Ignoring Game Hints

[skimoose]

It's still fun to see Dave's mind at work, or is that play? Also, occasionally stirring the pot is always fun.

I'll have to agree with Billfred that the poems were fun, I liked it better when the clues pointed to the game's name.

As someone who usually volunteers for field setup, I was relieved that it wasn't a picture of a blowfish or puffer fish. My hearing could use a break from inflating field objects!

This is one of the all-time funniest things I have ever read on CD. Awesome.

OK, I can't just let that comment go by... care to share some additional details?

Find a video of the 2006 Kickoff and you'll understand after watching.

Did someone write something? I see the letters but... that's fishy.

if you turn the brightness down on the picture you can read the lettering in the background. The picture is out of some school text book it realy doesn't say much.

Since I still haven't figured out the link between last years hints and the actual game, i am not yet concerning myself with this years hint.

Has one been posted? I thought the first one came out January 4th.

I find it funny how this thread about ignoring the game hint has degraded into discussing the game hint. Oh the irony.

woot-offs make good anti-clue distractions for those who don't care about the clue...

PS - I can tell you that Opah is much more satisfying to eat than to obsess over.

Raises hand.
Too busy doing FF anyways.

Wait. What am I supposed to be ignoring again?

I've been drowning getting a new control system running on an old robot and my brain is a little water logged these days. It's hard being a salmon swimming upstream, so if one of you could throw me a line and hook me up I promise to catch back up with the school...

Ignoring the game hint? What a great idea! If nothing more than for self preservation! When I left Friday evening, the Game Hint Thread was at 120 posts which was outrageous on its own, now it is close to 650!

But its hard to do when you walk through the high school and see the Opah as the wallpaper photo on all of the tech computers! (And when your very dear friend sends you poems about meatballs and moonfish! )

Well, I'm not worrying about it too much... although I am reading this thread, now, aren't I? My real contribution to this frenzy was forwarding it on to my former team, because despite my best efforts they are still completely absent on this site...
