twinnes twelvelzare we gonna fly through space fighting monsters and teaching alien women to love?

I'm just making stuff up at this point.

[Reply #201 on:]

The clues are vague and crudely drawn at best.  That being said...

Osiris (4/four)-legged mim(ic/ick)y

Well Doc, Your almost there, but the planet is the home to "weird looking aliens" says Zap, apart from that your all right my friend.
Now I'm off to seethe in rage for missing the TOTPD by 1 post!

[Reply #203 on:]

It could've been any one of three weird looking planets.  I just guessed the one that was actually "went to."

[Reply #204 on:]

Well in BBA Zapp calls the yarn people of Nylar four 'a weird looking alien' but theres no need to be so pedantic. For clarifcations sake the full answer i wanted was;

Nylar Four legged mimIcky

So you wanna take a go or shall we sit around the breakfast table talking about how much we both like Total?

Yoink.  Keeping it easy....

Interrogative Ep. + ‘Humble Chamber’ + Makeshift Hook =

Why Must I be a Crustacean in Lovenasiumbrella?

Also, it's really fucking frustrating being stymied by something you know starts with "um". Force me to ponder my thinking noises...

[Reply #207 on:]

Exactly right, TL.  Let's see what deadly puzzles you've been a-brewin'...

[Reply #208 on:]

Uh, kay. I can't say I've read this thread in its entirety, so sorry if I'm stepping on any toes.

Mistaken Identity of a Founding Father + Incorrect Make and Model of an Antiquated Gas-Guzzler + Job Description of an Orphanarium Alumna + The Rest of a Crazy Do-Good Trio

Back in style, I see.

D'you even need confirmation? Get connecting.

[Reply #211 on:]

I didn't think so, but my folks sent me to catechism anyway.

Defining aspect of the Supreme Court as it relates to a mid-level venue, a miniature (but misidentified) drink requirement, and the home of an ill-gotten legume mutation.

[Reply #212 on:]

I have little to no clue...


Sub-parasold new york?

[Reply #213 on:]

Wow, so many answers, yet none of them are correct.  In case it wasn't obvious (and it probably wasn't) there are four parts.

[Reply #214 on:]

I figure it starts with something to the effect of "the constitution doesn't mean squatter's Corners Civic Audeetorium," but I can't seem to make it work beyond that. Is that part at least right? Anyone care to pick up where I left off?

[Reply #215 on:]

If the first part ends in auditorium, next part could be 'umbrella' instead of 'parasol,' right?

Or am I just obsessed with umbrellas recently?

[Reply #216 on:]

Do you daydream about them?  Have you found yourself wishing you were the Penguin?  Can you think of no better way to inject ricin into Bulgarian dissidents?  If you answered "no" to all of these questions, I wouldn't worry about umbrella-related obsession, which I call "Totesaphilia."

This is NOT a hint.

[Reply #217 on:]

I'm going to crawl out of my nasty bad cold induced misery to offer that the last clue has probably got to with our beloved one-eyed bean machine, Leela.

Or maybe not.

Don't look over the less obvious.  Especially if you've overlooked it before.

[Reply #219 on:]

I figure that "House Wine List Sewer" is pretty close, but my tired brain can't quite get that lat word to tie in properly. House Wine Bar something?

I'm sure that it has something to do with Houe Wine.

[Reply #220 on:]

Good to see you're back, TNUK, but if that's in response to my puzzle, not quite.

[Reply #221 on:]

Supreme Court Mid Level Venue = Hall OF Justice.

Justice.

Misidentified Miniature Drink Requirement = Olives for a Martini?

Olives.

The home of an ill-gotten legume mutation is a little harder. What the hell is the ill-gotten legume in question? Where did it come from?

Justice Olives? What the hell was I thinking? I give up.

[Reply #222 on:]

Okay, this has taken long enough.  It is reflecting poorly on my puzzle construction.  Let me break it down, arithmetic-style with hint-style hints:

Defining aspect of the Supreme Court (or so said by Nixon) + Mid-level venue (where the music is hot and the jowl knuckles are cold) + Miniature but misidentified drink requirement (pre-war scotch just isn't the same without one) + Home of an ill-gotten legume mutation (I already hinted at the legume--minus three, of course--but I'll say it is the "immortalized" home).

