If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Daisy Jane!

I have big plans for Accomplishing Things today. We'll see how that goes.

Jesse are you still at your parents?

We have to clean, pack and go back down the mountain which is good and bad. It's amazing how much crap we generate.

I am home, thank goodness.

This is a new one for me. I'm posting via SAS's free wireless in mid-Atlantic. Very civilized airline.

Spent a odd, cold, dark Thanksgiving in Stockholm. Had Baltic herring and reindeer for Thanksgiving dinner. I was there for the strange European custom where they bring in an outside scholar to give Ph.D. candidates a public examination before giving them the degree. Too hours of questions in a foreign language (English, because I was the examiner) in front of an audience of fifty people. Chilling prospect. I'm so happy that we don't do the same the US.

Puzzle questions:

The only ones I have left are the poker star between the two Phils, the expression connecting boot and operating system, the song and the band between drugs and bomb, the clue to the left of plastic surgery, and the location of MASH.

None of the previous clues have helped, and I've looked for things like the MASH location to no avail. At this point, I just want to fill in the answers and be odne with it, move on to the meta, and then, you know, life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

megan,
for the location of M*A*S*H, the spelling is tricky. Try the one on the Wikipedia page.

On the last one, it is what you think it is, megan.

Thanks dcp, for some reason I was sure it was Panmunjam. That town doesn't look or sound at all familiar.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Megan, for the others, the first is a poker player with a nickname suggesting he talks a lot; for the second, combine boot with the second word from a term for someone who never pays for himself. For the 4th, think somone who has had a lot of plastic surgery (male).

Back with the 3rd hints in a moment. Nicole broke down the one directly right of drugs here: Nicole "Natter 48 Contiguous States of Denial" Nov 25, 2006 7:53:04 pm PST

Once you have that, try googling the phrase, using quotation marks.
