I havent’ got a clue, but when I see the answer later on today I am going to smack myself on the forehead and say Duh !!!!!!
Bill’s last blog post..It Felt As If Being In A Ghost Town
Duh!
(I don’t think it was really all that easy.)
Now I really know I am Brain Dead, It was so obvious if it was a snake it would have bit me.
Bill’s last blog post..It Felt As If Being In A Ghost Town
Hmmm…I can think of things involving one item or the other, but not both yet. This IS a hard one!!
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Honoring Mom
Barb — the hard ones are more fun, yes?
I will be joining Bill in the smacking of the head!!!! I am submitting a guess but I really have NO clue!
Jane’s last blog post..Memory Lane
You came close.
At least you tried Jane
Bill’s last blog post..It Felt As If Being In A Ghost Town
I have SO got an exploding head. It’s there. On the tip of my tongue… just can’t quite reach it.
You will hear a mass smacking of heads when you post the answer!
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Cherry Blossom – Today’s Flowers
You kept straining until you got it. Here’s a clue for future reference — it will always be a real word.
Yeah but the made up words go on the whacky list. ;0)
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Cherry Blossom – Today’s Flowers
Just as long as you know they’re made up … 😉
I don’t think I’m going to guess this one this week!! Can’t win them all huh?!
Jientje’s last blog post..Macro Monday, Hey Buttercup ….
No. And if you did guess them all, after three you’d be getting a letter telling you you’d been suspended for a week!
Don’t worry!
Jientje’s last blog post..Macro Monday, Hey Buttercup ….
Duh!!!
But OF COURSE!!
Jientje’s last blog post..Macro Monday, Hey Buttercup ….
That is such a heavy one I’ll sit it out.
Dr. John’s last blog post..Picture Words
Care for a cup of tea while you wait?
I guess this is not my cup of tea 8)
Mar’s last blog post..Butterflies are free to fly
LOL! Perfect answer.
ahhh… to tea or not to tea, that’s a weighty question. …
sauerkraut’s last blog post..Post No. 500 coming right up… then… should I cool it or should I blow?
Kitty — what part of don’t answer in the comments did you not understand? [shakes head] Cats can always be depended on to misbehave.
yeah, yeah but of course 😉 a cat will do what a cat will do, even if unintentional. was just trying to channel the bard.
sauerkraut’s last blog post..Post No. 500 coming right up… then… should I cool it or should I blow?
I figured you just didn’t read the directions.
Yup. This is a ponderous one.
Doug — that was a much better clue than Sauerkraut’s, though he might give a mew of protest.
Does it count if my husband helped me? The two do become one, you know. 😀
He got it right off the bat.
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Assorted Thoughts and 20 Favorite Things
Barbara — Amoeba and I usually make them together, so I see no reason you two can’t solve them together.
I think I got it right away! Woohooo!
Shelly’s last blog post..From Creepy to Tiki
You are much better at this than you think.
Pretty sure I got it this time but as always, I’m late out of the starting gate.
Raven’s last blog post..Shadow Shot Sunday
Well, you were early enough to make the post, just not early enough to win.
I have no clue
Thom’s last blog post..Musical Monday – What Moves You?
Perhaps a cup of tea will stimulate your brain?
Weighty? Weighty you say? PFFFT. Bogus…Oh now I see it a cup of tea on a scale…I still say PFFFT…and no tea wont stimulate anything as abstract as this weeks Punny Monday Ooops where are my manners…probably floating around in that cup of tea someplace. Congrats to the winners. Polona great job being first 🙂
Thom’s last blog post..Musical Monday – What Moves You?
Proof you’re a fox. You’re always griping about sour grapes. 😉
Sour is as sour does LOL
Thom’s last blog post..An Award And Other Odds And Ends
ARGH! My internet was down from last night until about 10 minutes ago! I think I’ve got this one! ALL OVER ME!
Melli’s last blog post..Sunday Sshhhtuff…. and a stolen meme
Melli — don’t you hate it when the net is down? Even if I get a trillion useful things done while waiting, I begrudge them all!
