  6. Phi3CornPhilana on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:07 PM

    Fun one!

  7. FilePancakesCWarrior on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:11 PM

    Could be hard to figure out word order on a few of them, which makes trial/error checking a little frustrating ... but with ten clues, it was managable.

  8. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:12 PM

    can someone please re-post 1 and 4. I can't view them and those are the only ones I don't have.

  9. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:13 PM

    I just know that six will be a forehead slappin good time. Someone want to send me in that direction?

  10. Avatar_profileRocketUbiDubi on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:15 PM

    Got all but 2 and 4.

  11. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:16 PM

    ignore my request, the forehead smackin' has commenced.

  12. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:17 PM

    [10] #2 carries a tommy gun and carries whoopy cushions

  13. AvatarCarrotrobrizob on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:18 PM

    Fixed the images, but now they're reordered. Sorry.

  14. ImagesGarlicracheal0101 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:19 PM

    [10] #4 is a religious icon who likes cheese

  15. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:22 PM

    [7] Had trouble with word order myself. Luckily, there were usually enough intersections to clue it. When in doubt, English usually is adjective/modifier before noun.

  16. Avatar_profileRocketUbiDubi on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:27 PM

    [12] [15] Thanks, but still doesn't click. Frustrating.

    Edit: Well, #4 finally clicked.

  17. Ptdkr003cb_700_knocker_93946_255x300Tomatonocca on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:29 PM

    Having trouble with #3 and #10

  18. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:33 PM

    Finally got them all.

  19. Pretzel3_profileTomatoDavmar on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:34 PM

    any help with # 3 would be appreciated

  20. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:34 PM

    [18]

    #3 is in the mob, but not a mobster.
    #10 isn't a cucumber, but it was.

  21. Avatar_profileEggknights23 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:34 PM

    have answers that fir but not taking. hard to figure which words might be reversed

  22. SierraDuckiePix924 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:38 PM

    whew, #3 and #4 gave me serious carthorse issues

  23. Pretzel3_profileTomatoDavmar on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:38 PM

    got them all not taking my answers :(

  24. AvatarCarrotrobrizob on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:40 PM

    [24] Might be your spelling on 7.

  25. Pretzel3_profileTomatoDavmar on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:42 PM

    [24] double checking

  26. FileSailboatdagibbs on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:43 PM

    I think I've got them all, but also having trouble with order of pairs.

    And, yes, adjective-noun helps -- but English also flexibly allows you to treat nouns like adjectives and in those cases, really hard to know order.

  27. FileSailboatdagibbs on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:45 PM

    Ok, got them.

  28. AvatarCarrotrobrizob on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:46 PM

    [27] and others: I recognized there would be trouble in this regard. The crossings are supposed to help eliminate ambiguity.

  29. Avatar_profileEggknights23 on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:51 PM

    (29) some crossing DO help, but 1, 6, 7 and 10 could be either way

  30. Ptdkr003cb_700_knocker_93946_255x300Tomatonocca on Fri Dec 19, 2008 07:51 PM

    thanks [18]

  31. FileSailboatyelowflower on Sat Dec 20, 2008 04:19 AM

    any salt on the lord vader one? only one I don't have and on my puzzle it is number 4

  32. Sc002a57f6Pumpkinrunart on Sat Dec 20, 2008 06:21 AM

    man, that is SO SMART AND SO FUNNY!! AWESOME hyper!

  33. Jack_0307Radishchlte on Sat Dec 20, 2008 11:19 AM

    Fun - didn't click til I got to 5! 3 was hardest for me, but then it clicked!

  34. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Sat Dec 20, 2008 04:51 PM

    --check also the spelling of the cheese guy

    [33] Sure, his name has to go with the clothes statue

    funone robrizob! (or should I say onefun)

  36. Tubbataha_reefPearreifer on Sun Dec 21, 2008 09:05 AM

    On #7 I was slow but then I made the jump

  37. Avatar_profilePotatocanyc on Sun Dec 21, 2008 05:18 PM

    #2 doesn't actually fit the theme unless you Americanize the cheese, so to speak

  38. AvatarCarrotrobrizob on Sun Dec 21, 2008 06:54 PM

    [38] In English dictionaries, that's the pronunciation given.

  39. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Tue Dec 23, 2008 05:35 AM

    And more help on #2, the cheese one? I can't figure out either piece.

  40. FileEggj15bell on Tue Dec 23, 2008 08:43 PM

    still cannot get the mobster guy.

  41. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Wed Dec 24, 2008 08:20 PM

    [41] He might be singing rap. And it's not the best rhyme. :) You got any salt for the cheese one? :)

  42. FileEggj15bell on Wed Dec 24, 2008 08:26 PM

    [42] did finally get it. ty. when you get the cheese watch how you spell the deity.

  43. FileEggj15bell on Wed Dec 24, 2008 08:42 PM

    cheese is from Holland btw

  44. FilePumpkinJohnQ118 on Tue Mar 24, 2009 04:34 PM

    how to clue the current #2(headless vader) & #6(pickle)?

    too many of these could be either way - the crosses DON'T help on several.

  45. Aug080195Eggplantgusssr on Fri Apr 09, 2010 08:07 PM

    again, my housemate got me started - we call this hinky pinky...

  46. Avatar_profileCarrotmmene on Mon Apr 12, 2010 07:40 PM

    I got all the words but I can't figure out the order of the pairs as too many are ambiguous. And I don't have the patience to try every single permutation so I will move on for now...
