Yeah I read that on a bathroom door somewhere

infinite monkey 08-18-2011 07:26 AM

Was it on I-75 outside of Toledo? I wrote that one.

monster 08-18-2011 07:30 AM

Is that the one with the glory holes?

infinite monkey 08-18-2011 07:36 AM

No no no...that's the OTHER one. Northbound side. The closer you get to Michigan the more prolific they become.

monster 08-18-2011 07:41 AM

...until it's just one big hole ...oh wait, that's Detroit

infinite monkey 08-18-2011 07:46 AM

DETROIT ROCK CITY.

Do we have any outstanding haikus? (edit: well, they're all outstanding. Upstanding? Notwithstanding?) OK, do we have any unsolved haikus?

Oh, monster...I don't know. I think it's a dwellar, but who? Hmmmmm.

infinite monkey 08-20-2011 10:56 AM

Breast, right? I don't know. I don't know from strokes. ;)

Hell, I never would have gotten it if Clod hadn't thought of it.

Good one.

jimhelm 08-20-2011 12:11 PM

50 cent coin? Five dollar note? I'm not familiar with which pic is on which bit of currency. Am I close?

monster 08-23-2011 10:38 PM

nope

Just thinking out loud here...

Five ... number of beastmonster clan, perhaps.
bob ... if not currency, then what? bobbing in water? Swimming again? If so, could "one piece" refer to the swimsuit?

denoting the distinguished ... blank ...

oral recov'ry ... dental visit? Tooth fairy (link money?)

Nope, I'm done. Cluesies?

ZenGum 08-24-2011 07:03 AM

These should be a bit easier.

Eerie occurings
in your suburban district.
Who shall you summon?

Answer without words.
