Roger Clemente Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 They thought they lost the plane forever. A plane that flies so fast, everyone called it the Spark because of how brief it lasts in the skies. It was lost in the Andies back in sixty-three. But thanks to a man by the name of Philip Harley, the plane was foundly, primarily intact in a cave located in the Eastern face of the mountain range. A benchmark in aerodynamics, the British government were eager to find their most beloved accomplishment still in good shape. They vowed to get back in working condition and use it to base their new jet airliners on it's prototype. The news of the find got England excited. In the London Daily Press, the headline read: The Spark Still Flies. Alas, it was hard to contain the glee the Brits had. This was something worth celebrating. A return to the triumph of industry.

Roger Clemente Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Thank you everyone. I pounced upon these boards a few days ago and found this game. I think it's a very clever game. I intend on posting a lot more. And now, my inaugural scramble. I took me an hour to come up with this one (but only two minutes to come up with the story to accompany it. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.): One day, before a show, the famous Geddrow S. Lee was sitting down to his regular pre-show meal of soup. Today it was tomato. However, it was gone. At first Geddrow thought it was eaten by his new friend, the immortal Fred Penner. But Geddrow didn't think he was capable to doing something so fiendish. He examined the bowl and saw little drops of soup in a perfect pattern leading from the bowl to the edge of the table. Then Geddrow remember's Fred's pet spider. A big mother of a tarantula. Geddrow alerts his bandmate Sandy J. Lifeson about the possible theft of the soup by the spider, but Sandy confessed that he took the soup and ate it. This puzzled Geddrow. He couldn't believe it. He said to Sandy "I was sure Penner's tarantula ate my soup!" Sandy proved it was him, by showing Geddrow his soup-stained fingertips. Geddrow was convinced. He gave Sandy a Dutch rub and told him to never eat his soup again. The end. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While all this was going on, the two boys' bandmate Alphonsus Wrigley Peart found his ears were beginning to throb from the sound of the recriminatory arguements in the room, and as Geddrow's high pitched whining began to resemble an airliner taking off, Alphonsus realised the only was to sooth him would be to ply him with his favourite alcoholic beverage. He jumped to his feet, exclaimning "An aural pressure, must open tasty wine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Seeing as it's Halloween, it seems a suitably macabre guess is called for. Imagine if you will, somewhere in England, a bass playing quiz compiler is walking along and he suddeny sees a lovely puppy. As he walks over to take a closer look, a horrible evil looking creature jumps out from behind a hedge and devours the pup. Our hero does his best Sir Robin impression.......

Roger Clemente Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I dare say these are some damn funny answers you are giving. I enjoy it very much. Perhaps a hint or two are in order... Two versions of the same word appear in the real answer. Also, in one of the hilarious guesses provides, one of them has three letters in the correct order in the correct place in the answer. --Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Yeah....you're way off. Not true...though, of all the bold words you've written, one of them is correct. Another clue eh? Seven words the puzzle be... Another clue? By the end of the month, the song this puzzle is from will have been on two live albums. Looking for another clue? You may want to look back in retrospect... --Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Are you sure you're not Schro in disguise???. The reason I ask is that it's in my nature. It seems to me that as we spin the verbose threads of this scrambled web we weave, a sense of ethereal, almost supernatural synchronicity settles in our collective unconscious, and we forge the way ahead as one.

madra sneachta Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The year is 2111. Unknown to the Temple Priests who control the Red Star Federation, the Elder Race is already planning it's return, and to prepare the way, it has sent an advance party of cunningly disguised spies. Cunning, because they are not human, they are in fact female sheep. One day, as one of the specially trained ovine operatives is carefully tracking the signals from a farm beside Temple City's main communications base, a Red Star flag is raised in the farmyard by a group of visiting priests, and the other animals prostrate themselves before it. Our interpid agent sends a coded mission to an Elder Race ship, and receives the following nugget of advice - Recon Ewe - Bow To The Flag ; Priests Are Venomous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) There's no pretty way of saying this.
