Schro Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Hi all, looked like you all were having fun so thought I'd join in. Now I realize you're all cruel and twisted and enjoy torturing others. In other words, I've found a home! I've tried real hard on this one, this is the best I have so far: the wang cried, "wale"! = Watching Real Weed Edited January 25, 2005 by Schro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schro Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hmm, I know I'm getting closer. The key has to be the two w's, as they represent the most infrequent letter of the bunch. I've narrowed it down to 200 w words, but none of them scream Rush at me. But, since I'm here, I might as well guess. the wang cried, "wale"! = A Chewed Twain Lager?

I guess I can see the Rush reference there, Mark Twain penned the character of Tom Sawyer, and lager could be in reference to Working Man's beer reference. But no, sadly my scramble is not nearly that devious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schro Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Finally got it!! This easily took me about 6 hours, but at last it was all made worthwhile. Incidentally, I was on the right path starting with the w's. I estimated the entire anagram to be either 3 or 4 words. And as it is rare for a word to have 2 w's in them (windward and worthwhile are only two I can think of), that meant at least half or more of the words had exactly one "w" in them. But enough fanfare. Without further adieu: the wang cried, "wale"! Wide-Angle Watcher ..from The Camera Eye, obviously. Schro P.S. Other candidates I threw out were: Ace Angel Withdrew Wire Angel Watched (didn't know how close I was here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Schro, as one of those who regularly plays this game, I doff my cap and say well done. I suspect our horns will lock sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schro Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 At the risk of pressing on prior to Moonraker's blessing, I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat into the ring, lest the subjects go too long without their daily anguish. But be warned! Only the brave shall dare enter this Anagram Gate. For inside lies your deepest fears, the most dangerous of journeys, and your worst nightmares. In these lands unknown, you may find your Road to Freedom, or your Eternal Prison. Many courageous souls have already drowned in this abyss, never to be heard from again. Even at the entrance you can hear the faint cries of the persecuted within. No one would blame you for turning back now, but maybe, just maybe, you could be only one who can defeat this Kingly Foe. The Dark Unknown or Deft Safe Exit? The Choice is yours. Let the tribulations begin! Gather, my fellow tortured souls, and answer this riddle: "Help! I Crave Her Darts!!" Good Luck!

Schro Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Egad! I decided to take a couple hours and read through this entire thread, just to get a history of where the game has gone. It was quite a good read (even with perhaps one too many fart references), when all the of the sudden, a huge wave crashed over my ship. Through my seaspray blurred vision, I saw the worst I feared was true. My anagram quote has already been used before! It's not quite exactly the same, but still I find myself left depressed and hungry. I mean, I spent all that time coming up with something I hoped would be worthy of the anagram gang here. After grabbing a bag of Hershey's kisses and heading to the couch, I sing myself to sleep: Just think of what my life might be In a world where my anagram hasn't been used before! I don't think I can carry on Carry on this cold and empty life Ohhhhhhhhhhh...nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (seque screeching Alex solo) Somebody please solve it already and put me out of my misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It's either an job advertisment looking for taxi inspectors in Slough, Help rate driver Chas or a reference to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem Kubla Khan who built a stately home beside The Sacred River Alph which judging by your earlier post Schro, I think might just be right.

Schro Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Caught me just before I was leaving work and.. You got it! Nice work Madra!! Clues you were supposed to pick up on: Three references to Exit Stage Left, from which Xanadu is on: 1) Kingly Foe - Beneath, Between, and Behind lyric (also double reference to Farewell to Kings, the studio album for Xanadu, obviously) 2) Deft Safe Exit - Wacky Reverse Homonym for Exit.. Stage Left 3) The Choice - reference to Freewill Reference to Xanadu itself 1) In these lands unknown, you may find - "lands unknown" lyric found in Xanadu itself Lead on Madra!

Schro Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Got it. (I think) AA, Hush That Hen As Shooting Expands The Night Has A Thousand Saxophones However, for me to be correct, Madra would have to has mispelled Saxophones as Saxaphones, as I am missing an "o" and have an extra "a" in my solution. Once Madra weighs in, we can determine if I nailed it or need to go back to the drawing board. (though I'm pretty sure I'm right with the "relax" clue) Good one, Madra!!
