What noun or adjective (the word can be used either way) does this photo represent? EMAIL your answers and leave a comment designed to either help or confuse your fellow game players.
The first contestant to EMAIL me the right answer wins a featured link in my blog which will display until next Monday when we’ll play this little game again. Enjoy.
PLEASE, do not write your guess in the comments. It spoils the game for the other players. Your guesses will be shared when the game ends. Oh, and just because someone announces they’ve won, doesn’t mean that they have. Please keep guessing until I post the answers!
WINNER!

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 =-.
Alice — Linda’s mind is so twisted she didn’t need clues!
Hmmm, maybe just a wacky guess then? Better than nothing I guess?
.-= Jientje´s last blog ..Macro Monday and a Recipe =-.
Jientje — don’t tell anybody but the wacky guesses are often my favorites!
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. =-.
Thumbelina — you do wacky & wild well!
Thank you 🙂
*bows*
.-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.
Oh that is just cheating.
Mumma — I take it that means you have no clue!
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…. =-.
Susan — a nice dandruff shampoo might help …. 😉
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
.-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Birdwatching the Cavan Way =-.
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… =-.
Me too Barbara! Me too!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.
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!
i woke up late!
nooooo!
someone may have beat me!
oh the shame, the shame…
Tilden? Do you REALLY know this??? It must be a family thing!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.
Tilden — late & wrong. Oh my.
Well I tried. I really did.
.-= Dr. John´s last blog ..Bree =-.
Dr. John — it was really, really hard.
Oh I have to sweep out the cobwebs.
.-= bettygram´s last blog ..Confirmaton =-.
Betty — you came pretty close. At least you were on the right track!
Not being in eastern time zone sometimes really stinks. 🙂
Will there be a new song?
.-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Monday Miscellany =-.
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.
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 =-.
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] =-.
Karen — and haven’t we always been told that playing the game is more important than winning?
Just ONE word? Oy vey!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.
One. 😉
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 =-.
Raven — you should have drug the plumbers to the comp and had them guess, too!
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 =-.
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!
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 =-.
Crikey O’Reilly I haven’t the foggiest idea! :0
.-= Akelamalu´s last blog ..Great Imagination Competition #3 voting day … =-.
Akelamalu — actually, it’s O’Ceallaigh …. 😉
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 =-.
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! =-.
Melli — you just aren’t BACKWARDS enough.
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! =-.
Where you thinking, “Why are”? That’s where my mind went when Amoeba told me I had them backward.
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… =-.
Barbara — this one was hard. Maybe people will stop asking me to let Amoeba do them!
Carletta — yep, I had used the photo previously.
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? =-.
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! =-.
Thom — well, you could walk down and ask the neighbors why I keep taking pictures of their house and posting them on the internet ….
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 =-.
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]
ABSTRACT
.-= Thom´s last blog ..The Horns Test, A Video and Some Jokes =-.
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… =-.
Barbara — the photo was intended as a hint, but I knew it might work as confusion.
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. =-.
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.
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 =-.
Mar — I’m glad you’re home and I’m sorry the photo isn’t loading.
That was a good one, Quilly! The whole photo a red herring.
.-= Doug´s last blog ..Rice =-.
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.
i am shamed
shamed and stunned
that i did not read the directions
one word!
i missed that part completely
Tilden — hmmm, I should think you would just feel normal. I get lots of “wish I’d read the directions” after the fact!
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 =-.
WOW!! Linda is GOOD!!
Debbie — isn’t she, though?
Well CONGRATULATIONS to Linda!~ Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll done!!! You’re AMAZING!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..KRYSTI’s Birthday … NOT Derek’s! =-.
Melli — yes. I am in awe. She may be too smart for us all!
Waaaaaaay late to the party, but had to say that one was very cleaver!
.-= Jeff B´s last blog ..Relaxing at the Coast =-.
Jeff — you’re always welcome at the party, no matter when you show up!
