I'm officially lost in this game!!!!  I do, however love to try and figure them out and once I see the answers I get it so I'm having fun in my own way over here  But this one I don't get, would someone mind explaining it for me?? Here's a little harder one: shun Good shun shun Good shun shun Good shun shun Good shun shun Good shun Modified to say: Oh dear! It didn't display correctly. Pretend there is only one good listed. I think I got it! Is it good intensions? Take care and keep smiling - Chris  |

Chris, usually there is something repeated or placed in a certain spot to give you a clue to the missing word. .....Lindy

I'm officially lost in this game!!!! Where would the challenge be if you got everything right? Seriously, there are some here that I haven't got. Some are because my brain didn't cooperate and some... Well, I'd never have got 'seventh inning stretch' because that's simply not a phrase I'd heard before. I'm assuming this is a baseball thing, right? But why does the seventh inning stretch? I've no idea. And I'm currently very frustrated by longlashes' latest. I'm sure that it will seem wonderfully obvious when I have the answer pointed out to me. But, until that happens, I am pulling my hair out and gnashing my teeth with frustration! Finally... The YYUR... one... I've come across that one before, but the wording I know is slightly different. I'm assuming that's a regional thing. (I learned it as 'Too wise you are, too wise you be, I see you are too wise for me'. Then again, maybe I was taught wrong! ) Krissie P.S. Just in case I ever get another one of these right, and I have reason to post in an image, how would I go about doing that? |

Well, I'd never have got 'seventh inning stretch' because that's simply not a phrase I'd heard before. I'm assuming this is a baseball thing, right? But why does the seventh inning stretch? I've no idea. It's a fun tradition in baseball. I don't know the history of it, but it is, literally, a stretch. By the time the seventh inning comes around (there are 9), you have been sitting a long time (unless you have gotten up to get munchies or various libations ). It's either at the end or the beginning of the seventh inning, I think it's at the end. Everyone gets up and stretches. Traditionally, this is also when you all sing the famous "take me out to the ball game" song. Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowds
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don't care if I ever go back and it's
Root root root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
'Cause it's one, two, three strikes you're out
At the old ball game!Sometimes they will throw freebies and things into the stands too, or have contests. I try to go to one baseball game a season. I'm not a huge fan, but it's outdoors, nice weather, and cheap (just minor league here) fun! |

Good in ten shuns=good intentions Now I am totally mystified by Mary's latest one. I'm hoping someone gets it soon! |

I don't think it will be me. I keep staring at it and nothing comes to mind.

I'm not going to kick myself for not seeing that one. I don't think I ever would have - might have had a shot at it if they had finished off BIG!

Where would the challenge be if you got everything right? So very true!!! Seriously, there are some here that I haven't got. Some are because my brain didn't cooperate and some... Well, I'd never have got 'seventh inning stretch' because that's simply not a phrase I'd heard before. I never heard of the "seventh inning stretch" before either and as for the rest.... If they were in Danish I would probably get them instantly but they are not, so..... Inuvik, your good intentions just earned you some karma, than you for explaining  Take care and keep smiling - this is fun - Chris |
