I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.

Maybe with any luck tonight's clue is going to mention playground equipment. That will help us narrow it down. LOL

Two, I've said tons. In many posts. Ittiz all here.

I'll tell you what I think #5 means:

opposites one word says it all for both "cloudy" AND "foul". An antonym. One word. And ittiz the name of a street.

I bet in three days we won't be saying newell or phalen anymore.

One of the great disadvantages of being in a hurry is that it takes such a long time.

Tha antonym of cloudy and foul is fair.

I think phalen is pretty much out of the question

Regal, you're splitting hairs! LOL!!! One word - one word! But for the tack-on. Izz that what you mean?

What if the whole clue is just telling you what it is wrapped in. And what if opposites attract has absolutely nothing to do with it at all.

Troy/Kitty, possibly. But not according to my Word thesaurus (sp?). I'm not just picking words outta my head. My opinion's based on what I *found*.

There are many antonyms for both words. But only *one* that fits both "cloudy" and "foul."

Thu, 01/27/2000 - 5:49 PM Permalink
Troy & Kitty

I know that "fair" is nothing new, but the one word that green keeps talking about is driving me crazy. I can't figure it out. I've looked at all the antonyms for cloudy and foul and fair is the only one that they both share.

out looking at some parks parks i think are still in the hunt newell linwood kellog mounds and more

Which thesaurus are you using?

okay then that sounds good but, that could be a throw you off clue.

Thu, 01/27/2000 - 5:51 PM Permalink

Also have you guys maybe thought that mood is the clue word here? Or is it just cloudy and foul?

here's a thought maybe the point of this whole clue is to tell you that you have to pull the medallion out of something or as it says extract and there is nothing else to it. Maybe everyone is reading to far into this one.

green

My Word one. You only have to do one o'the words. When the antonym comes up... BINGO! :) You'll see. It'll make the other word make sense.

Troy & Kitty

Okay, I'll try again, but if I don't get it this time I'm giving up on it. My head is starting to hurt from too much noodling

FOR CLUE #5 I LIKE THESE IDEAS...

CLOUDY + FOUL = FAIR

EXTRACT = RAILROAD TRACKS (X-TRACK) AND ALSO WORKS TO 'EXTRACT' THE OPPOSITES OF CLOUDY AND FOUL...

SIMPLE LIKE THE CLUE STATES...

CLEAR! Clear Ave runs into Phalen

okay how about this when it says opposites attract I think of people male female etc etc what if they are talking about animals to and the park has animals located in it or around it. I know that is a stretch but, maybe.

The only thing I don't like about Phalen is the fact that they lock it after 10:00 PM you would think that if the medallion was hid there that they would leave it open because of the 11:30 clue.

Well, Cosmo Cat you really never know and maybe the person who wrote these are also far fetched it doesn't hurt anything to be open minded and crazy sometimes.
