Okay, no problem.
But Coke is poison, really.

This might be a little better:

62

Eh, just go with a beer instead.

63

Corona? :slight_smile:

64

Beer is definitely a better choice.
But I prefer red wine. :slight_smile:

65

No, no one has missed in this round yet.

66

Only if you deliver it masked.

I think we’ve lost the game master until tomorrow.

I / H A D / R E A ___ H E D / T H E / A ___ E / O F / ___ I ___ / H ___ N D R E D / A N D / F I F T ___ / ___ I ___ E ___ .

No misses yet.

I / H A D / R E A ___ H E D / T H E / A ___ E / O F / ___ I ___ / H ___ N D R E D / A N D / F I F T ___ / ___ I L E ___ .

And we have a miss! So that’s strike one.

68

I am surprised that C is not there.
Is there any S, please?

69

Are you sure you didn’t miss a C in that third word? That’s where you missed the A earlier. It’s a stealth word

Anyway, M.

70

New to the game… I will guess U.

71

And I’ll guess the “Y”.

72

So, I’m out, because I googled my idea. And yes, unless I found the wrong thing, word #3 should be “reached”

73

OMG! I missed that. Sorry, folks.

I / H A D / R E A C H E D / T H E / A ___ E / O F / S I ___ / H ___ N D R E D / A N D / F I F T ___ / ___ I L E S .

Yeah. That’s what I get for staying up very late many nights in a row.

Sorry about missing that. Go ahead and post your guess.

74

“I had reached the age of six hundred and fifty miles”?

75

And we have a winner! It’s the “hook” or opening line (after the prologue) of The Inverted World by Christopher Priest.

The ball is in your court, ** Elendil_s_Heir**.

76

Thanks!

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ /___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___

77

I’ll take the ever popular T, please.

78

Good move :slight_smile:

79

Discourse won’t recognize the line below as a sentence, so I’ll add this line:

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ /___ ___ ___ / ___ T ___ / ___ ___ ___

I’ll buy an E.
