Ok....first game for the Who-villians! There are 20 Christmas related words in this word search. You get one point per word. Please PM me with the words you find.  |

Lemme get this straight...
...They have 10 measly words to unscramble which are so easy that deciphering them only takes a mere glimpse, yet we, the Whoo-villians, either singularly or collectively have to find 20 random words having to do with Christmas without a list, which can be completely be left up to the doer to determine whether or not they actually pertain to Christmas. What about "fun" (it's in there, and Christmas is fun); or there's the "dirt" that Santa's boots leave behind; the "sore" muscles one gets from all that tree-trimming, gift-carrying, egg-nog hoisting, and whatnot. Then there's the "hoe", which would, of course, be Mama because she kissed Santa underneath the mistletoe and I'm sure Daddy had no clue what was going on. "Poe" can be Christmassy too, because with all the damn birds hanging about in that pear tree, I'm sure there's gotta be a raven in there somewhere.
And I suppose this is like the whole "tombstone"/"gravestone" thing, in which you are looking for exact answers, and not our interpretation of what we insist the answers should be.
HA! Just cuz that sounds like a villiany thing to do at this point.....and because we, the Whoo-Villians, either singularly or collectively, get 20 points, and they, the others, only get 10.
Care for a Jack and Pepsi now, Ms. Probstess with the Mostess, to guarantee somehow the points aren't going to even out in the end?
Oh, and Katina....we in this together?

Just thought I'd throw out a little hint. I'm about to give certain other people extra credit for being an over achiever......

Oh, crap. It's that pesky Cave Dwelling (Grrrrr) wrench, isn't it? Is it not enough he's got all the Reese's trees?

Well Ms. Not A Major Award but still looks like one.  Mz Rulz don't care jack about Jack, chocolate is where it's at! Besides, I made good at Halloween with a truckload of the sweet stuff.  And about your complaint. All you had to do was look at the answers and circle them 'cause they are right there on the page in front of you spelled correctly. WE had to decode the scrambly mess and shuffle letters all around into words. AND we had to endure that stress TEN TIMES!! It was like having to do ten puzzles! You only had one! And an easy one at that! |

Oh, and Katina....we in this together? I'm completely at your disposal lovely lady, whatever you wish I'm happy to go along with. I was thinking a team effort would be the best tactic, two heads are better then one, strength in numbers etc, etc ................ of course the fact that you'll probably do twice as good as me never factored into my decision. ;D Ummmmm, "twice as good" that doesn't sound right ....... oh well I'm only a Wombat and it's a well known fact that grammer isn't a Wombat's strong suit.  |

HA! The points aren't going to even out, but that's because us cave people are gonna win 'cause we got an entire seasonal supply of Reeses Tress to dole out as need and points necessitate. BTW Ms Rulz, here, have a Reeses or two just on account I may need a favor or two later on.  |

Trust me. It's possible. And I'm only going to say the who-villians need to get more creative.
Next Puzzle! Unscramble the Christmas Carols.

"Twice as good" sounds perfect to me, Katina. Thank you fellow collaborater, I think one of us will need to be just that to solve this next puzzle, sheesh it looks a right dogs breakfast to me.  |

If a right dog's breakfast means it looks daunting...impossible even...than I'm with you, Katina.
I'm afraid I'm not going to be much of a partner here. I haven't got the time to even ponder this one. Unless you've got something up your sleeve, and your bribery works with the charming Probstess, looks like we'll have to admit defeat on this one.

I took a serious look-see and it is much more daunting that it would appear on the surface. Perhaps an alliance? I understand the time limitation because I’m having the same problems here. The tree is up and 95% decorated, most of the outside lights are up, most of the presents are purchased but none are mailed…etc. And as usual, the last 5% takes 35% of my time. In the back of my head this clock keeps going tick tick tick tick – as if I don’t already know. But I’m not good at saying “Oh well” either. So I propose a truce with point and answer sharing. Just to say it, I found Grandama Got Run Over By A Reindeer, but there are several more letters and it isn't Elmo and Patsy. I don't know what to make of that yet. Anyway, let me know what you think. Because, the way it's going, none of us will survive and instead of bribery, Ms Rulz going to get the goodies because no one is left to defend them.  |

