A stick for hittin’ (nibbish)
Lol. I love that both decided to redneck their clues up with the contractions.
The Brooks Maki Award goes to….
Siren:
WEEEEOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO (nibbish)
Illusion:
Something a hooker does for money. Or candy. (mbnovak)
Novak: I’m still laughing about screwing that clue up. Time was running short, I panicked, didn’t look at the word again… he is 100% going to write “trick”…
Ron Howard: He does.
Novak: …and not even try another guess…
Ron Howard: He does not.
Novak: …because he ‘knows’ it’s right from that clue. This is funny.
Ron Howard: Almost as funny as the actual line from the script. “Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money. [GOB notices children in earshot] …Or candy!”
I created the categories months ago, and it never crossed my mind this would be a wonderland category for Novak, and that he’d be paired with someone who would get the references.
I will be emailing the winners to try to schedule times when you can play the Winner’s Circle together LIVE with your partner while I am present to moderate.

So I made the correct AD reference for “Illusion.” Did my partner get it?
You did not. She got it right anyway.
i might have missed baton. also, hey, what’s all this other stuff going on at this site?
oh yeah, and WEEEEOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO was golden.
It’s all those puzzles. At this puzzle site. Specifically advertised in the email I sent you. Before I ever sent out an email about playing Pyramid.
Yup, definitely didn’t guess illusion
I was laughing so hard to myself about that. I so wanted to tell you what a boneheaded mistake I’d made. It’s still hilarious to me.
Can we get a list of all the answers? I’m sure I didn’t do a great job guessing on the cell phone thing (me being a cell phone Luddite and all).