Awwwwww…. SHAME on SOMEbody here… I just saw that…. tsk tsk tsk….
Melli’s last blog post..Sunday Sshhhtuff…. and a stolen meme
Melli — I do believe he saw the picture and took a guess without reading the directions. Kitties are like that.
oh puffle … “the internet was down.”
No, really!
mmmeeow!
sauerkraut’s last blog post..Post No. 500 coming right up… then… should I cool it or should I blow?
I think Melli may have just met a kitty she wants to swat with a broom.
Very late, but I think I’ve got it.
Bazza’s last blog post..Foxy Foxy
You came in just under the wire. I was about to post the answers when I saw I had mail — you and my sister just squeaked in.
Ha!!
of course!!
XD
Mar’s last blog post..Butterflies are free to fly
Of course. Now that it’s obvious one sees that it couldn’t possibly be anything else! (Although I was rather fond of Thumbelina’s “Tea Total”.
Aww thank you! I was getting desperate at that stage, wanting FOR ONCE to get it right. So I was thinking I needed a drink and… (even though I knew it maybe didn’t count as an adjective but then again, neither did half my other answers! lol)
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Cherry Blossom – Today’s Flowers
Very late, am pretty sure I don’t have it!!! I keep forgeting to look, not that it makes any difference since I don’t get it anyway! Fun to check out though and I do enjoy reading the comments when I take the time. XOXOOXO C
Sis — You made it in a half-second before I posted the answer and you did have it!
I do agree the hard ones are fun — and they yield some pretty creative guesses, too!
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Assorted Thoughts and 20 Favorite Things
And the comments are almost always better than the post!
yay! whenever you say difficult, my two brain cells seem to put in some extra effort.
it’s the easy ones i’m concerned about – i never get those. pft
juliana’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
that was supposed to be me … oh what the heck! that’s what happens when you have multiple personalities
polona’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
Polona Juliana — don’t worry. Most of us know that the two of you are really one and we love each of you!
and i’m even too knackered to blog on either of them (that french is killing me)
juliana’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
So what made you decide you needed yet another language? And how many is that, now?
oh, i don’t know… i used to learn french in grammar school but became totally frustrated by the slow and difficult progress (it’s a terribly complicated language – to me at least). it remained a challenge, though, and when opportunity arose i signed in for a course. the progress is still slow and toilsome but at least i can now understand some basics. the whole thing is paid by my employer – which is great but it also means i have to show results. pft
well, i get along in serbia and croatia (we all used to be yugoslavia so that came pretty natural), and i’m fluent in english… and that’s about it.
i understand – but not speak – a few basic phrases in german and italian, though – but not nearly enough to claim passive knowledge
juliana’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
That is impressive. I know tourist French and German, and can understand German conversations (much better than trying to have a conversation) but your range of languages is impressive.
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Cherry Blossom – Today’s Flowers
And I can speak English — most days.
sometimes i’m not even sure i can speak slovene
juliana’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
why thank you very much, thumbelina 🙂
the problem is, i have a pretty good understanding of the written language but when it comes to speaking… oh well…
juliana’s last blog post..Dancing in the city
Amoeba thought that one was going to be HARD???
Melli’s last blog post..Totally UNprepared!
Thom agreed with him. Maybe it’s a man thing?
I was right in my email to you just now. ..not a clue what the pun was. And I’m not sure I put the link in the email that was on my clipboard. Not a good day for me at all. Here it is just in case…oh my.

AmberStar’s last blog post..A prayer from a child
Amber —
I answered you in email!
This week Betty only missed by six minutes. I have to get her up earlier. She has all the brains when it comes to these things.
Dr. John’s last blog post..Picture Words
Dr. John — you don’t have to get her up earlier — just don’t let her go to the bathroom or start the coffee or anything until after she’s answered!
At least this time i had an idea.
bettygram’s last blog post..Jeff’s Photo Story May
Betty — you had the right answer. And you’d best check out what your husband is plotting because you might soon be getting less sleep!
