Sorry guys, I had no idea where to take this board. I knew you were going to gravitate toward marble, but I thought maybe it’d be lower on your list because of the Hera clue.
Mouse was for computer/point/seal, but went 1/3 with zero indication you would eventually land the other two. Never in eleventy billion years would I have expected Nich to go mouse—>hickory dickory dock—>Big Ben.
Soprano was opera/scale/miss/bell. It was capitalized for last name equity with Bell.
Decorative was bonsai/seal/bell.
I never got a chance to clue mile.
Bonsai Mile Seal Scale Miss Computer Opera Bell Point Mud Mona Lisa Fork Marble Mother Van Boom Steam Sack Triangle Coast Lightning Scroll Big Ben Link Stick
Even if you guys had gone 7/7 in the first two, I have no idea how I would’ve clued bonsai/mile, so we were probably looking at four clues from the get go anyway.
Haha yea the big Ben thing was funny to see from the other side...like "I bet IBD thought his team would go hickory dickory....BIG BEN!!!"
Nice guessing blues, I was mostly thinking how I could go 3+3+2. Combustion was for Van/Boom/Steam which you got. Hera was for Mother/Mona Lisa/Marble, I just wanted a woman(and not a "Miss") that you could perhaps think of a statue with so went with a Greek goddess. I generally try to avoid playing trivia with my team or testing their specific knowledge on proper nouns, if it's unavoidable/need to link some really hard stuff then you gotta do what you gotta do but in this case I was going for the simple connections which you also got/had our last needed word ready to go.
And then last turn went perfect and you nailed it, way to go! GG all
We've all done it haha, tbh I wasn't sure of the 3rd mouse word for a bit(and I had the words!) and finally figured out Seal - idk why Seal can be somehow sneaky
