KLM - 2

Ugh, sorry.

Really thought that was good.

Pilot

What else?

KLM is a dutch airline

pilot is a lock but not positive why KLM; they may have some orange and I can't think of an orange airline; got a gut feeling about orange

let's look at the list:

Figure - Earhart, Sully, Lindbergh, etc
Hollywood - LAX or a movie title like Aviator or Airplane!
Horn - maybe African airline to bring in Horn of Africa?
Jam - ATC for Air Traffic Control?
Orange - maybe KLM? maybe flame for pilot light and orange flame?
Pilot - lock
Pistol - hijacker
Shop - not ours due to n-1
Stream - not sure; maybe a 21 Pilots or Stone Temple Pilots reference or maybe a netflix show about air travel, but hollywood makes that tougher
Telescope - astronaut
Water - seaplane

Bump

Still on pilot orange bottles

Pilot
Orange

Good game. Such a back and forth. First one to miss lost, I guess

Nice, good stuff. I had no idea KLM used orange, but it was such a specific clue that it made no sense for anything other than pilot/orange. Great clues, Neil!

I was so confused by this, because it seemed to me like eb wasn’t on board with NY, Zurvan agreed, and then it was bolded first haha.

I read it as him contrasting New York and Hollywood against each other, in reference to the California 0 clue. That was my original thought, that I wasn't able to post.

That's their Orange Pride alternate livery, Orange being the national color of the Netherlands going back to William of Orange.

Well done blue and unlucky red.

You nailed the first 2 clues and eb had the last 3 words in the POE of 4 to end the game.

Can you think of any better clue than tipping for our last 3 words?

Yeah when I saw that clue drop, I estimated red hat a 25% chance to win. It's crazy it's that low, but that's where 4 choose 3 gets you.

I don't even know what's better, though.

Round
Figure
Shop

Maybe a store for plus-sized women like Torrid, but that's so hard to clue with this gang. I had to research to get that name.

Maybe Clearance?

GG all. Figure is such a nasty word.

It's vague enough to potentially hit everything, yet it's really difficult to specifically clue for.

XXL could possibly work. doesn't hit capital at least

How did you mean this?

Round, figure, shop - maybe pear?

Oooh I like that

Yeah, I thought this was avoiding New York.

Hits all three pretty well, but zero chance it works this game with Orange and Jam still on the board.