[Reply #223 on:]

Well, the first bit is probably:

 The Constituition doesn't mean Squatters' Corner civic audeetoriumbrella

and I can't get past Leela being the legume, the home being the Blernsball hall of fame but I can't make it fit, so I'm probably way off.

I don't know what I'm looking over or overlooking, but it's driving me batty. Kudos Thunder! (In a really rural NS accent, we'd pronounce that t'underr.)

[Reply #224 on:]

I'm growing tired of hints, so here's a big, obvious one: where is Fry's clover on Philip's statue?

For the record:

• "I'm looking over a four-leaf clover that I've overlooked before," is from a song, an old and apparently not-too-popular song.  I'm actually referring to the seven-leaf clover's immortalized home.
• Legumes are simple, dry fruits that open along a seam on two sides and the species belonging to the family of plants that bear them.  These species include beans, peas, alfalfa, and, yes, even clovers.

[Reply #225 on:]

Ohh... I remember that song... *slaps forehead*  Though I never knew that about legumes.

Is it:

"the constitution doesn't mean Squatter's Corners Civic Audeetoriumbrellapel?"

[Reply #226 on:]

Sorry, that's not it.  Oh wait, yes it is.

[Reply #227 on:]

Uh... no good ideas... so here's an easy one

Triclops + Jazzed Activity + 'What If' product =

[Reply #228 on:]

Well, it does require some consideration, so it's not easy easy.  I mean, it's more difficult than pie or falling off a log or even Sunday morning.  That being said, I humbly withdraw.

[Reply #229 on:]

Bumped because this game is far too awesome to be relegated to second-page obscurity.

[Reply #230 on:]

Thunda, I think we're the only two people here (that are here often) that want this game to continue.  Make of that what you will.

C'mon, this one's easy!  I know someone can do it!! If some one even shows an interest I'll start giving hints.

Triclops + Jazzed Activity + 'What If' product =

[Reply #231 on:]

Alkasomethingorothermachine???

I have no idea. BTW, i like this games, its just that whenever i came here to this thread there were no new questions.

[Reply #232 on:]

J, I must exclaim it's an absolute shame what's happened to this game.  I fear I'm to blame.  My last puzzle's aim was to garner acclaim, not horribly maim or ignite a flame to obscure the same and make them seem lame.  Oh, Jakob Boehm, who could I frame to take this infame and clear up my name?

[Reply #233 on:]

...Roger Rabbit? And feel free to answer anytime...

Ok then:

Triclops = Thing with 3 eyes

Jazzed Activity = activity that is a 'jazzed' improvement on another activity.

'What If' product = another phrase for the life simulations we are seeing.

[Reply #234 on:]

Nibblernsball...erm...uh...ye ah.

[Reply #235 on:]

The answer was:

Nibblernsbalternate-realities.

OK, we have some new members lying around who might like this game, so I'm bumping it again. Anyone wanna take a shot? (see page one for rules and examples)  The next turn is up for grabs, or I'll post a new puzzle in a day or so if no one takes the opportunity.

[Reply #236 on:]

OK, so I just read through this whole thread, and it's a cool game. So I'll have a bash, why not?

Delivery boy’s friend accuses him absurdly + Two lobsters – where? + Job dissatisfaction? Go + Trio of Mom

[Reply #237 on:]

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this deserved a bump. It was shoved back to page 2 by those bloody tipcell threads...

So... anyone want to guess?

[Reply #238 on:]

Not too sure on the first and third parts... kinda vague.  Am I on the right track?  How about some clues?

Two lobsters - where? = dumpster?

Trio of Mom = Ignar, Walt and Larry?

[Reply #239 on:]

Yeah, I'm confused too.  The best I can manage is:

...trash b(in)to the (Sun/son)s

or alternatively:

...trash (can)noned into the (Sun/son)s

but neither of them conform to the rules, strictly speaking.
