>>Alright! Possum wants to know who's using a descrambler? <<

All of us. Actually, using an anagram finder is useful for scrambling the name into a funny anagram -- but not so useful for descrambling.

And in an attempt to prove that I realized that I had made a spelling error in my last clue. I was after "rhinocerous beetle" -- but that ain't how you spell rhinoceros.

So ... nevermind.

Sorry, Eve, I've never cheated on this. Just spent hours agonizing,
until something clicked. Maybe Alan can enlighten us-but it really
wouldn't be any fun.

Hummingbird Moth and you shamed me into it -- I solved this one legit

What was the headline in the local paper when Marquette U disposed of the rare suburban avian?

Coll. sells Pewaukee Birdy

of course. But I used an anagram finder for this clue. (http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html)

and you shamed me into it --

alan


heh heh... ok, Now I am ashamed and must admit something...

I admit that the only reason I didn't cheat is because

I'm not smart enough
to cheat effectively enough

to make it an acceptable strategy for me;
if time is a factor for consideration... :wink:

Of course, if I was only smart enough to figure out
how to cheat adequately in this damn game;
I wouldn't need to cheat.

Crikey Jeez.

Catch-22s follow me around like stray cats.


:wink:

P.S.

There IS a solution for this, isn't there?

Coll. sells Pewaukee Birdy

Yup.

I'll give you a hint ... The answer will tell you what kind of birdy it was that the coll. sold.

Eve

Alan, I am invoking my magical moderating powers and declaring you the winner - PLEASE tell what birdy the Coll. sold before we all go demented. :)
And because you were so mean to post this impossible anagram I am posting the next one - it will be the only chance I get because I cannot do them and no one will tell me how to cheat properly.

So I shall make it easy peasy...

Coll. sells Pewaukee Birdy (and just to be clear, Pewaukee is a suburb of Milwaukee, Wis. which is the home of Marquette University)

Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker

Edible Stew is easy. But only if you know how to spell wildebeest.

Very ingenious! Now I can spend a peaceful morning without
having to wrack my brain identifying a scrambled bird.

Would you approve of setting a different category each week, e.g.
fish, mammals, reptiles, etc? This could start on Mondays and be
chosen by the last person to post after 10 p.m. EST. The current
riddle at the time needs to solved first.

Possibly Conan Doyle's "...Giant Rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared"?

Does anyone remember the Firesign Theatre's Sherlock Holmes spoof of that name. Or better yet -- does anyone have it digitized and uploadable so I can steal it?
