Posted on Sun Feb 03, 2008 07:30 PM |

If you figure out the top 3 you should get the rest without knowing the map....the plant is often used in landscaping

can you hear Michigan in butt question is not right.... I was sure I had the answer too. Checked different spellings and grammer and everything

what in the world is that plant.... I've looked everywhere but it's not in my yard or my neighbors

For those having trouble: YOU MUST INCLUDE THE PUNCTUATION IN THIS ONE!

I'll include the punctuation.... just tell me all the words and where the punctuation goes....

the back clue through me off for a bit...

31

Posted on Sun Feb 03, 2008 08:15 PM |

I loved playing with the plant's berries** when I was child, and of course, it's one of the great Celtic trees. :-)

**Salt: They're actually not berries, they're fully mature cones and they're not poisonous, though the rest of the tree is. Our parents had *grave* concerns about the tree.

(47) I can't believe you don't. Are you telling me you have never seen anything like it? You must live somewhere were you don't have a lot of trees, or else you don't go out much. Or maybe you know, you are more the sort of person who doesn't pay attention to the things around you.

[48] I've never seen that tree or heard of a tree whose name sounds like what it appears to sound like based on the need it fills in the answer. It looks like a fern to me.

Big Bird has nothing to do with the picture he's in . . . thought I was really clever for pegging that word as "burden" (bird-n) -- but it's not.

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 09:17 AM |

The plant is a shrub, not a tree. I have seen them a hundred times and never new what they were called. Yoou will find it on wiki

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:28 AM |

Wow. This took me forever. And I think it is a tree; I have read that bows (as in bow and arrow) used to be made from this kind of wood back in the day. It would be tough to obtain a piece of wood long enough to make a bow out of a shrub.

62

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:26 AM |

[61] The last picture is more what the guy would say

For the first on the row check out [2] that would have been more appropriate...

(50,51,54) YOU aren't very good at recognizing salt, are YOU? If YOU were, YOU might have understood the comment YOU just read. *cough cough*

66

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 01:52 PM |

Duplicate!

67

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 02:03 PM |

By the way, I *promise* that the branch shown is a tree, though it's often seen as a hedge. They grow up to 10-20 m (exceptionally up to 28 m) tall, with a trunk up to 2 m (exceptionally 4 m) diameter. In the US, it's often seen as a decorative hedge, but in other parts of the world, it has very grave uses. (Again with the salt!)

As someone else mentioned, the branch's tree is also the archetypal wood of the English Longbow. This tree won Agincourt, people!

ok I am not going to get this done prior to class tonight, I know the first and the second and fifth, not sure about the third fourth or last.

First: easy
Second: Actually know it
Third: not sure iffen I am needing both words or only the second one.
fourth: Ummm pizza?
Fifth: this plea for help was brought to you by the numbers 18 and 1, the words my and team and LOST and the letter....
sixth: was this what I screamed at the end of the game when my team lost, cause I didnt think you put those swear words up here.

70

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 03:22 PM |

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 05:15 PM |

[62] - thanks leadfoot, that did it for me. I thought for sure it was the body part that was important, not what the guy was saying. I thought the answer was what someone might say before giving a speech to find out if everyone could hear what they were saying.

I think I prefer Michigan to Maine here, since trying to use "main" might throw more people off. Plus, if you think in terms of songs from "The Sound of Music," then it works just fine.

76

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 06:40 PM |

74: Interesting way of thinking of it, but Maine is much better. You only need to use english, as opposed to a Sound-of-Music-izer.

Had the first 2, and knew what a couple others meant, but couldn't put it together quickly - I was in a bad state from this one.

77

taznjazz

Posted on Mon Feb 04, 2008 06:43 PM |

I definitely think Maine works better than Michigan.

(69) Third, forget religion; Fourth, be a little possesive in spanish; Sixth, no, but if you were the guy in the picture, this would be what you screamed just before you screamed -that-.

And if this is too salty, I don't give a -that-! I like salt dammit!
