[NigelD]

I have Roy and I recognized the chimney thing on the left hand side as you lead in but was thrown a bit by the 'armless doll and the temporary fencing. I haven't got anything ready at the moment so over to the first taker thanks Roy.

[Roy Mathers]

The doll was part of the set for an opera. As you probably know, they store the props etc in the street outside the arena!

Nah...first guess should've been "East Tennessee...say, Maryville?"

[jacuff]

Nah...first guess should've been "East Tennessee...say, Maryville?"

Exactly! I said it wouldn't be too hard. The person that names the building correctly gets it.

[Roy Mathers]

[Roy Mathers]

I would say so.

Within 20 miles of an Interstate highway?

[Roy Mathers]

You do ask some odd questions! I don't know, so I'll check and report back.

[Roy Mathers]

The answer to the last question is yes.

[monty28428]

The good old western frontier life - those were the days.

[Roy Mathers]

Do you remember them Monty?:)

[monty28428]

Kind of -- but my memory fades in and out now days.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm sure your sister can help you remember things!

[monty28428]

I have a sister ???

[Roy Mathers]

Post No 1312.

[Kendoway]

Frontier Village and World's Largest Buffalo in Jamestown?

[monty28428]

Yes indeed - I remember now that I have three sisters!

Frontier, Village and Jamestown :-)

[monty28428]

LOL -- Chris beat me to it :-)

[Roy Mathers]

Ah, you've come in from the cold Chris - Jamestown it is, and the Frontier Village is the place.

[Kendoway]

Cold? I was never cold!

Sorry but I don't have a round locked into the breach, so it's open!

Off to the gym for me now, then Chinese food (dumplings!).

[DDCSD]

You do ask some odd questions! I don't know, so I'll check and report back.


Sorry! Just the easiest way that I could think of to eliminate 90% of ND. :lol:

[PeteJaffa]

Hello guys. Can I jump in here?

[tonylong]

Sure -- Continental Europe (non-UK)?

[PeteJaffa]

No Tony.

[tonylong]

[tonylong]

UK?

[PeteJaffa]

US?

No

UK?

Yes

[tonylong]

Scotland?

[PeteJaffa]

Yes

[tonylong]

OK, I'm entirely ignorant about Scotland, but at least we got the country nailed down and I've sicked the dogs of WAIN on you:)!

[Roy Mathers]

Glasgow?

[PeteJaffa]

Glasgow?

Evening Roy.

Not Glasgow.

[Kendoway]

Thanks for kick starting things again Pete.

Is that an East facing harbor in the distance?

[Roy Mathers]

Edinburgh?

[PeteJaffa]

Thanks for kick starting things again Pete.

Is that an East facing harbor in the distance?

Kinda

Edinburgh?

Yes

[Roy Mathers]

Is it Princes Street, or is that too obvious?

[glhs509]

Top of The Hub?

Added: Well...maybe not the very top :)

[PeteJaffa]

Is it Princes Street, or is that too obvious?

Not Princes Street.

[PeteJaffa]

Not Leith Walk.

[glhs509]

Camera Obscura?

[PeteJaffa]

Ken gets the bonus point.

[glhs509]

Woohoo! I'll go hit the Oktoberfest tent here after work and celebrate!

[Kendoway]

Woohoo! I'll go hit the Oktoberfest tent here after work and celebrate!

Well please post some lasses in German beer-fest regalia (plunging bust-lines if you can) so we can all guess "Oktoberfest Chicago Beer Street with Cute Girls" for the next WAIN. We don't actually care where you are, we just want cute girls drinking big steins of beer ;)

[monty28428]

Roy didn't you win this ??

+1 on the plunging bust-lines!! Post em up Ken :-)

[Roy Mathers]

I thought Ken had won, and I was waiting for him! Reading again, however, I suppose I won, so here is my next one.

[jacuff]

Burnham Overy Windmill?

[Roy Mathers]

Correct Justin - what led you to it?

[jacuff]

Correct Justin - what led you to it?

"Black Windmill" in Google Image search took me to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76948267@N00/1095016545
which led to a search of
"Norfolk Windmill" which took me to this page: http://www.tournorfolk.co.uk/windmills.html

I won't be near the computer most of the day, so open to the first taker.

[Roy Mathers]

Fairly easy then:D

[glhs509]

Sorry all...the Oktoberfests in this area don't include the bar maids that you're accustomed to (although if I stuck around long enough, I'm sure I'd see examples of the beer doing its work)...Milwaukee's Germanfest has the pretty gals though

[Roy Mathers]

Why not nip over to Munich and see the real thing?

[glhs509]

Why not nip over to Munich and see the real thing?
Been there, done that...if I was still single, I'm sure I'd make another trip or two there...

[Roy Mathers]

Take your wife!

