The jokes on you! There's no such thing as the giant clam rules. It's just some control method invisioned by the CIA during the 70's to make sure people wouldn't riot over gas shortages and believe ELP's <i>Love Beach</i> was a masterful album.

[Del Snizz]

I have to go out of town this weekend, and I'll respond to (I won't promise to answer) your questions at a later time. Will I get another profound message this Sunday? Unlikely, but slightly less so than yesterday. For anyone who might have intentions of locating and breaking into one of my legal residences in order to rummage through my possessions in search of the vanished holiday, I can assure you that you won't find it (though you may just be welcomed in and joined in your efforts). I can also tell you that I won't be taking Christmas with me, unless of course, I should die, in which case you'll never find it.

For now, just try to digest what I've already given you a bit longer, and remember the old saying "nonurumadventum". Of course, the Romans didn't put spaces between their words. Who invented that? How did they write their E's? It's no easy task to just ask them (and it doesn't really matter anyway), so I'll ask <i>you</i> again. Paper might help. You might also want to check your numbers. Mine too, for that matter.

[Steffox]

Another random guess from me. If you try and chisel the letter E into something you're better off just writing an arrow pointing left, like <-, only tighter. Does this mean he's pointing at something?
I'm so behind it's not even funny anymore O_O

hah, Yams wins.

I think Bruckner could elucidate this riddle.

[UWAOOOOU]

*singing*
Christmas tiiiime is once a year,
Every creature holds it dear,
Every animal big or small,
Christmas means the world to us all-

Its once a year,
Its christmas time
when we hear about how christmas only comes.....once a yeeeear.

[KentaRawr!]

This is so simple.

Christmas is only a day, and a day never comes twice. We only made it seem so by having years, months, weeks, etc. So, Jesus stole it when he was born, as he took Christmas with him after that day!

I am SO witty!

[Doomie]

My guess is that the person who isn't playing fairly is Primus Inter Pares.

[Slade]

It's in my garage. Want me to go get it? I was going out there anyhow....

[Del Snizz]

Wait, so am I dead?

Could be. I sure hope not, though. The last thing we need right now is a zombie invasion.

Well, I've looked into the riddle, (And now, I wanna buy that Exeter book of Riddles). But anywho... There have been different translations of the riddle. While some do translate into something that contains both a man and a woman at the beginning, others have just women.

The word <i>rinc</i> can mean 'warrior' as well as simply 'man', so it's conceivable that there need not be a male person involved. Of course, it's conceivable that there might not be a person involved at all. Maybe the different parts of the riddle have to be taken differently. And maybe I've already indicated which part you should be thinking about.

Siren. Siren is a summon from FFVIII. FFVIII sucks. Just like prostitutes. I GOT IT! Christmas is in Del Snizz's pants!

How odd that two of you have given the same answer. It's not in my pants. It's not in <i>my</i> pants either. It is, however, in Squeegee's pants, but I suppose that's not much help, is it?

EDIT: Seriously, why is 'you' always in italics?

Seriously, it isn't.

So, wait, if you're running down the road at 5 miles per hour, and a wheel falls of your canoe, how many flapjacks does it take to shingle a dog house? And wouldn't the birds eat the pancakes?

How many? I would recall what you have to say to the parrot at the Mayan temple. And whether the birds would eat the pancakes depends on what state they're in. These birds had better watch out, too, because people can eat them on Fridays. Sort of like capybaras, whipped or not.

The next clue is about the letter E. While it is possible that when he gave us that ‘clue’, he was referring to replacing the letter E with something else, I think we should dig deeper; don’t forget Snizz is much smarter than that...or is he? I decided to go slightly deeper into the Greek Letter E: Epsilon, as well as looking slightly further into the history of the letter.

A good effort, but you shouldn't dig deeper until you've scratched the surface. Which surface? I've already said. The history of the letter you're looking for doesn't go back to the Greeks. It doesn't go back very far at all.

All I know is that Ovid was a very famous poet around the time of Jesus. He wrote most of his poems about love and such. ... His most famous piece of work was Metamorphoses. I don’t feel like looking into it, but when I do, I’ll be sure to post anything interesting.

You don't have to look very hard. You might brush up on your Latin anyway, though. Don't worry about what Ovid says; worry about what Ovid means. And then worry about what I say and what that means.

If you try and chisel the letter E into something you're better off just writing an arrow pointing left, like <-, only tighter.

Do <i>you</i> write with a chisel?

I think Bruckner could elucidate this riddle.

Surely Brutwo can as well. You're certainly closer to the starting point.

Christmas is only a day, and a day never comes twice. We only made it seem so by having years, months, weeks, etc. So, Jesus stole it when he was born, as he took Christmas with him after that day!

What you say has a certain amount of truth to it, but as far as I know, Christmas never belonged to Jesus. The one keeping it until I stole it was John Frum.

Be seeing you.

10-11-01 doesn't hold much significance as a palindrome as it does a binary representation of other numbers. Some elucidations:

101101 can be split into 101 101 - the binary representation is 55.

The traditional way to read binary is in hex - 10 1101 -> 2D.

Or split it along the date lines: 10 11 01 -> 231.

231 is one of the eight area codes of the state of Michigan, in the US.

CHRISTMAS IS IN PESHAWBESTOWN!!!!111

Best town name ever.

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Didn't he just say it's in Squeeg's pants?

but I suppose that's not much help, is it?

There are two things wrong with this, one of which I've implied and the other of which I've...uh...<i>ex</i>plied in various places.

Didn't he just say it's in Squeeg's pants?

I'm sure you've seen the articles in the scientific journals, but on or about the night of April 20, 2001, it was discovered that Squeegee's pants encompass the entire universe.

Did I even post in this thread? O_o

Edit: no, I didn't really read it either, so I might be missing something.
