Also, I still don't have the clue that connects acid to cocktails or the one in cocktails that connects to line.

And I've only got about half of board games filled in.

I like NUMB3RS, but it's a damned coy show, isn't it? Implied violence (I mean, it's not on a CSI level) and kissy face that wouldn't get 17 year old you in trouble with your parents.

Which reminds me! Damn, I'm riled at the movie ratings board. The amount of violence allowed in their "Approved for all ages" trailers was really high! Violence I'm okay with seeing, but the idea that it was palatable to an 8 year old...just not right.

Blood Diamond? The hell? Kidnapped kids, explosions, and people being shot? How is that okay?

Sean, for the automobiles one, think about what both those things are examples of.

I'm still trying to figure out a bunch of the same drugs ones that you are, and a good number of the board games.

Thanks Hil. That should have been obvious.

The one that connects acid to cocktails is a type of cocktail that's got Acid in the name. It's got Malibu and pineapple , usually.

The one between cocktail and line , I really don't know what the connection is. Think about cocktails other than drinks .

Going back to Thanksgiving Day drama, we had an interesting happening this year. I was at my dad's, spending the day with him, stepmom, stepsister and both stepbrothers (and their assorted spouses and fiancees), and dinner went fine. They were gathered around the table discussing Christmas plans (one of their cousins wanted dinner arrangements for Xmas settled by the end of the day) when the middle child, my stepbro Rich, threw in a "fuck" in discussing his work schedule. His sister mildly scolded him for swearing (other stepbro's 14-y.o. adopted daughter was sitting next to Rich), and he went off on her. At first, I thought he was using four-letter words as a joke, but it soon became obvious that he was in a full-on rage that I hadn't heard from him since he was in his mid-20s. He then took his fiancee and stomped out of the house. A few minutes later, my stepmom looked at all of us and asked, "What the hell set him off?!?"

We were all getting ready to leave by them anyway, but that sort of ruined any sort of party atmosphere, so we all were in our cars in 15 minutes.

That should have been obvious.

I got real used to saying that throughout the game.

Sean, for the cocktails cube, think of a type of weapon that's also called a cocktail.

Oh, and in the drugs cube, google zombie dust. If I remember right, it's an ingredient used to make it.

In the board games square, any hints for the one off to the right of strategies , or the one above and slightly to the left of the center?

Hil, for the one off to the right of strategies, check wikipedia for German-style board games. I think I originally just googled strategy board games and then linked to wikipedia from there.

I'm not positive about which other box you're talking about.
