BranShea BranShea Pooh-Bah Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 1870 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	OK. I keep beeing intrigued by this quiz. Mabbogtebby's nr. 4. and 5. I got some good help for this one and I don't know if it is completely right. 4. I would say: b is d turned backwards (but maybe MadDog was in his cups here?)Is it : b is drunken d? 5. : or should that be 'd' is 'b' backwards. BTW I'm looking for the Gallant Ted wrap up paper everywhere , but all I can get is paper with the kidnapped and commercialized Pooh-Pooh.

Perhaps the expression "mind your p's and q's" had something to do with typesetting, and being wary of easily comfused letters. Oh qooq! A qox uqon it. (b.s. this is from bennyless)

BranShea BranShea Pooh-Bah Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 1870 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	Mabbogtebby! I do perfectly well understand what you say and you always greatly amuse me. Honest. I just don't understand all these WIKIPEDIAPHILES here that don't want to say "mind your pints and quarters" , which is what I perfectly understand beeing of general good breeding myself. I can't understand how a cute Christmas doggy that stole Santa's hood can give such a cold link for an answer in stead of 4 words. And I appreciate all the trouble you took to make those quizzy lines + the effort to mix up the b's and the d's. Here's to you and your Bear friends. A Free round! (It's that all these Wikipedestrians have gotten so lazy they can't solve all of your riddles and don't want to say so.) Edited by BranShea (12/21/06 12:08 PM)

Plus a typing error to make this all the more easy, hm? 7 drunken nights if so....??? But of course the most interesting of all = NR. 24 I got one right in all! A MadDog's one , so , classified now among the bony fido total genusses of this earth. I already knew that! Modesty is my middle name. X X X Edited by BranShea (12/31/06 05:09 AM)
