You Don't Say

[Telo]

I'm playing with a group and my daughter is typing for me right now. She also came up with the name and clues for the last puzzle.

[saulres]

John Wilkes Booth.


1. A beverage
2. _ Alamos
3. Science Fiction publisher
4. French target-shooting competition

[Telo]

My clues gave it away?

Your clues didn't give it away. We had no idea except that if the first clue wasn't -a- or -an- (it wouldn't be an because the 2nd clue was fly) it had to be -The-

and the last clue was -stir- and even though Jamaica wasn't on our list of island counrties we figured out that it was some sort of

mon

ster.

We got it from ~The fly ...... monster~ without having any idea what the answers to the middle clues were.

But now everyone has left and I'm stuck on the next one.

[saulres]

Hint: AFAIK, not everyone left.

Los

[Telo]

Hint: AFAIK, not everyone left.

What I meant was, there was a group of people sitting around my computer trying to figure out the clues to your last puzzle. Once we figured it out they all left and now I'm left alone trying to decipher the next one.

[saulres]

Then my AFAIK was wrong

I had assumed something about one person playing with you based on what you said. That assumption was apparently incorrect.

^That's a hint by the way

[Telo]

drink
los
Baen
skeet

[saulres]

For #1, be more specific.

[Telo]

hmmmm....
I have no clue who this person is so I have to think of names that end in los

only name I can think of is Carlos but car isn't a drink..

Beerlos
winelos
poplos
milklos --- Miklos? I don't know Miklos Benskei? A Russian athlete maybe?
juicelos
rumlos

[saulres]

I have to think of names

Not exactly...

Once again it's not a specific name. Well, part of it is, but that's -- I think I've said enough!

[Telo]

oooooh kay.
back to the drawing board.

[Telo]

TEA?

Is it Telo something?

Was that the clue? Because I was the person that didn't leave? LOL!

[saulres]

Syllables, too. The second one isn't "lo"

[saulres]

EBWOP: I didn't see your edit before I replied. The answer is not you, and wasn't based on you not leaving. See 331.

[Telo]

Ok well then I'll toss out my theory that it was

Telo's bane

LOL!

[saulres]

LOL.

Telo's yes.

Bane no.

Look at the clues again -- there's really only one possible answer. (And focus on the third syllable, the 4th is another obscure one like in my first round, although I've verified it can be found by using the correct Google search).

Telo's Daughter?

Tea / Los / DAW / (no clue)

[saulres]

Ding ding ding!

Tir (1st disambiugation)

I thought from the way Telo said 325 that she had a very young daughter living with her and thought "Aww, how cute! I'll put one in just for her."

Then the next day I looked for information on Telo's daughters and oops

[TMTOLBTWNTOF]

I had Telo's from the start lol

[saulres]

You just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better

[RichardGHP]

You just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better

It doesn't, but it's true nonetheless.

[Telo]

Telo's Daughter?

Oh well then I was close with Telo's bane

JUST KIDDING

edit:
She wants me to tell you that she's not a 'very young daughter'

*stage whisper*
she's 14

[xtopherusD]

1. Don't go!
2. There's seven of these
3. Spelled with a U here, but only an O in America

[TheIrishPope]

Stop
Is "ocean" only one syllable?
Can only think of "colour"
