I copied the following meme from one I did almost 3 years ago.
I figured I’d bring it around again.
Here’s the game:
Post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. I will try to guess. (I won’t check IP addresses.)
I’ll add my guesses to your comments, so you’ll have to check back now and then.
If I guess wrong, give me another clue. I’ll continue until I get it or I give up in despair.
I’ll probably be hopelessly bad at this…if I don’t know you half-decently, it might be good if your clues are either researchable, or if they offer me some smidgen of hope of coming up with the right answer. But if you’re too obvious, it won’t be any fun.
On the other hand, post anything you like. What the heck.
Please note: You will be able to comment anonymously, but your comments will be initially invisible. I’ll make them visible as I get to them.
Have fun.
P.S. If you played this three years ago and I didn’t guess you. make an anonymous comment to this posting with a copy of the link to your clue thread from the old post.
« Oh, I feel old. Okay….So.. you’re gonna make it hard on me. »
i want to own chickens
i like to take walks at night

Okay.. I’m going to hazard a random guess
1. Sounds very random
2. Sounds nifty
3. Sounds incredibly unique.
random + nifty + unique in my current mindsedt would make my first guess:
Re: Okay.. I’m going to hazard a random guess
😀
I guess it would help if I remembered to turn on the “anonymous” button.
Previous comment deleted…I’ll have to come up with three more!
1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
2. You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant.
3. This sword here at my side don’t act the way it should.
Well, well, well. That is quite impressive.
I think I narrowed this down to two. Either or . I didn’t recognze the third quote and had to look it up. My BÖC being a little weak.
so after carefull consideration… I think I will go with
If I am right (which I doubt) I based the guess on number 1.
Interesting path to get there…but it’s the wrong answer.
Three more:
1. Though we share so many secrets, there are some we never tell.
2. I remember every little thing, as if it happened only yesterday.
3. I do the rock, it’s stimulating.
Oh…. OH!
Battle Hymn of the Republic was evil. I didn’t think about the chorus. But “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “I do the Rock” reminds me of the chorus of Battle Hymn.
This would of course reduce you down to one of three people., or heWithNoLJ: adolfWithAnF
So, I’m gonna have to respond with a lyric of my own….
_____, _____? Who can I turn to?
You give me something I can hold on to.
Re: Oh…. OH!
Jenny, Jenny
God I hate that song.
1. I’m pagan with a strong lean toward Thelema.
2. we talked on IM once years ago when you were still single
3. I can tap dance
I can’t remember the journal name
But I’m guessing the high priestess of the circle I was a guest at while living in San Diego??
Re: I can’t remember the journal name
Nope, I wish though. ;-]
I’m having a handfasting soon and have been posting about it a ton.
Re: I can’t remember the journal name
Well, I’m going to make a guess which I expect to be very wrong
Re: I can’t remember the journal name
Wrong!
Escape to Witch Mountain was one of my fave movies as a kid.
Mine too
But that doesn’t help.
Another clue?
Re: Mine too
Dang, this is getting depressing.
I live in Ann Arbor, MI.
Re: Mine too
Ahh. Ann Arbor. One of my faithful readers,
Re: Mine too
Yay!!
1)All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.

For this one
i’m going to have to try
Re: For this one
Try again…
1)I have become wiser with age.
2)Tea, feet, and theatre are all important.
3)Mistakes are part of growing, even when they don’t seem wrong at the time.
Re: For this one

Re: For this one
Bonus clue: “Circle Game”
Circle game… I have no clue…

8)Camping.
9)”…always said, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.””
Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
I’m going to try something way off what I’d normally think…
But I’m pretty sure that’s not right either.
Re: Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
) You often said I wouldn’t change,
) You can ask me to explain up to 3 clues
) following advice is hard for me
Re: Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
i have my suspicions at this point. But they require 2 pieces of information:
1) “Circle Game”?
2) Are you currently subscribed to my journal?
Re: Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
1) How our interactions have been in the time I have known you = “circular”
“game” = can’t take seriously anymore
“circle game” also a good song
2) Yes, but you are not subscribed to mine
Re: Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
I had a feeling.
This would be
Re: Okay.. this one is making my brain bleed…
well met, good game and all that…nice to know it wasn’t easy
1. I was one of the first people to meet your son.
2. She’s got it! Oh baby she’s got it!
3. My job is a dream.
1. That narrows it down
2. “Cause… I’m your venus.. I’m your fire… what’s your desire”
3. “Clues that make me go Boeing Boeing Boeing”

