Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a 5hp cyclone, the most powerful dust collector in the world, and would blow your lathe clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel eucky?' Well, do you, punk?

My first girlfriend's mother's cooking.....:doctor::biggrin:

That feeling you have after drinking 6 bottles of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine.

 

[Terredax]

Isn't that a miniature stringed instrument?

I think it's got something to do with a sinus issue--but i can't verify that!!

Whatever it is , it certainly isn`t in my vocabulary . Only reason I can think of why anyone from the EU would want to see KY would be to sample the moonshine .

Just to help you out, here's the answer --

EUCKY = End User Captcha Keying Yahoo.

Like Edward said, easy.

If Edgar needs to check your answer will you be around in 7 1/2 million years?

Ah well, so long and thanks for the fish!

Puzzle 1 Reminder

This is a reminder that Puzzle #1 is still active.

You have until noon CST on Tuesday, Feb 5 to get your entries in.

This one is obviously very easy and someone will win a prize just for sending me an email entry - it could be you!

 

[JessePens]

Either Edgar's idea of very easy is beyond my comprehension, or I'm way overthinking this one.
I'm curious to see what the answer is.

 

[StanBrown]

Hmm...End Users Can Keep Yahoo?

Puzzle #1 is closed

We had 41 entries for Puzzle #1 and almost everyone got the right answer.

The correct answer for "EUCKY" is Eucalyptus.

If your entry included the word "Eucalyptus" in any context, I gave you credit for your answer. If "Eucalyptus" was not included somewhere in your answer, you did not earn a point.

I suspect that some of you simply guessed and that some of you did some Google searching, either of which is fine.

However, the best way to find the right answer would have been to simply follow Mark James' great series on Pen Turning, Lore, Myths & Fables the last couple of months - especially this particular one:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/f18/pen-turning-lore-ix-banjo-oleary-call-kookaburra-158043/

If you had read that particular story, you would have instantly known the correct answer.

Besides the entertainment and historical value of Mark's series, those fables just might contain other valuable information that you may find useful someday.


The Puzzle #1 winner(s) will be announced at the end of all the Puzzle Contests.
