Oh well, I guess I need to get the humbug outta me.....

Agreed, that leads me to my next point.

Next Feature request to Brandon:
An All-Hint Related (And that includes Hoaxes) Discussion Thread Blocker. I made one myself once, I called it a cardboard box, hopefully he could add a few more features to it, like CD-Media.

Ya know...they created the "RUMOR MILL" for a reason. If you see the that the post is from the Rumor Mill, and you dont feel like hearing little humorous things from time to time....then maybe you should just NOT READ the post. Reading a post on these boards is totally up to you.

What I was sharing are actual events which to many of us were kinda funny. I thought it was a good story to share with people on Delphi.

Apparently I was wrong.

I now see why I stopped posting so much here.

Andy - you may have gotten caught up in the middle of a whirlwind of activity today.
Your initial post is humorous and fun -the timing was a little strange - it came in the middle of 'false' hints and the CD community was on a wild roller coaster ride. I think it is settling down now.

Please continue to post in CD.

Hey Andy, don't sweat it. I thought it was funny! If those other guys didn't get it, that is their problem.

p.s. however, I must caution against using my sense of humor as any sort of litmus test for good taste.

I reallly don't see how this falls into the same boat as Greg's, Greg went out and tricked people, very well I might add. No one, with more than a week of FIRST experience could have honestly saw the thread title and thought that Andy had legitimently figured out the entire game. Relax, enjoy the holidays and get ready for build season. I for one enjoy ridiculous speculation about what the game could be. If you don't then don't read any threads that come out between Atlanta and Kick off.

Hey, I thought it was funny. After the "Official Game Hint" thread, I figured this was another joke. Nice, funny, relaxing bedtime story. What's a Autowrench look like, anyway?

Funny, I heard from a very reliable source the official game piece was a Skip-It.

An autowrench well at least the black and decker one (I'm not sure about other brands version of an autowrench) looks and even feels like a wrench. Get this, its adjustable. You hit a button and it moves to how big it should be.

I really enjoyed Andy's insightful analysis and was ready to leave it at that, but then Dave had to weigh in:

Now, almost a day later, no one has begun interpreting, dissecting, attaching synonyms, re-interpreting or otherwise mangling Dave's wise words in an effort to find the hidden key to the game. I smell a conspiracy!

Andy,
Do not even worry about the negative thoughts into your post I thought it was very funny. It made me laugh for the FIRST time all day and I listen to O and A most of the day.

Every Home Depot Store should have recieved an order sometime this afternoon.... if that helps :-p

As a fellow O&A fan, I thank you!

Ya know, this whole thing really does crack me up...

I mean seriously...its a battery operated adjustable wrench. Really! Have we met the height of laziness? Although I will admit, upon seeing the autoclamp, I wanted one immediately...my quote to Jess was as follows.

Andy - AUTOCLAMP?!?!?!?
Jess - Cooool
Andy - I WANT THAT!
Jess - Really? Andy...what are you going to do with that?
Andy - Take it apart!
Jess - WHAT?!?! Why?
Andy - Because I want to see what makes it spin!

Oddly enough, Id have almost 0 use for the autoclamp, but it wouldn't be the first time I bought something to take it apart. Afterall, Greg Needel and I bought a leaf blower last year to take apart for the "Air Wall" experiment.

Oh and as for the perception that Dave Lavery leaves little hints about the game every year in his posts....is anyone else reminded of the movie "Life of Brian" when they see some of the posts? Thats why the CD community cracks me up. I'm sure it cracks Dave up too...to the point where I am convinced that he does subtle little things just to see if people pick up on them...even if the game has absolutely nothing to do with it. I mean...who could blame him...I would too if I were in his shoes!

Air Wall experiment?

My guess is they wanted to sit under the goal and try and blow all the balls off target.

This is correct. We wanted to create a wind wall idea to knock down any balls that were shot into the goal. (One of Needel's crazy but excelent 1am ideas). Needless to say...we could make a ball float...but we couldn't stop it from going through a goal.
