WOOT!

I don't know about the original, but the 2009 #### is probably less entertaining than this puzzle.

a 40 pointer..... I felt like I had a lisp there until I got it ... bot that there's anything wrong with a lisp... whew, saved. maybe.

Was anyone else first? Or did we tie?

Argh. i think i get all but the last word.

u got me on this one. last part makes no sense. any salt?

[6] [8] Try some cloud bursting to sharpen your mind.

never heard of it - I googled the last part and got the first part

that movie made no sense.

Thank you 11. I actually got this earlier but didn't believe the answer. Neither my wife nor I knew the reference. We need to do less puzzles and get out more.

This is one of the answers in the NY Times end of year quiz yesterday. It's really fun if anyone wants to give it a go:

[11] I agree with you. And sadly I paid full price to go see it.

[13] How can the same person who presents the puzzle be the first solver?

Yeah [16], I don't understand that...

[16][17] they can solve the puzzle whenever they want. they just don't get any points. so no harm no foul I think.

i totally get the rebus and the reference, but can't get a word from it. do you have to have seen it?

nevermind...

got it. that wasn't a word. haven't been here for a while, but it used to be that the answer had to be a word. >.<

nevermind again...

i was thinking of the one word wonder. ::head slap::

Bah Looking at the solution I see I had it all except the first part.
