Superb!
Hmmm, five minutes into the game and I still got top 100. Guess everyone else is there.
Figures you would make a puzzle like this, sonja!
Funny, and a good weekend for it too.
1 minute and 20 seconds and were the 90th Tanga member
woo hoo! first time under 100!
The first clue cracked me up. Great puzzle!
Thanks 4.

Very appropriate this weekend!
[6] Yeah? Would you believe me if I told you I am married to him? :)
10th. Would have been quicker but had a tough time getting away from "hirsute . . . . etc.", lol. (inside joke, not salt)
Nice one sonjahi. A response to a particular discussion thread I assume?
Hey, why can't I "like" a puzzle AFTER I solve it? {pouts}
[10] The avoidance of the "duh" picture is in response to that thread, yes. The hirsute man is just a lucky coincidence.
[3] Well, of course! :)
[12] The 'hirsute' reference was just a joke. I meant a longer, more challenging crypto when I mentioned the discussion thread.
[13] Ahhh... if you think this one was "longer, more challenging", just wait until you see what I've got in the queue! I actually think I had submitted this one before that discussion got going.
[14] Ok, I'll be girding my loins (whatever the hell that means, lol).
Nice, took me a pleasantly long time, great joke on the first clue, I too needed to get away from the specific and to the general.
Snape killed Dumbledore!
[17] Wrong movie.
the 228th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
Nice one Sonjahi, but the arrow to a specific item when you mean much more is confusing.
[19] The arrow points to the guy rather than the act or what is being made. I got that much when I started the puzzle. Didn't get the modifier until I solved a little more though. I think the arrow might also be emphasizing the beard.
Nice puzzle, sonjahi! That first picture makes it. And thank you for not using the "duh" pic.
You solved this puzzle in 2 minutes and 21 seconds and were the 344th Tanga member to solve it.
I got a little confused because the arrow was pointing to the beard, but after sounding out the other half of it I figured out my mistake and smirked at my stupidity lol.
[10] I think I've done that puzzle. Also either that one or a related one that used the two beginning words from this puzzle. I think maybe they're linked to in a FAQ of some sort?
[19][22] You guys are right. My intent was as [20] described but I was worried people might think the beard. I almost moved the arrow several times!
You solved this puzzle in 9 seconds and were the 393rd Tanga member to solve it.
I'm never under 100, but I'm quick!
You solved this puzzle in 41 seconds and were the 418th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
"Beard and Tub" wasn't really going anywhere... 2nd half of the puzzle made it click. (hope that's not too salty, but that B bothered me).
My computer didn't load right the first time. . . I had the guy the atlas and the thumb. . . Made a whole lot more sense when I refreshed my browser. :)
Love the first clue.
Personally, this is my favorite of the series thus far. Looking forward to more in July.
