Ok, I'm here with two As:

I / --- / ---'D / ---- / R-A- / C-T- / IN / --AC- / CHI---N

simona

Looks pretty incomprehensible to me...

How about a Y?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

oh, it's comprehensible, but it seems more difficult I thought...
But we have a Y too, Anna!

I / --- / Y--'D / ---- / R-A- / C-T- / IN / --AC- / CHI---N

simona

/me scratches head...

E?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

O?

good choices, Anna and Andreia!

I / -ET / YO-'D / -OO- / REA- / C-TE / IN / --AC- / CHI--ON



I'm very very sorry, I hadn't put the first T in my prevous posts, I have simply forgotten! probably because of it it's difficult to understand! Again, I'm sorry!!!

/me blushing.../

I bet you'd look real cute in black chiffon.

Brava Hazel! And again sorry for my mistake, girls! this is from the beginning of "The phoenix", when Clark's trying to find the courage to ask Lois out.
You're up, Hazel!

simona

Yay!

Here we go:

----,/ ----- /-- /-- /----./ - /-- /---/ - /-------/ ----.

I guess... H?

perhaps T?

One H for Andreia, and several Ts for Simona:

----, / T---T / -- / -- / TH--. / - / -- / --T / ---- / T------ / ----.

Now... A?

and... N?

N and A both, but that will have to hold you until morning my time:

----, / T---T / -- / -N / TH--. / - / A- / N-T / ---- / T----A- / -A--.

Have fun

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT <G>

Initially, I was capping off these Hangman threads before 100 posts because I had a vague memory that the Caption Competition threads killed the mbs briefly when they went over that limit, way back when.

However, soon as I noticed that the last thread accidentally got to 105 posts before it was closed and there was no horrific meltdown <g>, I got to wondering if my memory was right. So I emailed Annette to ask.

Good news is - Annette is pretty sure there are no limits. And anyway, even if there are, she's invited us to test them to the max.

So, from this point on - no need to close this down and start a new thread - just keep on using this one and let's see how far it will go.

LabRat

Um, E?

Jill

And if I remember correctly...the cap on the number of posts in an individual thread in the caption competition came about because of the pictures - they take a while to load for some people and were causing some minor issues in the threads once you got above so many pictures - hence the cap. Not an issue here since we are having fun with words. <g>

M?

good night,
simona
(very happy nothing is going to happen because of the over 100 posts! I was sincerely worried.)

U?

Two Es, three Ms, and one U:

----, / T-U-T / ME / -N / TH--. / - / AM / N-T / ---- / T----A- / MA-E.

Is this enough to get the quote?

Hazel

Lois, trust me on this. I am not your typical male.

Is this it?

Tricia

Yes, Tricia! Clark to Lois, in the Pilot.

You're up next!

Hazel

Thanks, Hazel!

Tricia

It's over. Superman's gone and there's nothing we can do about it.

Is it right?

That quote is from Man of Steel Bars, Clark speaking to Lois when he's quitting.

Like Tricia hasn't showed up yet and it's a slow and rainy afternoon here, :rolleyes: I'll pick up and go with this one.

Right, Anna!

Thanks, Andreia!! I love this quote too

Now, a favourite of mine:

It's not too long, right?

See ya,

Too long? It's shorter than mine, surely.

Now... how about A?

How about a T?

That's because it is greek

I can understand because it is a favourite of yours!

simona

Hehe, that was easy, wasn't it
'Witness' was the first L&C episode I watched from the beginning till the end, and this quote made an impression to me.

You're next, Simona!
AnnaBtG.

Yes, Simona!

Your turn.

Tricia

Thanks Tricia!

-------- / -- / --- / -----, / - / ----- / ---- / ------

simona

Simona,

I think you should start your game on a new thread. We already have 96 replies (counting this one).

malu

Hey malu,

We discussed earlier that we don't believe that we need to start new threads for this game before reaching 100 - don't think we'll actually break the boards. So we're just gonna keep going and see what happens. So looks like lucky number 13 is gonna stay around for a while. :p

I'm gonna guess...S?

Jill

Sorry.

Missed LabRat's announcement (been kind of busy these days).

OK, I'm pretty sure that was correct. Here's a short one.

yes, it's correct! And these words are repeated by Clark-Kal El to the Elders.

Now, I guess S!

In ode to your teeth they're so perfect and sharp, I love you so much, I wish you were back.

Sorry, I really have no idea!

Tricia

I think it's Victor from "The return of the prankster", isn't it?

simona

You've got the right guy, but the quote's off. Do you want to keep guessing letters, or do you just want me to tell you what it is?

Jill :p

Jill, I knew the quote was wrong.

I?

Tricia

N?

An ode to your teeth, they're so perfect and shiny. I love you so much, I wish you were mine.

Is it right, DocJill? Or not?

Hey!!!!! We'll take it! It's actually 'miny' (but since that's not actually a word.... <g>).

Next quote!!!

And it was definitely a good guess with as few letters as we had, Tricia!

Thanks, DocJill! Next is huge:

it's something about Lois, her car and some aliens, isn't it?

From "Contact":

My car stalled, a big white light engulfed me, I saw some aliens and I woke up in my front seat three hours later but it only seemed like two seconds. Did I mention floating?

is it right?

BTW, just wondering but was anyone planning on starting a new thread?? I see we are already over 160 posts, and I thought they didn't want us going over 99 on any threads? Just curious?

SuperGEM,

See LabRat's post in the first page of this thread. They decided to keep going until the board limit (which apparently is not 99).

I asked the same thing when they reached 100.

malu

P.S.: F?

Oops, sorry I missed that.
