@dis_member But they both have 8 letters with an "e" in the exact same spot. You say you know what the first instance is but there are two other possibilities:
1. You really know the 5th word but not the 2nd. 2. You know both words because they are the same word.
@jose602 Nope. My legal name is Elizabeth (and I went by MsElizabeth when I taught birth-5) and everyone outside of the professional world calls me Lizard. (Or Dread Pirate Robyn/DPR if I am at roller derby.)
@jose602 Thank you for reminding me.. I have to look her up --- my cub scouts said I sound/look like her when I say "excuse me??" -- I am hoping it is a kind comparison!
Sorry y'all, I had to fly to San Francisco yesterday morning to present at a conference. I briefly considered not starting Hangmehn until after I got back but then I realized this would be way funnier to watch. Thanks for giving me a laugh during the poster session!
Aaaaand I'm back! BTW never ever do a red-eye cross-country flight on United Airlines unless you want to be forced to watched random episodes of Pawn Stars all night.
Those of you commentating, I'm really more of a science person, so you're gonna have to bear with me as I play this as methodically and painfully as possible.
@hollboll@dashcloud Awesome × 2. A programming magazine I worked for actually ran CueCat-readable listings so readers wouldn't have to type in code. I wish I still had mine just for desk decor but I'm always happy to see them turn up.
Did I forget something? I thought this was meh.com, not some other daily deal website with a highly excitable name invoking a flurry of activity. Does Matt Rutledge know that all of you are hyped up about this??
Fine, @hollboll. I guess A. As in accept that this game is going to last until April.
Hey, @JonT - Why don't you start a new hangman that everyone can play? Oh, wait - maybe you can just take the fifth guess for each turn or something. Perhaps not such a good idea. I'll get back to you . . .
WTF is that a paragraph?
Are we allowed help? I think I know 1st, 2nd and 4th words..
@mikibell Noooo! It's MY puzzle! Get yer own!
@chillface drats...foiled again :)
@chillface @mikibell I feel pretty confident about the second word! (but I won't spoil your fun)
@dis_member Then do you think the 2nd and 5th word are the same word?
@cengland0 I'm leaving the possibility for a rhyme on the 5th word =)
@dis_member But they both have 8 letters with an "e" in the exact same spot. You say you know what the first instance is but there are two other possibilities:
1. You really know the 5th word but not the 2nd.
2. You know both words because they are the same word.
@cengland0 That's why I said "pretty confident" not "absolutely sure" =)
That said, your logic is undeniably true!
@dis_member yup, think I got that too :) but not my puzzle. This should be fun to watch though!!! Good luck, Chillface (with the utmost in sincerity!)
Love this game!
It says "Cheer up, suckers."
I'd like to buy a vowel Pat. "A"
Hope you remember it @hollboll!
@chillface Off to a solid start.
This may be the slowest round of hangman ever.
@MsELizardBeth Slowest? Or longest lasting round? (Btw, is your username a wrestling reference?)
@jose602 Nope. My legal name is Elizabeth (and I went by MsElizabeth when I taught birth-5) and everyone outside of the professional world calls me Lizard. (Or Dread Pirate Robyn/DPR if I am at roller derby.)
@jose602 Thank you for reminding me.. I have to look her up --- my cub scouts said I sound/look like her when I say "excuse me??" -- I am hoping it is a kind comparison!
Did @chillface forget how to play hangman?
@dis_member I keep checking back, but not yet. @chillface,
@hollboll Teaches us to be considerate and let him play his game =P
@chillface COME BACK!!!
Sorry y'all, I had to fly to San Francisco yesterday morning to present at a conference. I briefly considered not starting Hangmehn until after I got back but then I realized this would be way funnier to watch. Thanks for giving me a laugh during the poster session!
@chillface don't leave us hanging!!
@chillface aw come on
@Ignorant I see what you did there
Aaaaand I'm back! BTW never ever do a red-eye cross-country flight on United Airlines unless you want to be forced to watched random episodes of Pawn Stars all night.
Ok @hollboll, I suppose I will try...
@chillface Yikes. Glad you made it.
@hollboll word 4 is not what I thought it was. Wow this is hard to watch and not scream out suggestions.
@Pamtha Agreed. Words 2 and 5 are now obvious, so the rest should fall into place pretty quickly.
@Cinoclav
@Pamtha - I know! Pretty sure I have 2 and 4, and Word 4 is either _ _ _ or _ _ _.
