06:00 PM

    #6 would be better if it were reversed...

    Fun Fun Fun Puzzle!

  59. Superpixiemegabacongunxwa2WatermelonPixielo on Sun Aug 03, 2008 08:39 PM

    Fantastic! This was quick and fun...finally a use for movie trivia...

  60. Avatar_profileStrawberryadpipeach on Mon Aug 04, 2008 05:36 AM

    any salt on #4? I know the movie's real title, but everything i try to make it fit what i think it is isnt working.

  61. Jack_0307Radishchlte on Mon Aug 04, 2008 08:10 AM

    This was very entertaining and I only had to look up a couple. Got stuck on 9 - thanks for all the clues like the first word and the "u". Somehow I missed the costumes - very key! DOH!

  62. Our_planetariumRocketfenwic on Mon Aug 04, 2008 09:29 AM

    Too many movies I just have no clue on. The ones I got were cute. I don't like having to look up every clue, but that's a fault of ME, NOT the puzzle. Quite clever...

  63. Avatar_profileGrapesmvettemagred on Mon Aug 04, 2008 10:56 AM

    Loved it! I knew all the movies but two, thanks to my mom who watched all these old movies when I was a kid. Great fun.

    [60] #4 was the toughest. [50] has the best clue (the swindled one). Also, NBC Nightly News has a recurring segment about how we're getting cheated out of money called "The _____ing of America".

  64. FileBananatheChony on Mon Aug 04, 2008 11:20 AM

    Very fun, 11 was my only problem one. But easy to look up, at least for me.

  65. Avatar_profileAcehighfloydelity on Mon Aug 04, 2008 02:04 PM

    Still not getting #4... I know what the movie is but I'm not getting the sheep/wool part.

  66. Avatar_profileApplesoulsavr8 on Mon Aug 04, 2008 03:50 PM

    Fantastic puzzle! Loved every minute of it!

  67. FileAppleFez on Mon Aug 04, 2008 04:59 PM

    I'm still stuck on 9 despite all the salt. I got the others without problem. I even get the pun in 9 but don't know the last word. ugh.

  68. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Mon Aug 04, 2008 06:37 PM

    That was a great puzzle! #11 is one of my favorites, but clue #8 make me laugh out loud.

    [12] Thanks! I never knew there was an alternate spelling.

    [65] Think "Mary had a little lamb."

  69. Avatar_profileStrawberryadpipeach on Tue Aug 05, 2008 03:53 AM

    Ok I have them all now, but why isn't it accepting them?

  70. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Tue Aug 05, 2008 08:42 AM

    [69] I found I had reversed #6 ... (after carefully re-entering all of them three times)

  71. TobuzooPepperdavidrager on Tue Oct 26, 2010 07:39 PM

    For those coming to this puzzle from the sequel, the clues have been renumbered since this puzzle was originally posted. Here is a mapping from the old numbers to the new numbers so you can make sense of the above comments. e.g. [7] now applies to clue #6

    2 -> 1
    3 -> 12
    4 -> 8
    5 ->4
    6 -> 9
    9 -> 6
    10 -> 5
    11 -> 3

  72. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Tue Oct 26, 2010 08:02 PM

    Yes the spelling anomaly they are speaking of is now in clue #6

  73. Christopher_david_ryan_-_eyeGarlickc6201 on Tue Oct 26, 2010 08:51 PM

    Don't think I've ever heard of 5 before. Wasn't really familiar with 3 either.

  74. Avatar_profileBananabhodges on Wed Oct 27, 2010 06:46 AM

    Crap... I came here from the second one that I loved so much, only to find that I had already done this. *pout*

  75. FileOnionPatanga on Fri Sep 30, 2011 02:44 PM

    Frustrating.....sure I have them all but it won't take....maybe an alternative spelling? I so wish that the answers were obtainable on these old hypers.
    NM....the ape needed to be switched around.
