Same place:

[hitssquad]

Not in Alaska.

 

[hitssquad]

This place has a special name that is not the same as the name of the volcano it is on. To say this name, you have to cuss.

 

[wolram]

Not me.
That was a pretty dirty one for those of us who refuse to Google answers. By the way, the Chewie version of the name is spelled 'Wookiee'.


Oh yeah, one more just on principle:

I did not know that nongooglers existed
i can not imagine life without my google, i would have nothing left to
play with

 

[hitssquad]

It snows there, too.

[hitssquad]

The name of the Volcano this place is on is similar to the name of a famous television dog.

 

[honestrosewater]

Lassen Peak?

 

[honestrosewater]

Or Lassen Park. I found the same picture. :) Bump@ss Hell

 

[hitssquad]

But what is the specific name of this place, Rose?

 

[hitssquad]

Who discovered this place, Rose? What happened to him after he accidentally stepped into a boiling mud pit?

 

[Danger]

i would have nothing left to
play with

Not a Chuck Berry fan, huh?

And again, just because.

 

[hitssquad]

Yes. Bumpass Hell -- named after Kendall Vanhook Bumpass "who discovered it and lost his leg as a result of burns suffered when stepping into a thermal pool."

It's your party, Rose.

 

[honestrosewater]

Kendall Vanhook Bumpass. He lost a leg.

 

[hitssquad]

Kendall Vanhook Bumpass. He lost a leg.

As the sign says, watch your children and stay on the boardwalk.

 

[honestrosewater]

Okay, I'll think of one for the purists.

 

[hitssquad]

Mt. Lassen erupted in 1915. In 1916 it was made a national park.

--
Lassen Volcanic National Park, located in north central California at the southern end of the Cascade mountain range, is the only national park containing a volcano which has erupted in the twentieth century.
--

Until St. Helens in 1980, it had remained the most recent eruption in the United States.

I can not think where to start with this one, a base ball stadium in new
orleans?

 

[honestrosewater]

This is a word association clue for the non-googlers. I don't think google will help much, and it's all pretty much common knowledge anyway. Here's another:

gray baseball
southern french
holmes learning

 

[hitssquad]

holmes learning

Elementary.

 

[hitssquad]

I can not think where to start with this one, a base ball stadium in new orleans?

Southern French is creole.

 

[honestrosewater]

Sorry, I forgot about this.
Nothing right or close so far. You're connecting the clues in the wrong way. Here's another:

gray baseball
southern french
holmes learning
liberty arch

 

[honestrosewater]

No one? Not even guesses? Ugh, here's more:

gray baseball
southern french
holmes learning
liberty arch
ding bend

 

[hitssquad]

Sagrada Familia?

 

[honestrosewater]

Sagrada Familia?

Correct! Okay, no, and that's not funny. Okay, a little funny.

 

[honestrosewater]

Okay, hitssquad should definitely get this.
There was a big book about IQ by the same name.
It's two words.
The first word: Elisha Gray, southern [blank], Sherlock Holmes, The Liberty [blank], Ding!
The second word: something thrown in baseball, French [blank], learning [blank], arch, bend.

 

[brewnog]

A bell curve!

 

[honestrosewater]

Three cheers for brewnog!
Was that really so difficult?

Elisha Gray- vs. Alexander Graham Bell
southern belle
Sherlock Holmes- Watson, Bell's assistant
The Liberty Bell
Ding!- a sound a bell makes.

something thrown in baseball- curve ball
French curve
learning curve
arch, bend- synonyms or things that curve.

Okay, I'm free. bye bye now.

 

[brewnog]

Ok, this one will be easy for many of you.

If this is too easy for you, keep quiet about what it is, and let the others have a go!
