Top 100!!!!!1

arghh... I had it almost immediately, but didn't recognize the bottom left picture (and google/amazon had nothing good). Still don't know how the bottom two fit.

But I only guessed it from the first two clues. Still can't figure out how the last two fit in.

Blowed if i can work out who that is in the Glass Menagerie.

Fun puzzle... The bottom two DO fit.

And only 10 measly points. Sheesh!! :o)

The bottom two do fit... but I never would have seen it except in hindsight. Got it off the first two pictures after a false start.

Working backwards, I finall realize how the menagerie clue fits.

For those working on it, you want a character description, not character name.

Got the answer and see the pictures fit except for the last one.

woohoo!
my first top ten
lets hear it for just guessing after getting the beginning!
(actually, I made it inthe top 100 for everything but the Hard One Word, and I seldom even look at those...maybe I should tonight...)

edit--WOOHOO!
just slipped into the top 100 on the Hard One.

Yeah, it works... the album cover cleverly has something missing.

184th! All time record!

Cute.

I suppose if it was rosie it would have been too easy. Nice.

so lost on the significance of the songs.

say wa? assuming "One of these" means what I've always thought it to mean... and assuming I found the correct album title... I still got nothing. Searching for the play got my lost in boredville. I'm familiar with the song but don't understand it. I'm seeing a very familiar beginning that in no way seems to connect with what ever the end is.

It's featured in a very, very annoying commercial.

nice, if you can remember a particular U.S. advertising campaign that's been discontinued for 20 years. Otherwise...I feel your pain.

Two ideas came to me from the first two pictures. The second idea was right. Think slogan, not song.

I give up. Ring round whatever.

[22] The Glass Menagerie guy is an old fashioned term used to describe a suitor when he showed up at a girl's house. Then, it's just a matter of changing the indefinate article to a definate one, and doing what the fourth picture tells you. That leaves you with an answer that shows up in Google, so no autocorrection. Suffice to say that you have to change one letter to get to the more common close word. As a hint the first vowel changes (maybe too salty?) to a similar looking one.

Oh, and it that 2nd picture also needs an article.

*UGH*... that's a big stretch.

aargh. I was trying to use the guy's actual name, rather than what he is frequently called.... Finally figured it out when I saw the important mathematical symbol I had not noticed in the picture.

50 seconds, 365th!!!!

bleh... second and third pictures were very misleading.

Slick. Very slick.

Got it from the first 2 clues, too. Had to Google the last part, but yes, it certainly does fit. Good one!

Got it thanks to [23]. Is there some way to know what the term was supposed to be for the third picture without knowing the plot of that play? I really can't stand puzzles that require that kind of specific prior knowledge. Using logic and intuition is great, even having to do quick google searches is fine, but having to know the storyline of a play from the 40's? Come on.

Well, I'm stumped. No idea what the second picture is supposed to be (although I did find the page where it came from on Google Images by searching the text in it... eventually).

If what [20] says is true I shouldn't know it at all. Too young, not American.

>_<

I got the first 2 words and then [20]'s comment gave me the rest.

Man, I wish I had some Whisk! for this puzzle. :)

[33] thanks that did it for me!

I always find that giving salt that gets the answer instead of understanding the puzzle is less satisfying.

That being said, the "Glass Menagerie" was the tricky part... because the author isn't looking for a specific name for the character.

I'm sorry so many people found it difficult to get the 3rd clue. Looking up "Glass Menagerie" on IMDB or Wikipedia (and almost every other reference I found) always listed Jim O'Connor's commonly used moniker. Even without knowing which of the main "Menagerie" characters that guy was, using the George Michael album cover should help. Without looking up the Wham frontman's discography, the completion of "Ladies & ... " shouldn't be very difficult. Armed with that missing word, looking at the cast of characters from "Menagerie" ought to ring some bells.

I appreciate all the feedback, positive and negative, on this, my first puzzle.

I am really lost I thought I had all 4 words, I Got the first one, and the 3rd one. I though I knew the second one, but now I am soo confused.

Okay I finally got it, apparently the the last word is not what I thought, it was similar but not the actual word you get from the clue at least not the spelling. Thank you google.

You are a freaking genius!!, you solved this puzzle.
