| Dec-21-10 | | dakgootje: A miracle! No clue has appeared in the mean time!
I was somewhat-right; meat-potatoes-vegetables. It was not endive though, red cabbage instead, so there is where I went left. |
|
| Dec-21-10 | | NakoSonorense: <Dom> & <Annie> Thanks both. <Annie>, I just saw this: <I also <almost> got the Compton one>. Sorry to hear you were so close. I got this one very quickly. After realizing that the product of the freeways that surrounded the "A" location was stratospherically high to be a game ID, I tried Compton. It was very easy. I didn't even need to look at a map to know what city it was. I guess it didn't hurt that I drove by Compton just two weeks ago, uh. |
|
Dec-21-10
 | | Domdaniel: <Nako> I figured you might know Compton -- I never even saw that klu go by. What's scary about this klu hunt now is, a pic of your own front door could turn up, and *somebody else* has googled it while you're still going "Hey, I live there!" ... |
|
Dec-21-10
 | | Annie K.: <Dom: <<Annie> Replied to your mail. Like a civilized person and a good boy. And, while I was 'away', I missed a Klu in its entirety.>> I think I may have somehow stumbled into a parallel universe. But iz ok, I like it here... ;) Sorry to hear the damage report. Suggestion: the email window doesn't need to be maximized. Use a partial floating window, that leaves the top of the screen clear, so you can always see the nuklu strip's location on your self-refreshing browser window in the background... <[...] you solved two clues already. That makes you a pro [...]> Hmm... I wonder if solving three makes you a prrrrr, or something like that? ;) <SwitchingQuylthulg: <<Annie K.: I figured it would be a numeric code, since TinEye returned only the same pic without the colors>
Thanks for that - I'd completely forgotten about TinEye, which made solving the latest clue that much easier :-) >> You're welcome. :) I first mentioned TinEye here several days back, so if you had been properly reading along, you could have used it for a couple of other klus. Serves you right for neglecting your lurking. ;p <Dom: <Chatting is a great excuse to keep refreshing pages, innit? And doesn't seem *quite* as moronic as staring at a screen and hitting 'refresh' every few seconds ...>> Well, yes, but then I come online to see I have several new pages to catch up with! Not that I'm complaining, exactly. ;) I've ackshly got some work to do here today, so I'll be on the quiet side hereafter, until I get home... Carry on! :) |

I opens a window and I sticks to it. Split screens give me a headache. I'm currently taking some small measure of pride in the fact that I manage to solve *any klus at all* given my techno primitivism. |

| | Domdaniel: O mighty Nuklu!
O great god Nuklu!
We invoke Thee
at this time of
division (and long multiplication) among Thy People.
Hear us, Nuklu.
Come to us, Nuklu.
If you kill us
Don't eat us.
If you eat us, don't digest us.
But shytte us out
That we may await
Another Nuklu.
Amen. |

| Dec-21-10 | | dakgootje: <you could have used it for a couple of other klus> I tried tineye and similar search-machines for the Arthur-film clue (#3), but it was of no use :( |
|
| Dec-21-10 | | dakgootje: <Use a partial floating window> How can it float partially? In any given substance an object either sinks, floats or rises. Partial-floating implies the object breaks apart. Are you trying to break our computers? |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: Thought I was clean out of the running there due to RL commitments at xactly the wrong time. Hear me, Nuklu!
Mebbe not *so* easy, eh?
Oh. Kay ... |
|
Dec-21-10
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: And <The HeavenSmile> wins his third copy of <Danya>'s book... |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: Book's gone, then? Dammit, I never got a proper go at that one. Tried to make the requisite calculations in my head, gave up, made my excuses, fed the Aged Parent, sat down to try alternative keyboard layouts, and time ran out. Sigh.
See y'all in 8.2 hours, I s'pose.
Nuklu? Who exactly you smiling on, big guy? |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: <dak> Call it hysteria if you will, but this ...
<How can it float partially? In any given substance an object either sinks, floats or rises. Partial-floating implies the object breaks apart. Are you trying to break our computers?>
caused a major fit of LOL-type giggles this end. Still, hic, doing so, in fact. Hic. Scuse me. |
|
| Dec-21-10 | | dakgootje: *hits forehead*
Why did I not think of alternative keyboards.. Well, about 8 hours to fill with chatter until the next clue.. |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: I guess most cultures have sayings about gods laughing while mortals have nervous breakdowns. Easy enough to see where they came from, rilly. |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: <Serves you right for neglecting your lurking>
Never neglurk your lecting, kids. Miz Annie knows this stuff. ;-) |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: ... and then there were eight.
All or nothing on the h-file, chaps. Over the top at 08:00, and may Nuklu have mercy on our soles ... |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Annie K.: <Dom> Book's <not> gone - as <Switch> sez, HeavenSmile already won the same book 3 times - must be some kind of fate thing! - anyhoo, ceegee will send him another gift instead, that would be the shirt, since he already got the other book instead of the first, the second time he won the first, if you follow... ;) <dakkie> nitpicker. :p Those commas are expensive, okay?! ;) I tried all the QWERTY number possibilities, then the Crypto link ceegee kindly provided in the explanashun to one of the earlier klus, which instantly returned "kutuzov" in first place... who happens to be an actual player I even knew about... hmm, our beloved admins do have a slight sadistic streak somewhere... ;) BTW, <Dom>, given the quick responses to your recent prayers, it seems we may have found the True Name of the Hunt Deity... now if it only weren't a monster, like all the other deities... :s Back to work... again... :p |

| | Domdaniel: O Nuklu
Hear us, Nuklu
Listen to the words
Of thy servant Bob Dylan
who sang, verily
If you see Saint Annie
Please tell her, thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up
and take another shot
and my best friend, my doctor
Won't even say
What it is that I've got.
Hear us, O Nuklu.
We sacrifice
Our first-moved pawns to Thee. |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: Hear us, Nuklu.
We mistyped.
<I don't even have the strength
to get up and take another shot>
is the standard form
of the prayer song in question.
Forgive us, Nuklu.
We're only human. |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Annie K.: ... am <*not*>, either, responsible for that "virus"...! ;p |
|
| Dec-21-10 | | dakgootje: Dear me, I completely missed your hicsteria-post! In that case, even without a solved clue, this day has not been wasted after all! Moreover, I went to the.. hairdress-person today! Even though haircutter or hairchopper seems more accurate. In any case, it has been such a useful day that I should really take tomorrow off. |
|
| Dec-21-10 | | hms123: <Dom>
Under Thursday of Crispness,
MacTruloff sanity
Three wench friends
Tudors above
An' the parson up a psaltree.
Walt Kelly |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: OK. Only *now* do I get a chance to sit down ... well, sort of *squat*, rilly, I don't hold with *sitting* ... and relax. O Nuklu. Any hint when we might expect thy next municifence, O Nuklu? O Nuklu
When this is over
I will definitely
Go back to atheism
But hear me in the meantime
O Nuklu. |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Annie K.: <dakkie: <Moreover, I went to the.. hairdress-person today!>> Uh, I hope you have been planning this visit for <at least> a month, or two..? |
|
Dec-21-10
| | Domdaniel: <hms> ... and the parson can stay there. Bleedin' parasitic go-betweens and sky pilots. Hear us, O Nuklu. |