@hollboll Kinda surprised the Tums bottle isn't closer to being 1/2 empty!
@mikibell what are you implying?
@hollboll That you have the patience of a saint!
@hollboll I bet this photo is a clue?
@hollboll my next guess is
Those of you commentating, I'm really more of a science person, so you're gonna have to bear with me as I play this as methodically and painfully as possible.
@chillface Only 1!
@hollboll CueCat! Awesome.
@editorkid It's from @dashcloud! https://meh.com/forum/topics/someone-sent-mediocre-a-fukubukuro
@hollboll @dashcloud Awesome × 2. A programming magazine I worked for actually ran CueCat-readable listings so readers wouldn't have to type in code. I wish I still had mine just for desk decor but I'm always happy to see them turn up.
@hollboll Yay my CueCat!
@dashcloud I'm keeping it company!
@chillface
@editorkid Which one was it? It's probably available on the Internet Archive now.
@dashcloud Not on the Archive -- my old boss (well, grandboss) is making a pretty decent retirement income selling back issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibble_(magazine)
@editorkid That's pretty awesome that it's still being sold.
@chillface come on man, this is bullshit. Hurry up...
You're going to guess L and N next
@hollboll please accept this as a guess
@Kevin I think @chiliface ran out of Lego mini figures to pose with his guesses.
@Kevin Throw an "R" in there as well. Go full on Wheel of Fortune.. RSTLNE
@chillface @hollboll Ugh! Come on already!!
@Ignorant @kevin @kadgan @bingo I think we learned here is that we just need to keep tagging @chillface in things until he guesses.
Watching purple paint dry is much more exciting than this.
@Barney I high five ya on that!
@Barney At least with paint drying you have fun fumes to inhale
@Barney
@editorkid Aww, purple.
@Barney I despise purple.
Did I forget something? I thought this was meh.com, not some other daily deal website with a highly excitable name invoking a flurry of activity. Does Matt Rutledge know that all of you are hyped up about this??
Fine, @hollboll. I guess A. As in accept that this game is going to last until April.
@chillface Baaaaaa! (head butt)
@chillface only 1!
@chillface making a strong case for March goat
@chillface this deserves all the stars
@chillface
Hey, @JonT - Why don't you start a new hangman that everyone can play? Oh, wait - maybe you can just take the fifth guess for each turn or something. Perhaps not such a good idea. I'll get back to you . . .
@KDemo We could all start playing the collaborative hangman game at snoot.org. Only allows one word, though.
@hollboll My next guess: i.
@chillface
@hollboll R
@chillface
@hollboll L
@chillface
@hollboll B
@chillface
@hollboll G
@chillface
@hollboll N
@chillface
@hollboll K
@chillface
@hollboll I'm loving the toy collection. But I'm not loving that random 'r'!
@hollboll O
@hollboll is really slacking here today
@Bingo in her defense, she's pretty busy answering 80 bagillion emails...if people would stop sending those in she could play more hangman.
@JonT Easy solution - stop answering emails. I mean, you never wanted to send any to begin with. Why should you have to answer them too?
@Bingo Oh leave her alone, I've taken multiple days between guesses...
First three words are "Clipping Terrible Faces"
someone else figure out the rest...
http://www.hanginghyena.com/hangmansolver
Hey @hollboll - are you sure you didn't miss a guessed letter in the 4th word (3rd row, 1st word)
@Bingo erm, no... whatchutalkinbout.
@hollboll lol and now I think you missed one in the 3rd word. Get your Hangmehn act together,!
@Bingo Lol - Yes, that 3rd letter needs to be filled in.
I would just like to say that phrase isn't always true. I rather enjoyed the drink I made here:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/drinking-terrible-with-meh-the-bop-on-the-nog-gin#549bb5aa63ff9e7c0255dd9b
@hollboll Aw hell, I'll just go ahead and guess: Drinking terrible makes for terrible drinking.
@chillface Was just going to do that m'self. This.
@chillface Congrats!
@chillface
@JonT So... I win anything?
@chillface bragging rights.
@chillface what, the vast entertainment of the game itself wasn't enough for you?
@chillface
@chillface that was it! Sorry, I've been buried under a pile of emails since we announced the sock thing.
@JonT I'm not really what you'd call a "journey is its own reward" kind of girl...
@chillface
@JonT That's what I get for having expectations...
