Quote Oh, I loooooove a challenging drive-by ;-))


So what do you consider a challenging drive-by Mama Fox? Is it one where the only place to park is with your back wheels on peat bog after 4 days of rain?

Or is it when you can park easily, but the letterbox is out of reach of the fishing net when you poke it out of your window?

I think both of those definately qualify! Sounds like you are speaking from personal experience ;-))

Here in NC, though we are having a drought - so I'm afraid I won't be challenged in these ways anytime soon...... However, for the future, how long of a fishing net do you recommend - I might get one to keep in my car, just in case ;-))

*** Okay, he isn't right -- he did marry me after all. ***per momma wolf...

When my mom married my dad, she said he was just hanging around her apt and wouldn't leave...so her and her roommate played cards and the loser had to marry him to get him to leave...or so the story goes...

When KoTL04 married me...same scenario, only she was playing solitaire...Hmmmm

Be Safe...

Hey Dix,

Good to have you back on the boards. Five Secrets is waiting to hear from the people who were selected about final clues and stamps. The entries were remarkable. Glad I'm not solving this thing! Mama Wolf has already self proclaimed first rights for her arduous trip to the OBX on Thanksgiving. Thinks that Ellbee, Scout, and she will ripping that thing apart in a matter of hours. Then, she's alledged that she will drop it off with someone (specifically named) on the way back to homeplate.

"X" thinks she's been nipping at the orange potion again...*eyes rolling*

Don't worry about not getting something in for Five Secrets...other opportunities await in my gift basket.

Is there a time limit?


Maybe not normally, but since we all don't live near each other, we really only have the day. Of course if a few more join us at the mini-meet we may have better odds of cracking into it.

That will be a VERY long day! I would be shocked if it could be done.

I can hear Mama Wolf's tools clanking from here ;)

But she has been tossing out the "bolt cutter" idea. That would solve the box literally in seconds. She wouldn't dare...unless she became crazed by the clues of others...unpredicatable, that one can be.

I myself favor the chainsaw approach... ;->

I knew you were a smart one! Yep, we may be able to get into that box in one day after all!

Post them, e-mail them. Pretty simple really. :)

I'm often off every other Friday, but even when I'm at work, doesn't mean I'm not on AQ. Can't let something like work interfere with that, you know!

The idea is to leave the box capable of torturing others. You guys have no appreciation for fine workmanship.

It's the Eidolon method of letterboxing. Oh, wait... He only uses the bolt cutters on gates.

Don't worry, I'll replace the locks with new ones for you. I'll probably even set it at the correct combinations afterwards. *grin*

Well, I guess that will be a problem for you when I'm putting things back together. ;)

We can stay up all night as far as I am concerned!!!


Nah, we don't have to do that. We only have to stay up longer than X. As soon as his eyes close...
