And the Archer shoots the lights out, although I hope he isn't running naked up the street shouting "Eureka!!" Kind of dastarly of me to hide in plain sight like that, no?

The little tot = Kid
Slept = Napped
Ergo = Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson!

Tell me, was it my use of "tae" for "two" that tipped you off finally?

For finally ending the set, the dancin' dudes!

Indeed, as Spock might say. My bad it seems. It's only connection to time is the effect it would have if time somehow got out of balance, thus the title of the book I mentioned. Sorry. I shall be more careful in the future. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/aliens/abduct.gif

No, clothed and sitting at home.

And THAT'S why I'm the World's Greatest Archer!!

No need for a double post. I always go back an recheck to be sure I didn't miss anyone since I overlooked Basil one time! :blush: I also have to update the list as people figure out the clues, but you're still shooting very well since your unfortunate transformation into a "rubber ducky"?!http://www.smileyville.net/mellow/mf_crackegg.gif

To paraphrase a certain former-amphibian...

"She turned me into a rubber ducky!!

...I got better."

"If a man don't go his own way, he's nothing."

Hint: the quote is from a novel about military life written by an American author.

Hint-hint: Set in Hawaii in 1941.

I'm thinking from here to eternity with hints like that, James Jones. I liked the Thin Red Line better. Am I write?

No, but you're correct. Never read the Thin Red Line. Wasn't it about the battle of Guadalcanal?

I can't remember the island, but that sounds right. Jones wrote similar to Mailer (one of my favorites) only just a touch more vivid. OK, I'll try Herman Wouk, Winds of War? Reading A Big Hole in Texas at the moment.

Number 7 isn't "Cry Wolf," is it?

No, and I think a word of explaination is due here. When I use the term "Sounds Like" think of the game "Charades" or any other game of that type. In other words, the "Sounds Like" has nothing to do with the answer except that the answer sounds like the clue given. So on #7 the answer "Sounds like" you might be a large member of the canine family. Therefore figure out what THAT means, say it out loud, and the answer "sounds like" what you will say. I hope that helps. I didn't mean to be so unclear. Night figured out what it meant, but misunderstood me when I said, it "sounds like" that. :goof: http://www.smileyville.net/hamster/paperbag3.gif

6. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen?

Good show, that! I told y'all this one would be harder.... :brow: :nod: :nod:

#9 is correct! Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

#7 is a good guess, but wrong. You have the "Wolf" right but are missing the rest of the clue.

Is #11- Rebecca

How about Conrad's Heart of Darkness for #3?

Welcome to the forum, mate! WINNER! I wanted to use Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart, except it actually has the word "Heart" in it!

Nanners for Snukes: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Good show for the newbuie!

FINAL THREE MAJOR HINT TIME!

#4 Counterclockwise-- OK what is another word for this in, say, Old English?

#7 Sounds like you might be a large member of the canine family.
OK. We've established that is a wolf.
Now I said "Sounds Like" has nothing to do with the clue, it means the clue "sounds similiar to" you might be a wolf. Say that aloud and see if the title of an old epic poem, legend, whatever, book length, doesn't come out of it. Remember, SAY IT ALOUD! = Beowulf listed as anonyamous

#13 What are the Orcs called when first mentioned in the Hobbit? And what is a costermonger? Where would you find one? Put it all together. That is, what an orc was originally called and where would you find a costermonger?

And MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU.....http://www.smileyville.net/aiwan/pardon.gif

This was supposed to already post but somehow it didn't. Sorry! :blush:

Great work Sam!

#7. Beowulf

BULLSEYE! Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

See, 'sounds like' you might be a large member of the canine family or
'sounds like' you might BE A WOLF

Ergo: Beowulf listed as anonyamous

Two to go! ;) :brow: :brow: :nod:

Orc Costermongers - it probably isn't right, , but Goblin Reservation by Simak?

Ah, no. Goblin yes, Reservation no.

OK In the interests of moving this thread along a little, let me state that #13 has been correctly answered by RovinHood3000 in a PM.

The Orcs = Goblin
Turn Costermonger = a person who sells fruit or vegetables from a cart at a market

Ergo: =The Goblin Market by Christina Rossitti.

Nanners for the Archer: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I felt sure someone would get #4 , but they haven't, so I'll give it to you.