Je parle le francais
Oregon native (though not Native American as far as I know)
Have achieved adept with 5 musical instruments including my voice.
???
If those instruments are all on one device
and even if not..
I’m thinking
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
I don’t thin speaks French, and if I am not mistaken he is from Montana…
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
Shall I guess that this clue was meant to be anonymous. Because I know for a fact you speak French 😉
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
I haven’t even left you any clues about me!
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
No actually. I only count keyboards as one instrument. The others are hand percussion, electric bass, guitar, and simple flutes (like with holes instead of keys)
Nice try though 😉
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
Would this be a confession then?
Are you the French speaking Oregonian?
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
Oui mon ami…
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
To be honest. I probably would never have guessed. Really good one.
Re: If those instruments are all on one device
Awwww… I thought I was stating my most obvious traits. Obviously you don’t visit Portland often enough. 😉
1. Nine years of piano lessons led me to realize that I wasn’t all that fond of the instrument.
2. I can thread most sewing machines without the book.
3. I still remember which class I was sitting in the moment Christa McAuliffe died.
Wow, very difficult

Re: Wow, very difficult
4. Wood-working is a hobby of mine, and you’ve seen some of my handy work.

Re: Wow, very difficult
“The pixie can’t sleep”
Re: Wow, very difficult
Okay… we’ll try the literal….?!??
Re: Wow, very difficult
And what class, pray tell, would I have remembered being in at the tender age of two the day the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded?
Nope.. Not me.
Next clue: Daniel first.
Re: Wow, very difficult
Okay this will seem random:
Re: Wow, very difficult
And here is a movie quote that might appear equally as random:
“Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuo-
Sos, the cream of ev’ry famous band.”
Re: Wow, very difficult
Okay.. let’s try a music man I know,
Ya know… on second thought
Let’s try
Re: Ya know… on second thought
Yay!
–I am a desert bug.
–I like to dance.
–I knit.
Hrmmn. For starters I think I’ll try:
Nope, not yet…
4) I like playing with your hair because it “boing”s!
Okay… for this one…
Let’s try
Re: Okay… for this one…
Yep!
Re: Okay… for this one…
So, tell me what day evening you’re visiting this week. And I’ll make sure it’s extra sproingy for playing.
Standard surcharge 😉
Re: Okay… for this one…
Hmmm…when would you like me to visit? 🙂
It would be good to catch a ride with the lovely Miss N.
(1) We’ve lost touch, found each other, lost touch again.. and then found each other one more time…
(2) It all started with tea…
(3) You introduced me to Thelema and the OTO
So many to choose from
Let’s try or one of the other journal’s related.
Re: So many to choose from
Nope… Try again
Re: So many to choose from
Another clue, then?
Re: So many to choose from
4) I love flying but I don’t get to do it often enough.
5) You’ve been at a couple of my initiations
6) We played footsy several times.
Re: So many to choose from
i’m going to have to try:
not that 5 or 6 really narrows it down too much 😉
Re: So many to choose from
😛 Alright what gave it away?
Re: So many to choose from
‘a couple of inits’ plus footises.
Tea actually threw me off.
🙂
Re: So many to choose from
Tea did start this whole thing off… If you remember after class you went down to Starbucks to grab a cup of tea and I was getting coffee and we stopped and talked for about a half hour at least and I told my whole lifes story.. 🙂 So tea started this whole thing off 🙂
Re: So many to choose from
Ahh, memories. Oh yeah… “whole thing” I guess we owe it to Starbucks 😉
I have an orange room in my house.
I work with a theatre group on occasion.
I like chocolate.
Here are your three clues.
very very vague
Re: very very vague
Let’s try and narrow it down a bit further for you..
1. Tell us a story, Uncle Andrei
2. I married a fiddler.
3. I keep calling you Greg instead of Andrei.
Re: very very vague
I got this one…
And no.. even with a child… you don’t get to call me “Dadoo”
Re: very very vague
Let me guess, it was the fiddler comment that got you, right. And why can’t i call you dadoo? Langdon still won’t let me call him Dadoo. You should see Hal and Bunny, how tall they are. Bunny’s in high school.
Actually, On second thought
1) I’m good at jigsaw puzzles.
2) I have ancestors on both sides of the American Revolution.
3) I’m right-handed.

Nope.
My favorite color used to be pink.

Re: And a guess from out in left field..
Yep.

The best way to get through an unpleasant journey is to hunker down and wait it out.
I’m no longer the youngest one in the house.

1) I have been involved with the OTO for 7 years, in three different states, with one lodge, two oases, and two camps-in-formation.
2) I can sleep through anything.
3) Someone once told you to kiss me and you did.

Re: Ummmm….
Nope.
I live closer to you than z111 does, although I pass through Nevada when I go visit my parents.
Re: Ummmm….
Okay… I’m going to take a closer stab and say:
1. I will be able to help you in ways beyond that which you initially thought.
2. I envy your 70’s geekdom, which surpasses even mine.
3. As an idol of mine has noted, I have stood here before inside the pouring rain, with the world turning circles running ’round my brain…
I have an idea… but let’s try:
good luck
1. I have bi-lateral hernia scars
2. I’m an Army brat
3. My father was raised on a Native American reservation
