Re: Pictionary
 

I was wondering about that as well (found a lot of those and liked for instance this title :)), but with so much choice, I figured it had to be something else. Haven't found anything yet though :)!

Re: Pictionary
 

@rbud, it's not a children's book this time. :p

Some hints:
The lion and rabbit could be substituted with other types of animals. And the book title has only 1 word. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

That would suggest the answer has something to do with hunting or stalking a prey?

There are too many 'hunt' books to search (I suppose every detective and thriller ever written has the word 'hunt' in its blurb, so search machines find them all, not to mention writers called Hunt or Hunter :lol:), I found a few Stalkers (for instance here, here and here, but though Faye Kellerman is rather well known they do not quite seem to jump out as the answer, so for the moment I'll go with Prey by Michael Crighton. That one at least came on top of the search list ;)!

Re: Pictionary
 

And you're absolutely right to choose the top searched book with a hunting/stalking themeas your answer. :biggrin:


Your turn, Helanren. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

I keep telling myself I should prepare one or two of these in advance, but somehow I never do.... :)! Then when I had one, Nord was down, so I had to go to Jimbo's alternative (to solve another one :lol:, means I need to make one up again...)

Anyway, there Rbud told us we had to be old to solve her clue, so I decided to come up with a real oldie but goldie:

Songtitle

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...csongtitle.jpg

Re: Pictionary
 

I can recognize certain oldies when they are played but I don't necessarily know their titles... can you tell I have no idea what the answer is? :tongue:

I see a bird singing outside a tea shop but I can't find any song titles that fit that description... how about "Bird song" by Grateful Dead?

Re: Pictionary
 

Not old enough ;)!

Re: Pictionary
 

There are these but I don't think any of them are right? :p

Re: Pictionary
 

Nope, the songtitle contains the name of the bird, not "bird" itself. And there is another clue in the picture.....;)

edit: also, I just found out the song is the title of a film as well, if that's any help. Not that it is a very well known film I suppose (at least, I didn't know of it :)), but it has its own Wikipedia page.

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

Not old enough.... :)
- and it is not an American song, let alone a Texan one! You'll need more than just a 'T' from that clue.....

Re: Pictionary
 

Would this be

"A Nightingale Sang on Berkeley Square" by Maschwitz/Sherwin/Strachey?

This is the Glenn Miller Orchestra:
YouTube - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square/Glenn Miller and his O

Lovely song! I like it very much :)

And here's some nice trivia about Gunter's Tea Shop

Re: Pictionary
 

Actually, I think it's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" ;), but yes, I was looking for the WWII song, most famously performed by Vera Lynn of course.

This is how Berkeley Square looked in the 18th century, you can see it didn't change that much :lol:!

I was wondering if somebody would google Gunter's Tea Shop, nice to see you found it though :biggrin:

Your turn next :jossun:!

Re: Pictionary
 

Well, the 'i' is right next to the 'o', so count that as a typo :lol:

A while ago I finished this wonderful book:

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ictionary1.jpg

Re: Pictionary
 

@Helanren, I thought Gunter's is a made up name so I never thought to google that! :lol: Btw, the song you chose reminds me of Benny Goodman's music. :)


And Fleur, good work on the right answer and great drawing btw (I like the rich texture of the grass :)).

Is it "The Kite Runner"?

Re: Pictionary
 

Indeed it is "The Kite Runner"! Way to go rjk :)

Thanks for the compliment btw. :embarasse

Re: Pictionary
 

I'll return later with a picture. :)

[EDIT]:
Another book and here's the clue:

Re: Pictionary
 

Love that picture for its simplicity :)! Have no idea what it is yet, haven't even had time to really search, just wanted to mention it!

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

@Helanren, thank you. :)

@rbud, sorry, no. Pea isn't the exact word that's in the title... :)

I know vegetables don't come in uniform shapes (not counting those canned ones :p) but the snap pea is looking kind of peculiar, no?

Re: Pictionary
 

It's probably not the correct answer (since the 'action' part is missing from the picture), but after watching the Olympic hockeymatches I thought your bean looks like a stick, so how about "Snap Shot"??

edit: A better guess is probably "Snap Hook" by John R. Corrigan :lol:

Re: Pictionary
 

Good try but sorry, no. :)
"Snap" isn't in the title... think of another word that is related to peas. And I intentionally drew the pea into that shape which resembles something


On a side note, isn't it the same thing with football? Funny how American football is called football since most of the time the players carry/throw the ball around inside of kicking it. :lol:

Re: Pictionary
 

Even having looked at its page at Amazon, I have no idea what this book is about, but Jpod seems to fit the bill, so for what it's worth that's my next guess :)

Re: Pictionary
 

*ding, ding, ding, ding, ding*

You're right!



Your turn, helanren. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

Hmmm, it's been a few days; maybe Helanren missed my earlier post. I'm going to PM him to let him know it's his turn. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

OK, sorry about the delay ;); didn't have anything ready and had no time to make s'thing up, but here is my next

Booktitle

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...ren/picpic.jpg

Re: Pictionary
 

Bows, arrows and target... could it be all in a day's work for an... archer? ;) Is it Archer's "Kane & Abel"?

Good (& easy :lol:) clues, Helanren. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Can't have you all cursing at me for every picture I put up :lol:!

Archer's "Kane & Abel" it is, so over to you :jossun:!

Re: Pictionary
 

Not *every* picture!
j/k
:biggrin:
-
I'll return later with a clue.

[EDIT]

Thing:

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

My first association was with the type of public advertisements we have in Holland at the moment: since smoking was officially banned in all restaurants, cafes etc. last summer, we get these ads with disappointed sigarettes that no longer can enter their favourite places (can't blame them :)!).

However, stealing from rbud, I'll go with "Hot rod" ;)

Re: Pictionary
 

Sorry for the delay, guys; was busy over the weekend and didn't get a chance to log-on. :)

Good try, rbud. You did guess in the right direction but Helanren has the correct answer - it is indeed hot rod. :biggrin:

Over to you, Helanren. :)

Re: Pictionary
 

I'll pass to rbud, as she came up with the basic idea anyway :)!

Re: Pictionary
 

:shock: Oh dear, I'm not really ready!

But I'll post this little one to keep it going!

It's a song title. Probably not very difficult! :doubt:

(I'm so bad at making them difficult!) :lol9:

Attachment 35784

Re: Pictionary
 

Um, it's not very difficult :no: - you've got me stumped! There isn't a song called "evil sunset"... I'll google some more & maybe inspiration will strike! :p

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

Aha, so it's not a sunset (thought it was with the orange, pinkish colour :p) but rather a moon. Bad moon? Evil moon? :thinking: Is the background scenery significant?

Re: Pictionary
 

Everybody knows that at harvest time, we have to work long into the night, so obviously, the answer must be "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young:
Attachment 35836
And even if, by the remotest chance, that answer wasn't completely correct, weren't you glad to see that clip, or rather, to hear the song again :)???
