OK. This is a game that everyone can play :-) There is a small, un-redeemed wager here in the Heron Clan... It has to do with the picture you see here. Hint for our non sports-minded friends: the pictured fellow is the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts football team -- Peyton Manning.
To play our little game, all you have to do is guess the nature of the wager and figure out who is holding out.
Simple.
Let your imagination run free. It is the season to spread a little joy and merriment, so feel free to join in our simple pleasure.
Have fun!!!

ReplyDeleteYour “simple little game” is more like a Gordion’s Knot to me. I can’t do puzzles (and I don’t spell good neither). Even when somebody tells me the answer I usually can’t figure it out.

Well, jack, if it helps any, further to this same "puzzle..." We were preparing to leave for a holiday event yesterday morning, and Master sent me to find the invitation so that we could "Mapquest" the driving directions. He said, "It is on my night table -- the green card." I looked and looked and looked and could not find the specified invitation. Finally, in desperation I picked up a bright PURPLE index card that was there on His night table, and tah dah -- there it was, the missing invitation. So part of the game has to do with what my dear departed Dad would have termed "a lovely shade of sky blue pink!"

Swan,
ReplyDeleteWe had an apartment in Indianapolis about 10+ years ago....at a place called Riverbend...my husband was the CEO of a company called Biosound...so maybe I should have a leg up on this puzzle...but, not being very good at puzzles, I am puzzled!!!
Bo
I have no idea about the game but surely this chap has a made up name :0) If he's a ball player shouldn't he be called something more butch like, I dunno, Rex or Dan or something?!!
ReplyDeleteBut what do I know about it - I'm English :0))

Well, actually Littoral, part of the issue is with the name... Here in the States, some folks might assume that a guy with a name like "Peyton" or "Eli" (which is his pro-football playing brother's name) might not be nearly as pale as the dear boy is... and that sort of "assumption" got a certain member of the clan into a bargain which seems just too much...

Why do i get the feeling the Heretic has dug himself a mighty deep hole there? :P
ReplyDeleteI suppose, Grumblin, that if it were possible for Master to dig Himself a hole, He would have done it this time. Seems he was quite sincerely convinced that Peyton Manning was African-American, and willing to wager a spanking on His assertion of that "fact." I took Him up on that "bet." The fellow ought to know that when I lay my ass on the line, I am knowing what I am talking about, but there is that tendency on the part of dominant personalities to believe in their inherent infallibility sometimes... Anyway, ... the reckoning is still somewhat up in the air, but we're working it out... IOne has to handle this sort of thing delicately when the power exchange is stood on its head you know ;-)
