and Prejudice?

;) or maybe Extreme Prejudice...

darn it...that didn't work at all :(

#6 - Try this link for nice clear instructions from The Peebster: http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=35356

#5 Yup! I noticed that after I posted :)

With Dragons

ok, let's try this again...

I think you wanted Dragon or maybe

Dragon

Are record album covers acceptable?

Great stuff!

Of and Men

Anna and the of Siam

The Burger King is creepy-some of the first commercials he was in were of people awakening to find 'him' offering them something from the BK breakfast menu! If he was the first thing i saw in the morning i might just have a heart attack! 8^)

#15: Awww, look at the little micies! :)

A History of Time

Makes it sound rather more exciting, eh?

#17 - Agreed, I hate him. LOL

#18 - Bwaa haa haa! :o)

drat, it didn't work... I'll come back later - watch this space

EXCELLENT, MrsLee!!!

:) Thanks, but I must give credit to my husband. He says that's why he doesn't get on here, he wouldn't be able to stop.

That's so funny, Clam.

Hee Haw!!!!

Oh my god this whole thread is just terrible - I LOVE IT.

Ok, let's try again:

Darn, I don't know who he is.

Never heard of it.

each - represents one of the above pictures, it's an old book. What type of Monkey is that? And what's with the Star Wars picture? The bearded chap next to the monkey is carved from a tree... if that helps?

;-)

Hee hee. I looked up the monkey. Very cool.

Thank you, I thought it might be a bit obscure...

Nah. Once I looked up the monkey name in Search it was easy to pick out.

But don't you like my version? :)

I do indeed like your version... in fact I think i have that book on my shelf somewhere - and if I don't, then I certainly need to go out and buy it ;-)

I wonder if it will touchstone?

The Graph and Leaf of the Some Dude Storm Troopers by Statue Face Monkey

Nope.

The Graph and Leaf of the Some Dude Storm Troopers by Statue Face Monkey

:-D

Statue Face Monkey is one of my favorite historians. ;o)
Nice job, Tane!

Sorry, I had to use an obscene photo for the last word.....

Moby... what? :P Oh, Moby Richard!

LOL

Nice one MrsLee...

I like this thread

#28 - I've got the title because I know some dudes real name but can't get the author.

here's a suitably silly clue :-)

at

Dig My Heart At 70's Hotel With Broken Leg Man?

Hmmm... I think I'm going to have to work on this one...

Oh, you're so close! It has to do with American History.

Ah right... some research required...

Very good one.

LOL! Now THAT one I get ;-)

Good Ole Charles Kittens, I mean Dickens.

I am just grinning from to .

rerf #30
The decline and fall of Roman (Polansky) Empire (strikes back) by
(wood head) -> 'ead wood -> Edward (oy!) Gibbon

Bury my heart at wounded knee,

I'm still laughing over tequila mockingbird

Oh NO! Tail of two kitties! It was the best of puns, it was the worst of puns, ....

It is a far far better pun that I do, than I have ever punned....
The nice things about puns, is that they're supposed to make you groan.





That's a bit of a stretch, if you need a clue, I'm reading it right now.

Oh I love the Bard!

My favourite of Shakespeare's work, Meat Bulb!

;-)

You guys are killing me!!

*groan* they jsut get worse and worse :-)

Is that Low Sodium Ham? Ham-Lite? ;o)

BWAAHAHA

Ham lit

A little obscure...maybe, but in the same vein.



and

Got me on this one.. I'll need to think a bit.

Are we still in Shakespeare territory?

When shall we 3 muppets meet again? :P

Mac-Beth?

(ok, so I had to cheat a little to figure out who the guy with Miss Piggy was)

That would be Mac Davis, an imminently forgettable 70s singer.

I knew Mac, I had to cheat to get Beth. How can you call the person responsible for "Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me" forgettable? I will never get that song expunged from the memory banks.

The money one has me stumped. 4 Cents and a Buck? But then there's that 80. I have a "forsense" that the "buck" is only worth "80" cents? Abe and George turn 80?

I would say, but SOMEONE might be watching me.

Maybe Wish-I-Could-Forgettable.

It took some time to find a last photo that was not really gross.

#71: Ah, Ann Patchett. Nice choice.

Still stumped on #67...

edited to close link

Its a date.

#74 - OOOH! Toni Morrison!

I have actually never read anything by toni morrison...

#76: Neither have I, but she's on my list for this year. Been waiting on it for too long.

This should be easy.

just had to do this one because its an all time favorite :)

Alright, not that many people on LT own this novel, but I see it's in your library, Arctic, so here goes:

#80
hmm...I figured that out from the picture (nice job, heh) but have never heard of the book. Is it as hilarious as the reviews proclaim?

Yes it is. As is Absurdistan.

from the people who brought you
Two coins and two coins and a note and 80:

Jane Austin! I read this once while camping. An interesting juxtaposition.

I just got the Neil Gaiman one too!

But then, I am a bit slow.

Oh! Now I get it! I forgot apple pie was American... It really threw me off.

