1. Oh my….. Hmmmm. I think I will be needing some clues for this one. Having a somewhat twisted mind, reading our email gave me some hope that I would get it. Short lived hope as it turned out. See you tomorrow. 🙂
   .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 12 =-.

   1. Alice — Linda’s mind is so twisted she didn’t need clues!

2. Hmmm, maybe just a wacky guess then? Better than nothing I guess?
   .-= Jientje´s last blog ..Macro Monday and a Recipe =-.

   1. Jientje — don’t tell anybody but the wacky guesses are often my favorites!

3. Uh?
   I was so looking forward to this. I am stumpied. Stymied. Totally bewildered.
   Maybe a wacky wild then.
   Again. 🙂
   .-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.

   1. Thumbelina — you do wacky & wild well!

      1. Thank you 🙂
         *bows*
         .-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.

4. Oh that is just cheating.

   1. Mumma — I take it that means you have no clue!

5. Holy mother of God.

   ?????

   At first I thought it would be Shel’s ‘Where the Sidewalk Ends’ but that doesn’t account for the letters does it?

   Sigh.
   ‘K, back to head-scratching…
   .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Ok, I don’t know who they are either. BUT…. =-.

   1. Susan — a nice dandruff shampoo might help …. 😉

      1. LOL Yeah, and it was more like head-banging anyhow. I was stumped. This was *excellent* and I never even noticed the missing letters.

         GO Linda! I’m impressed.

         The big trouble with these bloody things is wanting another go as soon as it’s over, and it’s a long way ’til next Monday. LOL

6. If it were a phrase, I’d have some whacky guesses. But I haven’t come up with a noun or adjective so far.

   What’s killing me is that I think I have seen this photo or one very much like it before, and I didn’t “get” it til I saw the answer, but I can’t think what it was…
   .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..A trip down memory lane… =-.

   1. Me too Barbara! Me too!
      .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

   2. Barbara — the photo is mine. I posted it in a photo challenge. The alphabet came from Amoeba. The idea is original. Don’t waste time on Google!

7. i woke up late!
   nooooo!
   someone may have beat me!
   oh the shame, the shame…

   1. Tilden? Do you REALLY know this??? It must be a family thing!
      .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

   2. Tilden — late & wrong. Oh my.

8. Well I tried. I really did.
   .-= Dr. John´s last blog ..Bree =-.

   1. Dr. John — it was really, really hard.

9. Oh I have to sweep out the cobwebs.
   .-= bettygram´s last blog ..Confirmaton =-.

   1. Betty — you came pretty close. At least you were on the right track!

10. Not being in eastern time zone sometimes really stinks. 🙂

    Will there be a new song?
    .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Monday Miscellany =-.

    1. Song? How’s this:

       And your time zone didn’t matter with this one. As I said, a twisted mind thought it up and only a twisted mind could solve it! Congrats, Twisted Sister!

       Speaking of which — do you want to be on the Punny Monday mailing list? I just send a Sunday night reminder email to everybody who requests inclusion.

       1. Woohoo!!!!

          The new song was kind of a hint, because of the “No L” joke you see around Christmas.

          Now I have a new twist to my talent of being able to say the alphabet backwards in less than 5 seconds! (Really! I learned it when I was a kid. And I won a book for doing it – not that fast – at a library party once in elementary school!)

          I’d love to be on the Punny Monday mailing list! Although I was champing at the bit last night – hence my going to find my own “tokien in my sleep” addition to my post!

          And twisted? I resemble that remark!!
          .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Monday Miscellany =-.

11. Working on the house first and checking blogs later do not give me a good chance here… but at least I tried!
    .-= kcinnova´s last blog ..Another busy weekend for Ella [sept 13] =-.

    1. Karen — and haven’t we always been told that playing the game is more important than winning?

12. Just ONE word? Oy vey!
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

    1. One. 😉

13. Baffled. Just not getting it. Sigh. And now I’m distracted by plumbers so unless inspiration strikes, no guess from me today.
    .-= Raven´s last blog ..Saturday Wordzzle Challenge: Week 80 =-.

    1. Raven — you should have drug the plumbers to the comp and had them guess, too!

14. This bugged me all day…
    C’mon, Quilly, we’re waiting! LOL
    I came up with a bunch of phrases it could be but no single word. I have a feeling they’ll be some forehead-slapping when you post the answer.
    .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Birdwatching the Cavan Way =-.

