General Discussion » Themed Puzzle Set for Tuesday, July 8
I'm gonna guess that Fox Mulder will like tomorrow's puzzles
[1] I think you may be right. Do you suppose Tanganites who live in New Mexico will have an advantage when it comes so solving them?
[1] oh no... I'm screwed. I never got into it... even when it peaked nearly a decade ago. I don't know how someone managed to get another film funded after all these years.
So, just because I was curious, I wanted to see if I could, in fact, search for tomorrow's theme. And in the process, I came across this:
Among other things, July is:
National Anti-Boredom Month
National Hot Dog Month
Nude Recreation Week
:)
Yeah, yeah, we know. But you said TOMORROW...and when you search for July 8th you also get:
1099 - First Crusade: 15,000 starving Christian soldiers march in religious procession around Jerusalem as its Muslim defenders look on.
1709 - Great Northern War: Battle of Poltava: Peter I of Russia defeats Charles XII of Sweden at Poltava thus effectively ending Sweden's role as a major power in Europe.
1874 - The Mounties begin their March West.
1898 - The shooting death of crime boss Soapy Smith releases Skagway, Alaska from his iron grip.
1980 - First Rugby League State of Origin match between the Queensland Maroons and New South Wales Blues played at Lang Park, Brisbane.
Anyone of which would make a GREAT theme night!
[6] strange how those all go together...
but the problem with 2 & 3 together is the grill.
June 8th is also:
World Ocean Day
Bounty Day
Would Bounty Day be the equivalent of "Talk Like a Pirate Day"'s half birthday? ;)
Speaking of Talk Like a Pirate Day...I'm already working on the puzzles!
(September 19th for those of ye who be livin' somewheres under a rock!)
[13] Arrgh! Even under MY rock, I be knowin' 'bout INTERNATIONAL Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
Be ye ready for the deviousness that I will be sendin' yer way?

[15] Will we be wantin' to make ye walk the plank?? (hey! this is kinda addicting! :-P)
hmmm.... doesn't look like the theme turned out to be any of those.... but I've only done the Cryptopix so far.
That was exhausting. Let's not do 10 puzzles at once again.
man... the four featured tore me up... I'm not even looking at the unfeatured tonight. At this point I would probably have enjoyed an X Files theme more. Was not really a fan of tonight's theme.... however, the puzzles themselves were solid.
[17] Aye, matey, ye will. And if ye be lookin' fer some fun in the meantime, you should be checkin' out this page (it be a English t' Pirate translator): http://talklikeapirate.com/translator.html
Or, ye can be translatin' an entire page o' Tanga with this one:
http://www.syddware.com/cgi-bin/pirate.pl
Just take this as fair warning, ye bunch o' bilge rats - ye'll be needin' to lay off the grog and solve smartly, or I'll be huntin' ye down like the scurvy dogs ye be!
[2]] ROFLMAO! Sounds like we're in for a fun night of puzzles--too bad we have to wait three months for it!
[22] It'll be takin' me that long to draw me treasure map and plot me escape!
Oh, that, and usin' me cutlass to convince that scalliwag Arrrrr-nott to go along with me plot!

[23] Be ye lookin' for a first-mate te help ye with these torturous puzzle ye be planning?
Posted on Wed Jul 09, 2008 08:10 AM |
[25] Well then, I be yer man...er, wench....er, the one ye wants!
PSA: To all of you worrying about what I might come up with, after the gratuitous anagramming challenge I have just one thing to say:
Be afraid, be very afraid.......mwahahahaha!
[27] FWIW, you aren't the only one planning for this day. A few others, in fact, have already beaten "ye" to the punch.
But, avast! You can never have too many pirate puzzles.
[28] Aye, matey, 'tis good to hear! Here's to hopin' we be have nothing but piratical puzzles for the entire day!

Hay, Gang,
