i though for a moment ,and If its what i think it is, i must have thought right,
I could be wrong, and in that case I am thinking my thoughts might be wrong
do you get marks for thinking the right answer?

 

[honestrosewater]

Sure, special people gets marks for everything.

What do you think it is? What happened to people actually trying to guess the answer??

 

[wolram]

The Marx brothers had shows, i can only remember, Duck soup, but
horse something, and chicken something featured somewhere.

it's a zoo

 

[honestrosewater]

Oh, I was going to have so much fun with this one too.
Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, and Duck Soup. And many, many more. They're hilarious. They're movies, BTW. Did you see them on what are youmacallit- Vaudeville?

Have you seen them recently? i used to love watching them but haven't seen
any of their stuff for years.

 

[Danger]

No to the first thing Danger says.

You mean it's not Artman's bedroom?

 

[wolram]

Can not think of a good question so this will have to do.

Use this for making water ? what a waste, how hot was it?

 

[Danger]

I know what it is!

Sorry about the insult. You're naturally the first Brit that comes to mind, and that 'wanker' gag just wouldn't have sounded right in reference to a Yank.

If by 'good' you mean 'incomprehensible', then you're doing just fine.

Is that supposed to have a double meaning?

 

[honestrosewater]

I watch them often. Duck Soup is my favorite. We watched them as a family and have them memorized, so we'll sometimes just start running through a movie at a restaurant or something, especially to embarrass the young ones.

See, some men are dependable :)

 

[Danger]

If you mean the original post, sort of. It was just my way of showing the other people who knew the answer that I also knew, plus maybe give a cryptic clue to the others.
If you're referring to the one that you quoted, no. If you can come up with a second one, more power to you.

 

[wolram]

Have to go for a bevy, sugar cane, i hope catch you later.

 

[honestrosewater]

Pregnancy?
Okay, maybe it's time for me to call it a day.

 

[Danger]

If I didn't already know what it was, I can't think how you'd find out, except by showing the picture to people till you found someone who recognized it.

I was thinking that an enlargement showing the spark plugs in more detail might do it.

In reference to Wolram's clues, the only thing that comes to mind at all is a 'cloud-seeding' aeroplane, and I know that's wrong.

Well if you get the temperature wrong in this process, the produce from this apparatus, "the thing i want", will make your mind cloudy.

When you say "making water" do you mean:

1) peeing?

2) heating water?

3) making H₂O from some something else?

Sounds like distilling the water out of some kind of alcoholic brew, instead of distilling the alcohol out.

Close.
and the "thing i whant is" ?

 

[zoobyshoe]

and the "thing i whant is" ?

Scotch whiskey? Guiness stout? Champagne?

 

[wolram]

Think about temperature, one gives water, one gives a headache, i want the
apparatus.

 

[zoobyshoe]

A still...?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I think Moonbear still has a question due.

 

[Andy]

I can't believe there was one that i knew and i wasnt online to get it!

 

[brewnog]

No worries, I'm still happy that we are allowed to say "wanker" in here without Evo telling us off!

She may not know what it means. It's not used here, in the US. It took me a while to work out a translation.

silly tossars.
