So not blind. Car and battery are good.

So he is a bit of a nut/revolutionary. Or a brother/man wearing pants. France maybe for the perfume musk. Not sure if person Musk has any link to France. Dust for stardust. Drill/boom/apple/bond for tech words.

We probably need another jerk word as well.

Think I like 2 of bond/France/nut/revolution. Maybe boom.

I guess nut could be the last jerk word - feel like we didn't discuss that meaning

car
nut - he's a nut and nuts get musky

don't have a super strong preference after that, but leaning buffalo. could be almost anything you guys have mentioned tho

boom might not be bad for rockets etc, plus it's not red (but possibly assassin!)

I don't love france

Also not liking apple much (I know you don't have it in last post, just going back to other options) since they're guessing it 2nd

Is he from a nordic country? I forget

This is also a spot where we can be conservative I think. They don't seem like they're in the best shape to close it out next turn. They need 5 and have 2 at best afaict

Yea I liked Apple but like it even more for them so I'm good with not guessing it

Musk's family are South African apartheid profiteers. Not sure where his family was from before there - I guess odds would be British or Dutch.

for actual London words...revolution and Bond maybe?

even though both ironically hit explosion - I think it was probably to get us off soup

Looking back, Big ben was gone just before nails did the 0 clue. So maybe the plan was to clear soup so that apple and scroll were freed up, and then do a 3 clue to get 5 words.

Agree Bond is a lock pick.. and I agree revolution for the Industrial Revolution.

Drill is possible for changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace

do any past clues help us?

Vermin 5
mouse
rat
slug
snake
virus

Manhattan 3
Time (shared with magical??)
Skyscraper
? (apple)..??

Magical 3
Leprechaun
cloak
time (shared with Manhattan?), or is scroll the last magical.

Bubble 3
gum
pop
?

Wtf is the 3rd bubble word supposed to be? A time bubble isn't a thing, is it?

Bond is really the only word I like here, and I'm a bit scared of guessing revolution because of the 0 clue.

Maybe buffalo is ours because it's another city name? Could also have been a Manhattan word and we just spursed something, I guess.

On the third bubble word, I thought it was boom, until it wasn't. It very well could be bond, as bubble has a common financial/economic meaning. A bond bubble could be a thing.

I am not worried about revolution at all. If we even think of not picking it then we are looking at Bond plus two words, when we can't see one right now.

If you had to pick one city that was the start of the Industrial Revolution, I think it would be London..

my worry is not getting the third word.

I really doubt that bond was intended for bubble...that seems like a huge stretch to expect us to ever get that. Not that I have any clue what it's supposed to be. Maybe bubble pants are a thing after all? Not sure how that hits London tho.

As for revolution, what was the purpose of the explosion clue then? It doesn't make any sense to just get rid of boom, and he could've just done bubble 0 to get us off soup and boom. Also would think British/English would hit that harder, and it seems quite strong for Musk too, imo.

Viking seems okish.
