Men with a garter should have been smarter

Then to mix drink with their volcanic activity.

You would be wise to look for the prize

Is that really it, or did you make that up?

Read to me over the phone from the pp from a trusted pal - i'm sure it's real.

Playground.

I don't think it is, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see to be sure.

If legit, I'm picturing this clue as describing a billboard nearby.

Too much innuendo in this clue. Has to be a fake.

Whoever it was that said playground - that would also be my take on this.

All that for a sliding hill? Sounds like Souch to me

The first two lines speak of the issues with the Vulcans last year.

The 2nd two lines, I believe, are the guts of this clue.

I think it should be vulcanic

Is this the clue or not

At least it eliminates highland - no playground there.

Pretty vague. If playground is all they're giving us.
Mon, 01/23/2006 - 9:30 PM Permalink
Terry

Unless its sliding hill(s).
Mon, 01/23/2006 - 9:30 PM Permalink

I don't see this as pointing toward a playground.

These clues aren't as much fun as the past few years, if you ask me.
Mon, 01/23/2006 - 9:31 PM Permalink
diggin4it

FWIW - my take.... Definetly meaning playground
Mon, 01/23/2006 - 9:32 PM Permalink

You're probably right. It's just such a disappointing clue. :frown:
Mon, 01/23/2006 - 9:33 PM Permalink
Terry

Whichever way - it's something kids take a liking to do.

Perhaps it's referring to the ride area of Como?

Not that the medallion would be in the zoo area, but knowing it's there.

But we have at least a couple choices - playground and/or sliding hill(s).

That doesn't eliminate much if anything.

What time does the clue usually come out? Does someone down at the PP post it for us here, like Downtown Dave used to do?

Hello Mrs. KOP!

We have this as the clue:

Men with a garter should have been smarter

Than to mix drink with their volcanic activity.

You would be wise to look for the prize

By taking up a child's proclivities.

If it's different or the same, you can either verify it or type in the real one.

Hi Mrs. - just type in as it reads

It is really wonderful that people that get to the paper make a point of getting it here.

Hats off to all of you! You're the greatest!!!

I have a hard time believing that's the clue. Like why would they want to bring up an incident that gave the Winter Carnival a black eye?
