Get your pencils sharpened, cuz this month's puzzle is a baddie... http://www.jimcohen.com

Jim, where is the puzzle? I opened the link and all I could find was a picture of my bathroom floor. My floor has a very unique tile pattern, I'd recognize it anywhere.

Please excuss my previous post, I forgot "bathroom" humor is not appropriate for the forum. Hopely, Jim's thread will not "head" in the wrong direction.

Hummmmm, I opened the puzzle and all I saw was a black and white quilt. See, Colm - I'm covering for ya!

Donna thanks for "sewing" up this "thread". Jim must feel he has a "blanket" license to assign difficult homework problems. With Febuary being a punky little month, I feel a little "short-sheeted". I'll be "tossing and turning" all night long until I solve this one. Well thats all the "pillow talk" I can think of for now.

Hey, I figured it was a Leap Year, so y'all have an extra day to work this one out.

Donna Dodd · Post by **Donna Dodd** » 6 Feb 2004 9:25 pm

Thanks, Jim for letting us know. I probably would have leaped right over it!

OK, since this month's puzzle is so tough, here's a Hint: Some of YOU are in the puzzle!

Month's half-over. C'mon over and play!

Donna, I need a clue for 65 across

Now Colm - My last name wouldn’t be DODD if I were to casually toss around answers to Jim’s puzzle as if the prize were nothing more than a cheap plastic Barbi DODD – oops, I mean DOLL. Jim would call his DODDS – oops, I mean DOGS on me. Thank DODD - oops, I mean GOD that you’re not the kind that would even think about cheating. I’d wager a DODDAR – oops, I mean DOLLAR that you don’t even know the answer to 98 down. If you do, please hide it in a message in the humor section. Use the word in one of those Chinese Proverb posts. And while you’re at it – give me 1-Down, too.

Thanks Colm-
Donna DODD

Confuscious think Buana Jim warn that looking over shoulder at answers is a Capital Offense....therefore, no Peking.

But maybe I offer clue: One down is a four letter word not found in dictionary. Once one down, more to go. Completing puzzle must be a sustained effort.

Hope this helps

Jim, I'd like to trade Puzzle #4 for Puzzle #2, please.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 19 Feb 2004 5:42 am

I'm sorry, Donna, I can't do that. But would you like to buy a vowel?

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 26 Feb 2004 8:46 pm

Only a few days left...

Colm Chomicky · Post by **Colm Chomicky** » 27 Feb 2004 11:05 am

Hope you got my submission. A few weeks ago or so, I sent from home using my new internet provider. After I sent I did not hear any steel guitar music coming from my computer, so I don't know if the mail arrived at your abode.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 27 Feb 2004 2:55 pm

Yup, I got it Colm. Yours was the one with all the misspelled words in it, right?

Steve Hitsman · Post by **Steve Hitsman** » 28 Feb 2004 9:47 am

Did you get mine?

Donna Dodd · Post by **Donna Dodd** » 28 Feb 2004 10:01 am

mine was the one with my last name within the puzzle in two places.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 28 Feb 2004 12:12 pm

Yup, Steve, I got yours too.

Just to head off any further queries as to whether I've received "your" submission, here are the initials of those whose solutions I've received for Feb. (plus a few email addresses if I don't know your full name):

C.C.
B.F.
D.W.
D.D.(Yes, D.D., yours was the one where you entered your own name not just twice but 5 or 6 times, including being the latest member of the steel guitar Hall of Fame; oh, well, I guess it all went to your head, huh?)

R.B.
J.F.
1doghouse
S.H. (that's you Steve!)
steelin'@klompy