[glhs509]

Take your wife!
Roy, if you're offering to babysit the kids (and correct their grammar), I'll take you up on the offer :)

[Roy Mathers]

I will do both (babysit and correct their grammar) if you pay my fare to Chicago and back (business class).;)

[tomd]

In post #1438, Justin left it open....so...
WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this on the Hoover Dam?

[tomd]

Is this on the Hoover Dam?

exactly correct.
It was a few years ago, the bridge is much closer to completion now.

over to your side of the pond!

[Kendoway]

You are on your game this morning Mr. Mathers!

[Roy Mathers]

Thank you Chris! And thank you Tom - one will be along in a few moments.

[Roy Mathers]

OK, so here's the next one -

[Kendoway]

UK?

[Roy Mathers]

No Chris.

[tonylong]

North America?

[Roy Mathers]

No sir.

[tonylong]

Europe?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[Kendoway]

Australia?

BTW POTN suddenly seems sluggish. Anybody else having a problem?

[Roy Mathers]

Not Australia. I too have found POTN sluggish in the last hour.

[NigelD]

South Africa?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[Kendoway]

Asia?

[jacuff]

South America?

[bahelmer]

Antarctica? :)

(Any previous WAINs from Antarctica?)

[glhs509]

Wasn't Indiana Jones scared of Snakes? :D

[glhs509]

Antarctica? :)

(Any previous WAINs from Antarctica?)
Actually, Yes...

[Roy Mathers]

Asia?

Yes.

South America?

No

Antarctica? :)

(Any previous WAINs from Antarctica?)

No.

[Darsk47]

China ? Specifically Ruyang County?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[Kendoway]

Wow, even using Ken's clues - I'm stumped. At first I was sure I had it with the Goa Science Centre, in Miramar - but that's not right.

I'm probably just using the wrong search phrases (and I'm rather dumb :D)

[jacuff]

Well let's try India?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes (not that dumb!).

[glhs509]

On second thought...my clue may be misleading (although I did find images tagged as such)...not clear whether this in front of: 1) the _______ Snake Park in _________, or 2) the ________ National Park adjacent to the snake park...

[Roy Mathers]

I'm not sure that's a question!

[Darsk47]

On second thought...my clue may be misleading (although I did find images tagged as such)...not clear whether this in front of: 1) the _______ Snake Park in _________, or 2) the ________ National Park adjacent to the snake park...

I went on your clue and found nothing - except a horrible shot of an Indian woman who puts long narrow snakes up her nose, down her throat and back up to come out her mouth ! Skull-flossing with a snake!

[glhs509]

I'm not sure that's a question!
Of course not Roy...;)
Although my kids are quite inquisitive, so I hope you're prepared :D

[glhs509]

I went on your clue and found nothing - except a horrible shot of an Indian woman who puts long narrow snakes up her nose, down her throat and back up to come out her mouth ! Skull-flossing with a snake!
Ooooh! Do share!

[Kendoway]

Actually just typing "snakes + India" into Flickr results in some rather unsettling pictures :)

[glhs509]

Time for me to get back to work...one of my clients is based in Chennai and wouldn't be too thrilled if I was searching for WAIN photos all day long...

[Darsk47]

Ooooh! Do share!

Ok - but it's not pretty .......

[tomd]

OK, now I have lost my appetite for lunch.

[glhs509]

Ok this is dragging...Guindy National Park?

[Roy Mathers]

Almost...but not quite.

[glhs509]

The Snake Park next door?

[glhs509]

and if not, I would venture to guess the Children's Park adjacent to that as well

[Roy Mathers]

The Snake Park next door?


That's the one - over to you Ken.

[Kendoway]

Whew. As I said yesterday, that one really had me stumped.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm glad to hear it:D I thought Ken was going to spoil it by littering clues all over the place but, in the end he had to get it himself!;)

[glhs509]

I'm glad to hear it:D I thought Ken was going to spoil it by littering clues all over the place but, in the end he had to get it himself!;)
Hey now...I'm not a litterbug :)

Thanks Roy and to keep things moving, WAIN?

[tonylong]

OK, just to be sure -- US?

[Kendoway]

Miller Park, Milwaukee WI?

[glhs509]

OK, just to be sure -- US?
Sure is
Miller Park, Milwaukee WI?
Sure is and also known as "Wrigley North" well done! and over to you...

[bahelmer]

One of the top baseball players of all time... I still feel bad that his most famous record was eclipsed by today's steroid-enhanced players.

[Kendoway]

Ok, horrific image quality here (apologies) but I have to be clever as my well is running dry.

Where Am I Now - and more specifically, where was I standing when this picture was taken?

http://i36.tinypic.com/bdjzd.jpg

[Darsk47]

Virginia ?

[tomd]

Miller Park, Milwaukee WI?
dang, I knew that one! I take a 2 hour lunch and miss a WAIN. :(

[tomd]

West Virgina?

[Kendoway]

Virginia - no.

West Virginia - no.

[RandallC]

Maybe we should start with... US?

[tomd]

Washington D.C.?
