I’m guessing you mean

Holland Tunnel[,

but that’s the name of an actress known for such roles as Ruth Dunbar in Bosom Buddies and Evelyn Harper in Two and a Half Men.
[/QUOTE]

Well, actually I was thinking of

Lincoln Tunnel

but since you brought up

Holland Taylor

I’m betting you’re thinking of that two-man singing duo who had the hit Maneater

Hall and Oates is actually a type of cereal.

If you’re looking for this food amongst the wild Holland Tulips that were bypassed back there, just give up.

Forage

is the idea you’re cultivating, that is, something surrendered or subject to surrender as punishment for a crime, an offense, an error, or a breach of contract, or not smelling the flowers along the way.

Too slow

I suspect you’re talking about

Forfeiture

but that’s just another word for strength and determination

Strength has nothing to do with it. Fortitude is isolation, or getting away from it all. Like when Superman goes to his fortress.

No, Solitaire was a French philosopher, UIVMM.

Go to your room and think about why this is wrong (no games, phone, no friends, etc.). Once you figure it out, a

Solitaire

or, dramatic inner monologue representing a series of unspoken reflections – written out, of course – will be sufficient reportage.

You’re thinking of

Voltaire

but that’s just a measure of electric potential.

But, then again,

is how you describe somebody who’s stacked like a brick privy

Attractive idea, but it’s really

voluptuous

you’re thinking of – a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed approximately 83 to 70 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period.

Might this be the very same

velociraptor

referred to on the previous page (#199) maybe?

Before the wheels come off this completely, let me point out that

voluptuous was (and is) that cute-as-a-bug German car.

Thanks for the rescue.

Is it the mighty

volkswagen

to which you refer? (sure hope so, 'cause no other V-car comes to mind)
But if it is, you should know that that’s really the bunch of Odin’s maidens who selected the people to get killed in battle so they could give them a neat ride to Valhalla. (They’re featured in the helicopter music in Apocalypse Now)

No, the Valkyries are those '80s-era dames who, like, ya know, gag me with a spoon to the max!
