SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

I thought mallots have a hard rubber head and a wooden handle. I'm about as hands on with repairs and crafts as a 2 year old.

I'm thinking of sports mallets like in polo or croquet lol

It's definitely mallet right, everytime I type mallot it suggests mallet instead

Have you got any idea what that weird shape with a flat surface thingy is called?

you're probably right on the spelling. no clue on the word you can't think of.

I'm 99% certain it's the thing I can't remember the name of

h11 to left of w9 is still the 2-part way to go - Hammersmith/Workbench

also h11 to the left of t4 works - Hammersmith/Tool

or h11 to the left of t5 may be more direct way with t5 standing in for w9

Hammersmith/Table/Workbench

I4/S5 iron/steel maybe

No idea on the other clues, maybe the possible illegal I5 clue could help if we can figure it out

Maybe I will eventually remember what it's called but it's not coming to me right now

The YouTube algorithm has been showing me professional wrestling videos lately. I was really into it during the heyday of the 80s, with Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Superfly Jimmy Snooka, and a bunch of others.

Do you remember Bret the Hitman Hart? Do you remember his tag-team wrestling partner? The two of them were known as the Hart Foundation.

No idea, only things I know about wrestling are the obvious famous people lol

I'm guessing his partner's nickname is the answer otherwise that was a bit random :p

Yeah, his partner was Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Is that the word you couldn't remember?

Ohhhh aye that's it lol me

Wonder if any of the clues are cartoon related because I remember anvils being dropped on characters heads was a popular gag

anvil

well done!

you got my last post spot on

great job ibd realizing that while we were all talking about cluing hammer and smith, we could just combine them into hammersmith

s7 was stirrup; the 3 ear bones are the hammer, anvil, stirrup, so if we clued hammer and you thought of that definition of hammer, it's another way to get to anvil

i5 is incus which is the scientific name for the ear bone nicknamed anvil; I'd only clue that if one of you were known to be a doctor

and yeah my fun w4 mention was Wile for Wile E Coyote

glad you thought of the name, because otherwise we were gonna have nowhere to go with additional clues; just confirm with table or workbench that you had the right target and wait for you to think of the name I guess

nice one

could he have drawn a picture?

edit: not for the answer, but for bolt to think of the word

I suppose pog can say anything he wants since he's a guesser with no knowledge of the word...so drawing a picture in mspaint and posting it for bolt seems allowable?

Incus isn’t simply the scientific name for the ear bone nicknamed anvil, it’s Latin for “anvil.” Just as it’s illegal to clue apfel for apple (using the codenames example), it shouldn’t be legal to clue incus for anvil.

oh I didn't realize it was latin for anvil; I guess it's illegal then; guess that means if we ever want to clue a scientific name for something we have to double-check that it doesn't mean that thing in latin

Yeah, the only Latin I remember from high school is "amo amas amat". If we ever covered "incus" that's a memory that faded away long ago.

Round 21:

Guessers: bolt/zeus

The Board:

I've sent it to pogcrazy94, insanity31, amazingervin, d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin

NOTE: These are the last 3 cards in the game

s7 confirmer
s8 confirmer

t5 seems good

v9 confirmer

x-post

yeah v7

There’s a W5, but V7 is a better clue and better known

v7 is a lock

w5 was my other confirmer, not that it's needed

maybe i know v7?

s7 goat confirmer
there's an s8 but nowhere near s7 level

oh ok i know the v7 now but idk if i woulda known that before...most people probably would?
