So where's the animal? Is it an anagram? A humorous animal? I don't see a "V" for "VICK"...

I still can't find it either, even after what I assume is a clue from tsuwm...
Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: interregnum - 08/24/07 07:19 PM
tsuwm spelled it out and everything...

welcome to the Board, ncoig! as a new person, you'll find it!

Is it a gnu word to you, Anna?
Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: interregnum - 08/24/07 07:58 PM
aw, don't give it away....

Rats. Should have recognized the Wildebeest, but I'm so used to seeing it in the context of software licensing these days...



Thanks for the welcome.

I like the "new" clue. But I fail to see how "pignuts" help me get to it...

EDIT: Not a literal clue. Doggone you word people!!!

Don't you read your A.W.A.D.s, daleh? *sigh*

I have to sheepishly admit And now you are gnuly informed. Geez, sometimes I crack myself up! ;-)
Posted By: dalehileman Re: interregnum - 08/30/07 03:23 PM
Jackie, I'm not. As a creaky old codger possibly on the threshold of Alzheimer's, I understand that this word contains "gnu," but still I don't understand most of the posts, including the first one

Perhaps there's nothing else to see
Posted By: Jose Gros Re: interregnum - 08/30/07 03:32 PM
Surprise, surprise! an interregnum is not a bird,is not either the subterranean stone-eater. When a king dies or is moved away, the no king period beween kingdoms is called interregnum (inter= between, regnum=kingdom). Nice day!

wow. I didn't see that. I just assumed that Fald figured it out after he had made his post...
Posted By: tsuwm Re: interregnum - 08/30/07 03:50 PM
well sure, maybe that too.

I just assumed that Fald figured it out after he had made his post... An apropos summing up.

Like with grammar correction to make a complete sentence?

"..., it was."

Ha!


what I wanna know is, wdf is he quoting?
Posted By: Jackie Re: interregnum - 09/01/07 12:51 AM
I think he meant that if I had added ", it was" to the end of An apropos summing up., it would have then been grammatically correct. But I have a sneaking suspicion (touché, A) that he and perhaps others overlooked something, since no one commented on it or followed up. C'mon, people, use your eyes!
Posted By: tsuwm Re: interregnum - 09/01/07 01:09 AM
>perhaps others overlooked something, since no one commented on it or followed up.

or perhaps your self-aggrandizing pat on the back didn't warrant commenting upon.

Hey--when you tell me you saw it the first time, completely on your own, then I'll let you get away with that. Otherwise...I think I'll try siccing Ted on you. (Oh, Te-ed, where are you, Dear One...?) Or maybe I'll dozens you; dunno; but I'll think of something.
Posted By: tsuwm Re: interregnum - 09/01/07 08:19 PM
okay then: I saw it first time, completely on my own.

Oh but is that one? The Kafkaesque 'out' is subject implied:

[Do you] [l]ike [,] with grammar correction [,] to make a complete sentence?

Nothing counts as assailable if Anna likes it, Snippy2.
