How 'bout we start a Good Hunting New Year's tradition?

[Thumper]

Kinda like the old "Halloween" parties we used to have ... that more or less died out when Helen abandoned us.

Just simple "words or phrases" ... (or any other "reminder") of present or past members. Just post a word or sentence without mention of whom it's referring to and we'll answer it with a name/moniker. It might make it easier to try a numbering system to keep the answers organized in case we get a shit load of clues. Got the idea from another recent post here today.

VERY SIMPLE EXAMPLES of a word or two ....

1) "Pink Pants".

Or,

2) "Wadders".

Simple clues ... simple answers. But some, may go back a few years and take a bit more thinking. (words, phrases or sentences will work) Example:

3) "Satellite dish in deer stand"

Some could lead to multiple answers ... kinda like a tv show that results in a "spin-off". Example:

4) "Mouser"

Kinda dumb ... but it may take hold and bring back some fond and/or amusing memories ... and "could" even start a New Year's tradition.

Just thought of a new rule ... if the "hint" refers to "YOU" ... you're disqualified from answering. Example:

5) "Big White Johnson" (the white boy here with a "big one", cannot answer this) ;)

It just hit me, the numbering system will obviously get fubar'ed eventually ... maybe we should use the original poster's handle as well as the number in his/her post. Example:

Sunshine posts hints 1-3 and anyone who answers HER post will state ... "Sunshine #2 ... XXX ... sumpin' like that. I can see a question/answer cluster-fuck on the horizon, but whatever ... we can work it out as we go along I suppose. What'cha think? Post your hints list and/or your answers and let's see where it takes us.

You're gonna have to translate that into English.

But I'll start and see if I do it right.

Here's the hint:

6) "How does one get a skunk out from under the porch?"

It is a bit wordy huh? I'm sure it'll be a work in progress to iron out the "bugs". I think the toughest part (which you've already screwed up) is some way to identify the questions/hints to pair them with the answers. I mentioned numbering them ... but I foresee that being a disaster, so maybe a simple "cut & paste" (question/answer) would be better.

Good start on your part though ... I remember that story ... just not the details. I'm also a bit interested to see if anything comes up that I have zero recollection of .. from the time I spent in the hospital for example. I missed out on a few months of youse dufes and have no clue what happened during that time.

It'd be fun to start out with a shit-load of questions at first, then start answering later. That way, people could ponder on them for a while wondering what the "punch-line" is instead of a question with an immediate answer thrown out.

Can you tell it's a rainy/dreary day here and I'm a bit bored? :(

7) Lead Pants

P.S. Using the powers bestowed upon me by the Secret Committee, I altered your post to include the numbering system for your question. :D

8) a classic. The Chipmonk.

Ha ha! That's a classic alright! ;)

Who'd have made a post similar to this?

Captain, it appears to be some kinda random free association game that Pumpheads like to play.

Sometimes I forget to tone down my intelligence with parts of this crowd. I have to learn how to make simple sentences and get into the "Me Tarzan, you Jane" mode. Sheeeesh, it's tough to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys! ;)

15) Dennis Weaver
16) Juilliard (music) School

17) I don't want to “give him a chance”. I don't want to “see how it goes”. I don't want him to be our Commander-in-Chief, I don’t want him analyzing The Second Amendment and I don't want him to handle our foreign affairs. He's already told us what he wants to do and now he wants to do it. It's extremely frightening.

And I'm s'posed to take this grief from a guy who needs a ladder to get into the bottom bunk at deer camp. ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

When are we supposed to start guessing who they're about and how?

[Thumper]

I don't know ... sheesh! I was bored ... I figured we'd make the rules as we go. :D

I think a weekday would be more fun with more participants. Go ahead and give it a shot. I'm holding a few back for future use. I "think" they're pretty simple so far. This game prolly ain't to difficult for the old farts around this joint.

Rules! We don't need no stinking rules.....

18) “Our current state of red/blue politics is like the final throes of a bad marriage. It’s become not about achieving reconciliation, or even an end, but how much pain can be inflicted before one side walks away…”

I know! I know!

Ya' know ... as a long-time member of Mensa, I should'a known youse dufes would have trouble hangin' with me. :moon

[Buckrub]

I couldn't have read this three times if the gift of understanding it had been Cheryl Tiegs.

[Thumper]

Here's an example to maybe help simplify things.

Statement/hint: (or even easier ... whom does this remind you of?) "I tried to fix the crown on my watch with a hammer, crowbar and a tire iron ... but I broke it."

Answer: "Bucky" ;)

[Buckrub]

That's stupid.

I haven't had a watch since Feb 2011.

[Thumper]

I just re-read my post above ... I never mentioned WHEN you tried to fix it. :biggrin