I got Sense and Sensibility, loved it. Not sure about the rest of them. After a whole day of thinking, this is the best I have for now.





Imagine a bid O here. :)

"But I'm a real boy!"

And I'm just not getting 83.

More Jane!

#91: Aahhhh, Morphy, that helped me out too! Lol!

Garfield?

;)

Hey now that wasn't fair!

Ok, change of plans... let's try this one (it's far too easy):

Ahh, yes much easier Making Your Own Paper ;)

#96

lol...that was actually much harder for me than it should have been because I got stuck on the wrong ecosystem. **Smacks forehead**

Do you like Kipling?

I don't know, I have never Kippled.

FoggyWoodsPageTurner!
:o)

Strictly speaking it's MistyTreesPageTurner, the sequel to FoggyWoods, but I can see where you were going...

and #99 you made me spit out my tea! ;-)

and #97 you got it in one! Well, almost :P

You know, these things are a lot easier when all the pictures show up. :( Sometimes I see them and sometimes I don't. So I've got 83 and 96, but I need a clue to 71. That toe makes me ill, so I can't look at it very long. Nothing personal, in case it's someone's own toe, but I am not a foot fetisher. :) Very much not.

Its not my toe, so say what you will about it. There were much grosser pictures I could have used. It is an Ann Patchett novel.

I didnt get 88. But I didnt get what the second was.

#104: Oooh, nice. The Princess and the Pea, by "Creepy Baby Doll Hands" Christian Andersen, right? :) (Love the hands pic.)

I hope those hands aren't edible...
*shudders*
They look like marzipan.

Almost... it's by Plato... Plato Hands...

*waits for the groooooooans*

Ok, Medellia, it's your turn ;-)

and Clam, I believe their soap hands... weird, but true.

#103 - gnocchi

AAARRRGGGHHH! That would be a l--o--n--g read!

>109 uffishread: Hee hee. Good one!

#112 - Nice!

#109 - Very clever!

I'm loving this thread.
:o)

it took me way to long to get 109

I almost blew coffee on my screen at 109. It took a few to get CandleMcMahon, the Wist of the West.

and his


(I guess it depends on you pronunciation of the second picture... but this is another easy one, because I couldn't find a picture to represent the word "hoarse", so I settled for a horse instead... ah well, can't win 'em all ;-)

Oh, and GreenDragonGirl... what's the answer to #79, cos all I think think about is ApplePieGods... unless its (and suddenly the penny drops)... Ok, nevermind, I get it now, I'll be quiet.

Although I still don't get the HairyToe, mainly because I can't bring myself to look at it ;-)

#115 Scar Woof Woof Woof?

#118 Horse and His Dingy?

#118 - I only see one piccie.

Never mind.

Scar
Let?

I've done well with these so far, but I'm blanking on the "rabbit peas" one. Little hint?

What do rabbits live in?

The first piccie is 2 words. See #110.

What's the name of that actor... something Beatty?

Um, after two hints I'm running low on clues...

I have learned something new. I didn't know there was another name for "burrow." I had to google it.

I even forced my husband to stare at it until he could find a suitable excuse to run away.

See, and who said education wasn't fun? ;-)

thanks for the hints Tane!

I got the one with the rabbit's den and the peas. I'm stumped by the one in #112 (ornament plus Ed McMahon?) (Christmas ball plus straight man? Ball Plus Publishers Clearing House?) Not. Getting. It.

you're welcome. Now, can you help me out with the HairyToe one? or the NotACandleManWithGlasses one?

I expect this is fairly easy but I had to do it...







now hope that all the pics show up...

here is my entry...

And

ok...I got both those.

first "HairyToe": liberty bell, can of soup, hairy toe...I promise it's all in there.

second: "candleman glasses" Part of candle + Ed McMahon = one word title

>123 clamairy:
Yes, Scar + Let = ?????

Okay, so this one is just an excuse for me to be a giant TNG nerd... And probably the only way anyone will get it is to be as big of a nerd as I am.

#136
Ok, I can now check Candle-Man off the list (it helped knowing it was just a one word title ;-)

as for HairyToe, I'm still thinking about it (I'm sure it'll turn out to be something really obvious in the end, but the toe is kinda distracting LOL).

EDIT - OK, I got it, and yes it's really plainly obvious, I'm just not very familiar with Ann Patchett's work.

Thank you for the pointers.

Thought i'd make an easy one

Then thought nah

#140: Are you going for Geraldine Brooks? Or E.L. Doctorow?

#140 middlemarch??

I am stuck on 135 and 138...and maybe 140 if I'm way off on my guess, heh

#135: Is the name of the storyteller:

another easy just cause I love it one...

Foot music: A book of invading CDs. That's an old favourite of mine.

#142- Sheherazade

142 - Medellia12, she is a prominent figure in the book!

trying to get a decent second picture was a little unsettling...

#149: hahaha, ewwwww! That's not sexy at all! :)

>149 readafew: HA! I like that book - Apostrophe Stitches. Kinky.

