A Smug Peanut's Day

[Maximilianus]

That could be pretty much anything, mrv http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/dntknw.gif You are supposed to give one clue, along with the anagrammed phrase, or there's no chance for anyone to guess it http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

Oh, mrv! We are hearing the clue! http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_lets_hear_it.gif

[mrv]

A hint...
The guy who had desired everything but had enjoyed nothing.

[katelbach]

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! I GIVE UP!

Please put me out of my misery.

[mrv]

Come on! The hint is as good as giving away the name. ;)

[Jazz_]

I still can't get it... :(

[Maximilianus]

Neither can I http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/dntknw.gif but my smilies keep thinking http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

:lol:

[katelbach]

Is it the title of a novel or the name of an author?

[mrv]

I still can't get it... :(
That's because you are not listening to what I'm trying to say.

Your smilies are only good at pretending to think. Don't be fooled by them. ;)
Think for yourself. :p


Is it the title of a novel or the name of an author?

The clue was...
The guy who had desired everything but had enjoyed nothing.

Obviously, it is the name of a person- an author.

[katelbach]

The clue was...
The guy who had desired everything but had enjoyed nothing.

Obviously, it is the name of a person- an author.

I gathered it was a person's name but it wasn't obvious you meant the author. I thought that was a character/plot summary, which is why i was only thinking about novel titles! I'll have another think.

[katelbach]

Guy De Maupassant.

:ciappa:

[katelbach]

Nut oil teas (an unnecessary third?)

[Jazz_]

Ah, the guy - very clever :D
I was thinking of a character, and didn't pick up on the "guy" clue - which is why I failed :p

[Maximilianus]

Sorry to interrupt :angel: Though late, I want to say a few things just for the sake of talking to someone amid a lonely night :p


:lol:
Glad I made someone laugh :hurray:


Your smilies are only good at pretending to think. Don't be fooled by them. ;)
Think for yourself. :p
It must be so! :p



The clue was...
The guy who had desired everything but had enjoyed nothing.

That was really good! I can do nothing but applaud :hurray:

Now, let's go back to the game, with katelbach's challenge:

Nut oil teas (an unnecessary third?)

http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gif

[mrv]

Ah, the guy - very clever :D



That was really good! I can do nothing but applaud :hurray:

Guy De Maupassant.

:ciappa:

:rolleyes5: With the very first clue giving away the answer and a hint trying to tell that it was so, the emoticon you should have used is :blush2:



Nut oil teas (an unnecessary third?)

Maximilianus' smilies proved no good at figuring things out, let's see if my smiley is any good at it http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-think005.gif

[mrv]

No one else seems to be trying! I don't have a clue only I found another way of putting this anagram : I lost a tune :p

Can we ask for another clue?

[Maximilianus]

Maximilianus' smilies proved no good at figuring things out, let's see if my smiley is any good at it http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-think005.gif
Your smiley looks troubled as well :p


No one else seems to be trying! I don't have a clue only I found another way of putting this anagram : I lost a tune :p

Can we ask for another clue?
Since I've lost more tunes than just one :p I second the request for another tune... ahem... I mean... another clue :D

[katelbach]

I'll give you 2 as they're still tough (possibly):

Some say fourth rather than third.
A tunnel from zoo to under-river.

[mrv]

I have waited enough.

Is it a book or a movie or what?

[Jazz_]

Sorry, I have no idea - I think your clues confused me more...

[Maximilianus]

A third... a fourth... I'm guessing it's... a character from a novel, right? http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif If so, male or female? http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

[katelbach]

It's the title of a novel. 2 words.

[Scheherazade]

I'll give you 2 as they're still tough (possibly):

Some say fourth rather than third.
A tunnel from zoo to under-river.
It's the title of a novel. 2 words.Both of them?

[katelbach]

Both of what? And both of what what?!

The title of the novel contains two words, if that's what you're asking!(?)

[Maximilianus]

Just a humble summary to clarify:

Anagram: Nut oil teas
Clues:

An unnecessary third?
Some say fourth rather than third.
A tunnel from zoo to under-river.
It's a two-word novel title.

[Scheherazade]

Just a humble summary to clarify:

Anagram: Nut oil teas
Clues:

An unnecessary third?
Some say fourth rather than third.
A tunnel from zoo to under-river.
It's a two-word novel title.
Ah, it makes more sense now.

Thanks for clearing that up, Max :)

[Maximilianus]

Ah, it makes more sense now.

Thanks for clearing that up, Max :)
Anytime! http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gif

[katelbach]

First published 1959. Come on, i want to solve one! :)

[mrv]

Titus Alone.

Giving the year was as good as giving the name. It was just too easy now. I just await your confirmation and you'll get one to solve.

[katelbach]

You googled it cos you're WEAK!!!! It was getting tedious though, i admit. :)

Anagram please....

[mrv]

You googled it cos you're WEAK!!!! It was getting tedious though, i admit. :)
In what other way did you expect giving out the year it was published would help? I googled because I knew you wanted us to and end the 'tediousness' as you correctly admit.



Anagram please....

Of course!

Mede trod on froth
(from the concentration camp...)

[mrv]

Who's WEAK now? :D

I'll give you some clues.

It is the name of a novel which was published again with a different name and was adapted into a movie of that same name.

[mrv]

No one is trying so I'll just give the answer- 'North to Freedom'

[katelbach]

Sorry mrv, i've been woefully absent from the forums these past few weeks. I've taken up archery and it has diverted my attentions for a while. All my attentions!

That said, i'd never heard of the novel, nor the author, so would never have gotted it! If you give us another i'll have a crack. Also, here is a hatted character: :hat:

[mrv]

:hat: is cute but this thread needs a http://www.indiachatforum.net/images/smilies/1/bump.gif

[Jazz_]

Hen Liftoff Enigma

[Maximilianus]

It could be pretty much anything http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif Remember to provide a clue, katel http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_lets_hear_it.gif

[katelbach]

Sorry dear. It's a book not an author btw (think it's always best to state that as a pre-clue!)

Clue: Surprising etymology

[mrv]

mrv asked me to contribute, so i shall:

Hen Liftoff Enigma

Thank you. I'm working at it... :idea: :out:

[Maximilianus]

I'm already setting a few neurons on the matter. Look: http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/to_take_umbrage.gif

[mrv]

I can't make anything of this clue. :out:

[katelbach]

Ok then, i won't let this drag on for days and days like previous anagrams!

2nd (very obvious) clue: By an author you may be recently familiar with.

[mrv]

The Meaning of Liff

[katelbach]

Yay! Your turn.

[mrv]

Alright!

The Golden Gate

[mrv]

The Golden Gate

Correct.

Your turn :)

[Gerda13]

A Ask Jib Duo (A book character who suffered a beating because of her race)

[mrv]

Another clue might give me some idea. :yesnod:

[Gerda13]

Well, she is the character in series of four books about magic. She also suffered a beating because of her family's occupation. And that occupation was common in Mesopotamia and other countries that have many good things for _____

If I add any more clues, it'll give it all away. If you find the missing word, it'll give you a clue as to what was occupation of her family. Then, put the clues together and you'll have the name. :)

[mrv]

I am not into fantasy or magic literature so I still don't have a clue.

[Gerda13]

Well, then, I'll make the easier one

Verbals Rhyme (Horror book heroine; despises blood... and clowns:smilewinkgrin:)

You can give another one if you want to or I'll post one tomorrow.

[mrv]

It's OK - I can't think of one now! Never mind. You go.
