I think I can a state with impunity that it ain't those dreadlocks. ;)

You're just upset because I correctly and without outside help of any
kind, guessed the answer to last weeks Wheel of Misfortune game.

You have been totally puzzled on a great many things recently. :-)
I wonder how your peers will do with the very same puzzle which I
gave you? See below.

Ref: Can you top that????   No, but you just did. Does the
term "chatterbox" mean anything to you? :-)

And no interrogation of any kind took place. Here's what happened gang.
Having been hell bent :) on figuring out the answers to Tim's weekly
lyrics, and after finally guessing last weeks answer correctly; albiet
it wouldn't have happened without the help of all the block letters,
I decided to pull a fast one on good ole sTUMpy and give him an
answer to this weeks puzzle right away, before the block letters
went up. I wanted to do this because I knew it would just drive him
nuts, and it did. :) You see, he does know me somewhat. It is
true that I'm not into modern music as much as many of you. So I knew this
would give him a "spliting" headache. :-)

Anyways, after allowing him to suffer for a whole day on that, plus
on a puzzle of my own which I gave him via e-mail, I called his
home Tuesday night to let him off the hook. I have not been pulling
"shenanigans" all this time, and Salem's not so finest did not drag
me down to the "pokey" :-) for an intense session of interrogation
with the "Playdoh man".

>Ahhh...now all is clear.  What a cheater.  Cheater cheater pumpkin
>eater!

Tim's a liar liar pants on fire. :-)  Oh and Joanna...much like
Bartles (sp?) and James, I thank you for your support. :)

Here now is the puzzle I gave Tim. I told Tim...

"The most dreaded day in the history of my being begins on the 13th."

And then I gave him these clues:

"If I'm a good judge of character, you won't let this happen to me."
"It goes against my conviction."
"There are two words in the above two sentences which will help
 you enormously."

 ____ ____


The next day I gave him one more clue and called in Vanna :), but
he still couldn't figure it out. It turns out that while he was on the
phone later that day with two of you netters, he had to ask for help.
Talk about cheaters! :-) One of the netters already knew the answer
because I had already told her, the other figured it out right away.

Sooooooo...if anyone who wishes to work on the puzzle, send me e-mail with
your guess or just post it on the net; tomorrow at this time I'll add the
remaining clue and the two letters, assuming Vanna won't mind departing
with them a second time.

As for Tim's comment about giving out my address and phone number :-),
I know of a certain ftp address you might be interested in when you call.
:-) :-) :-)

Bye bye-ee

The -N- All Man ... as silly as u want me to be. ;)
