  1. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:13 PM

    A little unclear on the theme here.
    nm - got the theme

  2. FilePancakesA_Beaverhausen on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:13 PM

    Made a couple of lucky guesses. Not particularly an expert on this topic.

  3. FileRocketPhantaCComics on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:14 PM

    I get the theme but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out some of these. You might try using Google with the name of this puzzle to clue you in some.

  4. FileBananarissa2sassy on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:14 PM

    Can I get some salt on the theme?

  5. FileSailboatkevinruns262 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:15 PM

    I would guess that a scoutmom might not. Most people can't wait until they're 21 so that they can "legally" consume this.

  6. FileRocketPhantaCComics on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:24 PM

    I've made a couple of guesses that seem to fit though I'm not certain on. However, I'm clueless on the red shrub thing.

    *edit*
    Took out the heavy accidental salt.

  7. FileSailboatkevinruns262 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:20 PM

    [6] You said it, but different spelling.

  8. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:21 PM

    [6] You're saltier than you think. Read your answer and think of names...

  9. FileRocketPhantaCComics on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:23 PM

    [7] and [8] Yeah, I smacked my forehead on the red shrubbery. . . the PA was actually fine. I was wrong on the baseball player. I filled that one in before I had been certain of the theme and forgot to go back.

  10. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:24 PM

    Sheesh!!!

  11. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:25 PM

    [6] Think nickname for the PA thing

  12. FileAceSolar_Penguin on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:25 PM

    Lost on the truck.

  13. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:26 PM

    [12] You have to look at the picture close up - see what it tells you.

  14. FilePotatorevchewie on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:29 PM

    [11] Nickname for the PA thing? The only one I'm stuck on is PA...

  15. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:30 PM

    [14] Look up the state nickname

  16. FileDuckieescKey on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:30 PM

    I'm getting really thirsty while stuggling with these

  17. Donimo_pirate_beatlesEggDonimo on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:31 PM

    Have all but the gun, etc.

  18. 217303494_crw_7371110107Appleamaries80 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:33 PM

    I'm stuck on the gun one too....

  19. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:33 PM

    [17] What kind of gun is it? (if it helps, it's a single action carbine - used by the US Army since shortly after the end of the Civil War and one of the most famous handguns around)

  20. FileCarrotpitamuffin on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:34 PM

    The gun one is the only one I'm NOT stuck on

  21. FileRocketn8uredude on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:35 PM

    have all but the baseball player, know who it is, just not how it relates to the theme

  22. FileRocketn8uredude on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:35 PM

    have all but the baseball player, know who it is, just not how it relates to the theme

  23. 217303494_crw_7371110107Appleamaries80 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:35 PM

    cool...got them!! Top 100!!

  24. FileBananaukkonen on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:35 PM

    [17] & [18] What type of gun is it? You dont always have to follow the alphabet

  25. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:37 PM

    [22] His name IS the name - he says it's his...so be sure it's possessive (minus the ' of course)

  26. FileRocketPhantaCComics on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:37 PM

    Wow, I had no idea the PA was a state, it didn't click. . . I don't know how I got to my answer, I knew it didn't seem to make sense but it fit what I had to work with and fit the theme. After the fact I wonder if somewhere in the back of my mind I knew without knowing.

    As for the gun. . . how about some Malt instead of salt?

  27. FilePotatorevchewie on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:38 PM

    Thanks [15]. Now I just need to figure out the one I realised was wrong... *chuckle*

  28. FileAceSolar_Penguin on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:38 PM

    [13] Thanks, never heard of that kind.

  29. Avatar_profileGrapestravdawg on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:39 PM

    nice HC!

  30. FileRocketn8uredude on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:39 PM

    thanks kept forgetting to make it his

  31. Avatar_profileBananaspurs13 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:42 PM

    any salt on the lion? I have an idea of what i think it is but it doesnt fit

  32. Avatar_profileApplemispri2 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:50 PM

    Yeah, yeah.
    Hit myself in the forehead after google common beers.
    Top ten on the 3 puzzles but this one killed me.

  33. FilePotatorevchewie on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:44 PM

    Ok, thought I had it but what I had for the third clue (second from the bottom across) is wrong, doesn't mesh with the last one down... The first half of the name is obvious, can't figure out the second half.

  34. FilePancakesbrupop on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:46 PM

    Burp!!

  35. Avatar_profileStrawberryKinchyle on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:48 PM

    mispri2 - You gave yourself your own salt.

  36. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:49 PM

    [31] Ummmm....your question is a bit salty
    [32] Yours too!!!

  37. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:49 PM

    For the last one down, Google what you can see on the album cover, it will give you the name.

  38. PixelBananaaynjul on Tue Dec 18, 2007 07:57 PM

    I liked this puzzle. The only one I couldn't find was the Golden PA... well and had to ask hubby what the gun was because I couldn't find a gun adult beverage nor revolver adult beverage.

