Meet me (giddy after my march to victory) at the rural cottage so we may celebrate with Louis and Robin. Great job!!

Onnicle: The chef assured the new waiter, “Sure, members may order anything on the menu à la mode.” Clue: The actual name of a 1960 John Wayne movie, as well as what most folks think is the name of the movie.

As far as I know, the actual title does not include "Remember". I promise I will post one today!

You will be able to quickly solve the first part, but the second and third parts are truly trivial, and I am prepared to have no one solve those. Onnicle: Maybe not the entire board, but most may agree, not every name or title is suitable for onniclization. It takes a bit of wizard to create and offer a tricky one that will be lauded, and allows the author to bask in the glory of lexical praise. The best ones provide a bit of (hopefully temporary...) bamboozlement. Though perhaps not woe, these cagey, escapist conundrums do provide mental stimulation and enjoyment. Onnicle: Book, movie and musical have many differences. Besides the title, hidden are two two-word phrases naming aspects of a major character in the movie and musical that are NOT in the book. I'll add a hint now: all four words are simple, kindergarten vocabulary words. Good luck! :0) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Onamography - Strictly for the creative ones twosleepy #190837 04/30/10 10:40 PM Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 655 Florida, USA beck123 addict beck123 addict Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 655 Florida, USA Maybe not THE entire board, but most may aGREE, Not every name or title is suitable for onniclization.

"green skin" and "two eyes," referring to the WWotW! Good one! Now, an easy one... Onnicle: I was lucky enough to win “Stone Pilots” tickets in a radio contest: front row seats for their concert in the park next Sunday! After church, I’ll ride over with Joe and Frankie to see the show. Clue: With his luck, he and Frankie and Joe would probably be an unbeatable team on the new “Wii” game platform "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

Let me know if it was really easy. Onnicle: From sabres and kilts to assault rifles and flak jackets, military uniforms have transformed from highly colorful and distinctive to camouflage and practical. French armies used the epaulette to denote rank among their soldiers, having borrowed the idea from early Roman garb. Most units, especially a post, legion or division of Europe, incorporate shoulder insignia into their full dress uniforms today; however, the Russians, Ukrainians and Tatars usually wear a uniform less ornamental. Clue: Can you find both this person’s names plus citizenship?

Onnicle: Salesgirl Sarah and her musician pal, Bertram, fell in love in Steinway’s piano showroom on West 57th Street in Manhattan many, many years ago. Clue: Who knew such a thing could happen? Well, this gentleman from the academic world probably did, since he is credited with having known just about everything, and then some. "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.