    1. I think it’s good you don’t have my phone number. You’d be calling me in the middle of my night for answers!

       1. You live in my *favourite* time zone. All I have to do is swap out the pm/am and I know what time it is for you within an hour. LOL Now calling my daughter on the other hand… I just forget sometimes and d’oh!
          .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Birdwatching the Cavan Way =-.

15. Crikey O’Reilly I haven’t the foggiest idea! :0
    .-= Akelamalu´s last blog ..Great Imagination Competition #3 voting day … =-.

    1. Akelamalu — actually, it’s O’Ceallaigh …. 😉

16. I sent a wild guess.
    Barbara and Melli – Quilly used this photo in a photo challenge I think.
    .-= Carletta´s last blog ..The Rudbeckia and the Green Bee =-.

    1. Oh, I knew that… I recognize the photo… I just can’t figure out the picture and the letters add up!
       .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

       1. Melli — you just aren’t BACKWARDS enough.

          1. Nah… I tried making the YR connection too — it just wasn’t coming! This was a GOOD one!
             .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

             1. Where you thinking, “Why are”? That’s where my mind went when Amoeba told me I had them backward.

    2. Thanks Carletta. I found it after seeing your comment. But it had me going in a different direction. But it helped solve the mystery of where I had seen it before! Thanks again.
       .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..A trip down memory lane… =-.

       1. Barbara — this one was hard. Maybe people will stop asking me to let Amoeba do them!

    3. Carletta — yep, I had used the photo previously.

17. Well here it is 7:40 am and I see this abstract house that is just down the street from me and letters on it…and i have no clue
    .-= Thom´s last blog ..What Beatles Song Are You? =-.

    1. I think we’re all stumped on this one Thom! If it were more than one word I would have at least half a dozen guesses… but just ONE word has got me completely at a loss!
       .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

    2. Thom — well, you could walk down and ask the neighbors why I keep taking pictures of their house and posting them on the internet ….

       1. I do not for the life of me see the answer in this one. Yes the fence has no wire, but what is up with the backwards alphabet? pffft…ABSTRACT
          .-= Thom´s last blog ..The Horns Test, A Video and Some Jokes =-.

          1. Thom, you aren’t very detail oriented, are you? Look at the alphabet. There is no Y and no R. It is Y R Less! [rolls eyes]

             1. ABSTRACT
                .-= Thom´s last blog ..The Horns Test, A Video and Some Jokes =-.

18. Wow, Linda, I’m impressed!! I caught that the Y and R were missing but spent too much time trying to connect missing letters and missing fence parts, yet missed the answer.(Smacks head.) (Mine, not Linda’s.)
    .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..A trip down memory lane… =-.

    1. Barbara — the photo was intended as a hint, but I knew it might work as confusion.

19. Congrats Linda.
    I never would have got that in a million, zillion, trillion, squillion years.
    Never.

    And it seems I am promoted to Tinkerbell! Sleepy Quilly! lol :0)
    .-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.

    1. Thumbelina — I don’t think I would have either. Like Melli I was stuck on RY and Amoeba had to tell me to turn them around.

20. Waving hello and wishing I could see the picture…I guess my pc has been off too long 🙂
    I am baaaack, I will try my best to post something in 12 hours.
    Cheers!
    .-= Mar´s last blog ..end of season =-.

21. Mar — I’m glad you’re home and I’m sorry the photo isn’t loading.

22. That was a good one, Quilly! The whole photo a red herring.
    .-= Doug´s last blog ..Rice =-.

    1. Okay, Doug, it’s a little fishy, but it’s not really a red herring. There is no wire in the wire fence, so it is definitely wireless.

23. i am shamed
    shamed and stunned
    that i did not read the directions
    one word!
    i missed that part completely

    1. Tilden — hmmm, I should think you would just feel normal. I get lots of “wish I’d read the directions” after the fact!

    2. Yeah me neither LOL I guess I read it but well, it didn’t sink in?
       .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Birdwatching the Cavan Way =-.

24. WOW!! Linda is GOOD!!

    1. Debbie — isn’t she, though?

25. Well CONGRATULATIONS to Linda!~ Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll done!!! You’re AMAZING!
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.

    1. Melli — yes. I am in awe. She may be too smart for us all!

26. Waaaaaaay late to the party, but had to say that one was very cleaver!
    .-= Jeff B´s last blog ..Relaxing at the Coast =-.

    1. Jeff — you’re always welcome at the party, no matter when you show up!
