Oldies, I laughed so hard at that part! "Me-so-holy!" Baaahahahahaha.

If the sound you're looking for is "vel," post a picture of a veil. If the sound you're looking for is "vet," post a picture of an old man in a military uniform. Veil-vet. Getting "vel" from "velveeta" leads us to wonder whether you're thinking of "vel," "veet," "ta" or just the letter T. Similar sounding words are okay. A fraction of the word in the pic can be tricky. In hindsight, I wish I'd used a priest instead of a pre-school for my last clue. But you live and learn. As for "net" to get "vet," well, it's bad, but not unmanageable. It just starts to take the fun out of the picture hunt when better options exist. One of my favorite postings of my own was the ocean, a boxing match and a buoy. The movie was "What About Bob?" Get it? Water Bout Bob? Tee heee.... okay, not funny. But the idea is that we should look at the picture and try to figure out what word you're thinking of, not what syllable of what word. K? === Not that it's relevant, but I can't tell that the traffic light is green. That could have been "stop" as easily as "go." The traffic light idea, by the way, was clever.

Velvet Goldmine is indeed a movie. Can we stop it with the "Guess which syllable I'm thinking of" hints?

Oh, come now: Pre-school Zoom Dinner Cent How hard was that?

Hint: I'm kinda breaking my own rule with the first pic, just to show I'm not a total jerk about it. :)

That actually took me a few minutes. Rocks Anne Roxanne

You only disagree with me on 3 and 4? I only had a problem with 3 and 4. You didn't think 1 and 2 were clever? I thought they were.

We used to sing this while jogging indoors during gym class in high school.

We're not even getting full syllables from words anymore? Now we have to figure out which letters of the words you're looking at? "Bulldog" is only "Bu." Got it? bzzzt. Clever on 1 and 2.

Maybe, but google "I'm not the bad guy, kid." It doesn't come up for a single other movie. Not saying it's not IN any other movies, but it was repeated three times in this one.

Are we supposed to be able to tell what's in that first picture? Too small. I don't recognize a one of them.

Well, I thought it was easy. "Friend of yours?" "Actually, I've never seen him before."

Hard to explain, exactly, except that getting "ho" from a picture of Santa clause is clever, but getting "inn" from a picture of inverness is not. There's a difference between figuring out what someone is thinking and reading that person's mind. "Which syllable of this word am I looking at?" is not the idea of this game. Now, had the movie been "Holiday In Venice," the clue would have been absolutely brilliant. But there was no such film. Look at the third picture in your clue, with the Alka Seltzer. If the word you're looking for is "alka," or if "alka" is part of the word, cool. Same with seltzer. Same with antacid. But it's a bad clue if the only thing you're looking for is the flat "a" from the middle of the word "antacid." That's not clever. It's just obscure. But that's what happened with Inverness. General rule: If the clue points to part of the word (ho is part of holiday), then as long as it combines with the other parts, you're okay. But be very, very careful going in the other direction (part of the word for the clue forms the word you're looking for). It often does not work. Ho worked. Inn did not.

Sorry. Been real busy. Easy one: "I'm not the bad guy, kid."

bzzzt. Please avoid clues like that inverness one.

Is it Inverness?