Hee hee!
Just like that t-shirt flee posted in skoob's thread.
:o)

#145

Aaah, a Pratchett fan, huh? I quite like the Susan character...

Ok so i am stuck on 140....

KickMarchBand?

or Middlemarch, perhaps?

This one's from my daughter, don't know if the images will work though.

Nice, MrsLee

ETA: 157 is a real groaner!!

-er

I can't image any title that would feature Conway Twitty, Sam Cooke, and Dick Clark. I am totally at a loss.

Come on, baby, let's do the...

The mind is the first to go....

I'm at a loss for 156 & 157.

Morphy: I got 156 when I tried using the last picture person's FIRST name

I got 157 when I figured out the occupation of the man in the last picture. (You will moan at this one. It's really a stretch.)

159--I thought they were pears!

O
M
G!

Dickens is surely rolling over in his grave, or would be if he were alive to see this.

Oh and I just got 157...that is cruel!

#`49-Kama Sutra

This one might be harder than it should be as one of the four pics seems to be disapearing. If you see two leaves at the top here just leaf one unconsidered. hahahahaa. oh my.

#156
Aaah, very good... though I had to look up who the woman was...

#167 - *is suddenly very happy NOT to be a strawberry*

#159 - Excellent!

#157 - Game Board Lunch by Grain Shoveler! My fav. :oS

#157 - OMG . I just got it. That is AWFUL! Hee hee....

#167 - Oy. I'm lost, Tane.

I think we're going to need a master list cause there are still several here I haven't a clue as to what they are...

I was thinking the same thing.

1.And Then There Were None
2.To Have And Have Not
3.Pride and Prejudice
9.The Soul Thief
10.Dealing With Dragons
11.Dragon Prince
15.Of Mice and Men
16.Anna and the King of Siam
18.A Brief History of Time
21.To Kill a Mockingbird
24.Don Quixote
28.the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbons
39.Moby Dick
43.Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
48.A Tale of Two Cities The touchstone worked when I spelled Tale.. Tail. LOL
55.Hamlet
63.MacBeth
67.Sense and Sensibility
71.Bel Canto
74.Beloved
78.A Clockwork Orange
79.American Gods
80.The Russian Debutante's Handbook
83.Persuasion
88.Pinnochio
96.Jungle Book
104.The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Anderson
109.War and Peace
112.Wicked

The answer key to my posts:

#9: The Soul Thief (this one is linked above)
#18: A Brief History of Time (ditto)
#74: Beloved (by Toni Morrison)
#80: The Russian Debutante's Handbook (by Gary Shteyngart)
#138: The Metamorphosis (by Franz Kafka)
#141: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams)

And #144 was a response to #135. Hers, I think, was meant to be A Thousand and One Nights ("A-Mouse-Sand-and-Won-Knights"), so I asked if the storyteller was Sheherazade. ("Shh-hair-a-sod.")

I'm curious about #140 and #167, myself.

I need to go. I guess I should have put the post number as well on the list.

17 NOT Sense and Sensibility. Persuasion!

140 and 167 are the only I havent gotten yet.

*whispers* Psst. #140 is Middlemarch.

This thread made my day, hilarious and so fun!

drneutron or someone else, could you explain where the "middle" part of "Middlemarch" comes in? I'm stumped.

I'm lost on #157 & 167

#156 is A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce (That's a self-portrait of Pablo Picasso, as a young man).

On #157 -

That's a *drag* strip and a *cooler* followed by a bowl of *bran* and a guy *stoking* a fire...

Good one, DrN.
I'm going to hold off on the rest of the list. Partly to give others a chance to work on the unknown ones. and mainly because I don't have them all figured out!

Err well drag was supposed to be track but besides mangled pronunciation it works out the same.

the

of

Cal8769 - Mystic River. Nice. And a great book.

I thought #67 was 1984.

Clam, I've had a brain-wave... I'm thinking #167 must be Jude the Obscure? Chewed-Tea-Hob-Skewer? If so, that may very well have made my day ;-)

If so, bravo! (Hob?)

Definitions
hob
noun

1 A kind of cutting tool, used to cut the teeth of a gear.
2 (obsolete) The flat projection or iron shelf at the side of a fire grate, where things are put to be kept warm.
3 The top cooking surface on a cooker. It typically comprises several cooking elements (often four), also known as 'rings'.
=-

that's the definition from allwords.com... I must admit I hadn't heard of definitions 1 or 2 before...

Wow, these are fun! The last two hours just flew by (don't tell the boss).

#79 is actually meant to be american gods but american heroes works just as well I guess, heh.

#190 - Thanks, Tane! Oddly that chewed upon leaf didn't show up on the first few viewings, not that it would have helped me at all. LOL

Is there a picture missing in #187?

There are supposed to be 3 pictures in 187. I get little red Xs here at home, but can see them fine at work. Go figure.

Yeah, I see the little red X

I get the red x too.

I see two pix and no red X. No wonder I was stumped. ;o)

I finally got sense and sensability....ok, I am very slow....I still like 1984 though but the order is not right.