  39. FileDuckieescKey on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:03 PM

    I believe I have them all but the lion is killing me. Salt?

  40. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:07 PM

    [39] What is the picture of? That is the name.

  41. FileSailboatkevinruns262 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:06 PM

    [39] It is exactly what is pictured.

  42. FileDuckieescKey on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:11 PM

    Geez!!! Thanks

  43. FilePotatorevchewie on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:13 PM

    THANKYOU! [40] [41] That was driving me nuts. Googling and wiki-ing everything I could think of with the first part in it.

    Hmmm... Found it on wiki now, looks like it's only available on the east coast. No wonder this California boy never heard of it. And that it's the *only* one in the puzzle that I've never heard of.

    heheh
    Think I'll go have a brew now.

  44. Avatar_profileKiwiFauxRed on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:23 PM

    I have them all and I think they are spelled right, but it's telling me I'm not correct. Ugh!

  45. FileClockJewelia on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:24 PM

    Obviously, I don't get out enough. I only knew the ones from my local supermarket. But it was fun learning about the rest!

  46. Avatar_profileGarlicmagicode on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:25 PM

    I think these type of hypercrosses are the good ones - we have a tight theme with clever pictures related to the theme. No need to go to google and try and find out what the specific breed or flower type is. Nice job.

  47. FileWatermelonkrainbo on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:30 PM

    Salt for the gun? It's the only one I need.

  48. FilePotatorevchewie on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:32 PM

    [47], [19] pretty much salted the gun as much as possible.

  49. FileBananaukkonen on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:34 PM

    [47] for the gun, reference [19] or [24] for plenty of salt.

  50. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:41 PM

    I don't understand how you get the answer from the Grim Adventures clue. I get the beginning and the end, but I don't see where the middle comes from.

  51. FileAppleGantrell on Tue Dec 18, 2007 08:42 PM

    116th almost made the top 100.

  52. Avatar_profileAppleCrispy94 on Tue Dec 18, 2007 09:39 PM

    Wow just logged in and realized my puzzle was up. I am glad people enjoyed this it was my first one.

  53. FileRocketn8uredude on Tue Dec 18, 2007 09:42 PM

    the grim adventure comes from a presidents brother

  54. FileRocketn8uredude on Tue Dec 18, 2007 09:43 PM

    GREAT puzzle Crispy

  55. SouthparkPepperTahnan on Tue Dec 18, 2007 10:52 PM

    There were some fairly unfamiliar ones in there; would have been happier with it if I could look at a picture, think, and say "Oh, of course" (as with the shrubbery and the Sisyphus) rather than look at a picture, think of something, and say, "I wonder whether that fits the theme at all."

  56. FileSailboatIlta on Wed Dec 19, 2007 04:35 AM

    Ironically, I was out drinking with my theater group last night, and so didn't get to the puzzle until this morning.

    The truck clue was a bit weak, especially given the excellent possibilities for alternatives. The Sisyphus clue, however, was gold, as was the setting satellite; the red shrub was also quality. Solid, well-executed theme and excellent choices within that theme excuses all. Good puzzle!

  57. Avatar_profileCherriesphattymatt on Wed Dec 19, 2007 06:27 AM

    Well the gun one had me confused, now I feel so stupid.

  58. FilePlumdougtaylor1 on Wed Dec 19, 2007 07:41 AM

    That was a nice challenge. Thanks all for the nacl.

  59. FileStrawberrycurlykitty on Wed Dec 19, 2007 09:01 AM

    Have them all but the shrub is killing me. Any salt?

  60. FileStrawberrycurlykitty on Wed Dec 19, 2007 09:01 AM

    Have them all but the shrub is killing me. Any salt?

  61. Avatar_profileAceGertSoB on Wed Dec 19, 2007 09:35 AM

    Hey! We're allowed to have numbers? I didn't know that.

  62. FileStrawberrycurlykitty on Wed Dec 19, 2007 09:39 AM

    Doh! The shrub just came to me! =)

  63. Avatar_profileGrapesshrapnel on Wed Dec 19, 2007 10:39 AM

    Huh. Never would've gotten the theme without salt and none of the clues mean anything to me (though I got the salted gun after a few minutes). I think I'll pass.

  64. 200px-monarch_01Peachcagedsoul on Wed Dec 19, 2007 03:00 PM

    I'm stuck on the truck... I got the rest... any help?

    Edit: nevermind...*clunk*

  65. FileKiwiHokumDigital on Wed Dec 19, 2007 07:04 PM

    Wha? Why am I seeing the old one?

  66. FileClockmust67 on Wed Dec 19, 2007 07:29 PM

    Where's the new hyper?

  67. FileGrapesdantan98 on Wed Dec 19, 2007 08:54 PM

    I still don't know this one...NEXT!

  68. FileApplediandneo on Wed Dec 19, 2007 08:56 PM

    I want a new hyper please.
