....pop quiz time !
OK, kiddies..."pop quiz" time...
my students would always complain and carry-on...
but you have an incentive...!
I will award a really cool prize...
to the "clever" reader who figures out
"what" the mystery object is...
[no, the prize is not an autographed picture of me...
OR a cat...]
you will have 3 guesses to solve the riddle...
[...just like in the fairy tales...]
clue # 1...if you are good at puzzles..."it is an enigma, wrapped in a conundrum..."
clue #2...the "representation" you see, is "abstract art"...
clue #3...if you are observant, you may have noticed that it
originally appeared on the "footer of my blog...
the same day as a certain post...late in March...
[it is referenced (oh so subtly...)in 2 different posts]
and now, Johnny...tell them what they win !
well...that depends...
if you live in Mudville...or "the sleepy village" nearby...
I will cook, and deliver the meal of your choice...
[and no, I don't expect to join you for dinner...]
lasagna, meatloaf, lentil soup or whatever...
if you live "farther away"...you get "homemade oatmeal cookies"
with nuts and raisins...all organic and really good...
[lasagna doesn't travel too well...]
ties get duplicate prizes...
[ganging-up on me is not nice...so play fair...]
so...take your best guesses....
leave them in a comment to this post...
if you guess wrong on all 3 ...you are allowed 1 "pity guess"
contest will end on 4/13/08
[if no one "gets it"...
then we'll have a "lightning round"...]
so...come on... play with me...
[I feel like Rumplestiltskin...hee, hee...]
BTW...extra bonus prize if you are "visitor # 500"
whether the 500th visit is the winning one or not...

Square Peg...you are a winner !
remember kiddies...there can be multiple winners...
if you guess correctly, I will delete your comment and proclaim your victory !
the rest of you "puzzle solvers" out there...
any guesses ?
queen "Neffa..." you are also a winner... leave me your contact info...[e-mail or your blog site ] I am deleting your winning guess...as well "changing your name to protect the process of the contest"...
congrats...
Queen Neffa...[or should I say MIZ MINKA ! ...]
[busted HA !]
you taught me well, O "Sleuth of the Nile..."
congrats...you are ALSO # 500 !...but you probably knew that too...
unrelated to the spoils from this feat of "catly" victory... check the "usual spot" [in the GH kitchen]tonight for "more Dibley"
I'll ask SP to place it there for you... plain manilla envelope...cheers...
Cool, a two-fer! ;) My lucky day! :)
And no, I didn't know I was #500, I didn't wait for your page to load completely (dial-up disease, you know) in order to see what the number was.
...at the risk of being "loquacious"... ; }
perhaps "d-up d" is the reason sitemeter tracked you as a "0 sec." visitor...
enjoy the "Dibley".... I have some deadly malady..
[I'll spare you the details...]
so SP is playing "UPS" to the GH k... enjoy...
Bittersweet??
Loretta...ah...wrong...
but that is only "strike 1"...
you have more chances, should you wish to use them..
cheer up...it's baseball season !
although...I'm a Giants fan from NY days... : /
OT: you might find this link amusing.
...you are too kind MM... I went from ROTFL to
" what?..."
[some of the "more descriptive names" brought me back to what some jr high kids used to call me...]
it brought a smile to my illness-plagued self....
I must confess the "OT" confused me at first...
[you know I don't text...and I knew it wasn't "over time"...since you don't "do" sports...] ...until I looked it up... once again proving my "librarian/ general anal-ness"...
[off topic, right ?...not "oblivious twit"...?
or "obnoxious talker" ?... ; D ]
