jayjay I think you are right about it being peat as opposed to mud- it appeared that way to me as well. Also, they referred to the area as “bogs”, which I generally associate with peat as well.
Interestingly (or not), this makes me want to punch his parents. Also on principle.
Here’s the link about Estonia’s craters.
But thanks, twicks, for the link to poor chique’s condition!
Thanks, Rebo – guess it turns out there are limits to my ability to multitask! :smack:
I’ve fixed the link in my post … moderatorship hath its priveleges…
When Matt was asking the guy if he was a candle-a-bra, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the P.D. Eastman beginner book Are You My Mother?, where the little bird hatches from the egg when his mother is away, and goes off, asking cows and boats and a steam shovel if they are his mother.
I kept thinking of that game, Mad Gab, where when you keep saying a phrase enough times you find that it sounds like something else. I was hoping he’d keep saying it over and over and it would finally click.
Matt should have watched himself some Bugs Bunny as a kid.
“Take the candelabra to Mother, George.”
Theory in Pinky’s defense: he had just been sitting next to a hot blond woman in a sauna clad only in a towel, so when he got into the place and saw the word “candelabra”, he probably got stuck on the “bra” and it screwed up his proper scanning of the word. Then he was probably looking for something that tied a candle together with a bra somehow, maybe a woman, but there were just a bunch of men in the room, and he was panicky because he knew they were behind…
OK, maybe not.
Mistakes beget mistakes.
But why the big hurry about finishing second instead of third?
I could see racing for the prize you get for finishing first, but aren’t second and third place (with only a few seconds between them) about the same?
I read someplace that the bros and the HG didn;t know how Meghan and Cheyne finished. For all they knew, they could have been out racing. So in their minds, they could have been hoofing it for first.
sad to see the dad and son team go, but they totally deserved it for the terrible leg of the race they ran. I’m surprised he wasn’t looking for something with a number. I thought the clue read that the candle thing was to have a number and gave instructions to go to the room with the same number. Why not look for something with a number and try to deduce it can’t be a person because none of the people had tags with numbers on it. I guess I’ll be cheering for team blonde and the globetrotters. Don’t want team zebra to go any further either. I like the competitiveness between Gaybrothers and Globetrotters. We need more of that and less help each other out stuff.