If a right dog's breakfast means it looks daunting...impossible even...than I'm with you, Katina. Yep, that's exactly what it means, and yep again, next to impossible to solve I'm thinking.  I'm afraid I'm not going to be much of a partner here. I haven't got the time to even ponder this one. Unless you've got something up your sleeve, and your bribery works with the charming Probstess, looks like we'll have to admit defeat on this one. Love to be able to say there's something up my sleeve but there's nothing there other then my arm. I did manage to come up with these, though five from forty five ain't gonna earn us many brownie points, but eye fatigue and a nagging headache forced me to give it away I'm afraid ........ wrgamna na iae y ...................... Away In A Manger uohre derrsepnnodhie e tr ddel ....... Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer htinnsle gti ........................... Silent Night el leslgnjib ............................ Jingle Bells twltor o o yhjde ......................... Joy To The World Soooo, I suggest we throw in another case of Jack for the charming (not to mention fair minded, delightful and compassionate) Probstess and see if that helps. P.S. What are your thoughts on the offer of an alliance from the Cave Dweller, seems like fraternisation in my book, and besides, can creatures who live undergroung really be trusted? No offence meant Mr Gr-wrench. |

I'm rooting for you...sort of. I sent the team what I came up via PM so as not to spoil your fun...but you're doing really well. And no, I did not get them all. What I got was a headache. No. Not one bit. We party too much, we're constantly enlarging the place and building more play rooms. And besides that, Ms Rulz likes her Reeses and I ordered extra Reeses Trees straight from the factory so they'd be fresh. Not that they age or anything.  We're completely different from you 'air heads' breathing all that unfiltered noxious methane laden “stuff” you repeatedly inhale. |

I've got some freshly made money here if you'll stop doing such a good job.

Christmas! ACK!!!! I haven't even thought about Christmas. Well, that's not entirely true....I've thought about it, but haven't done a single thing yet!
Oh-my-gosh, Katina! I never would have got those!
Don't know what the time limit on this is - I've got a morning appointment today, and one in the afternoon, with picking up supplies for a project, along with the kids in between. I'll see if I can maybe get a few more done - but even if I have time, I'm doubting it. I think I could have all the time in the world to stare at those things, and still not come up with anything.

Fun, oh yeah I'm having lots of fun, matter of fact I haven't had so much since my last visit to the dentist. And I sympathise with you for the headache, the ache behind my eyes has moved, it's sorta bouncing around inside my cranium now, along with the little white spots on my eyeballs it's kind of a surreal feeling. ;D No. Not one bit. We party too much, we're constantly enlarging the place and building more play rooms. And besides that, Ms Rulz likes her Reeses and I ordered extra Reeses Trees straight from the factory so they'd be fresh. Not that they age or anything. We're completely different from you 'air heads' breathing all that unfiltered noxious methane laden “stuff” you repeatedly inhale. I like the sound of that, may have to consider changing sides.
You're doing really good there, Kat. I took one look and backed out of the thread happy I ain't on this team. Thanks Jox, I do wish I could have done the same though and backed out, this puzzle is a doozie. hmmmmm.... I've got some freshly made money here if you'll stop doing such a good job. [/font][/quote] What, I'm shocked that you'd think I could be bribed ...........errrrr exactly how much money are we talking about? Oh-my-gosh, Katina! I never would have got those! Think I have WAY to much time on my hands Gams.  I'll see if I can maybe get a few more done - but even if I have time, I'm doubting it. I think I could have all the time in the world to stare at those things, and still not come up with anything. I'd tell you my system but it's way to convoluted and would probably make me look like an obsessive to boot. ;D |

You are a genius, Katina. I never would have figured out a single one if you hadn't posted your answers. I assumed the breaks in the letters were breaks between words.
Had a bit of time, and found a few.
mu l nmkgoicaaawtsn syim sa sis - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
tnraanpia iced thg oi mleu mc - It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
oonidslnl ayhst lloci Ja - Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

I'll try to find a few more later if the game is still open. Right now, gotta run.

You are a genius, Katina. Stop that Gams, you're makin' me blush. Right, I figure that if you with your busy life can come up with those answers I better have another bash, found three more, but got a PM from Ms. Probstess (lovely, lovely lady) saying I'm supposed to PM them to her so naturally I complied. |

"DOG'S BREAKFAST"!!??
Ok ok I have to admit I barely looked at this one before I posted it. I figured we'd all go with the flow and solve it together.
Apologies. I've already attempted to make amends by extending the contest period. Anything else I can do?
