Correct, and “bird hunting” is a red herring. ---

Just so you’ll know, **Ilsa\_Lund** , I’ll be away from the computer for at least an hour, perhaps longer. I didn’t want to post some clues and not be around to give feedback on them. Hope the night version goes as swiftly with as much fun as the weekend and daytime versions have. This has the makings of a real winner pasttime. I know my wife and I are adding it to our travel games. Another one we play might be adaptable to the board. It’s something we call Props and involves one person mentioning some prop or object (might even be a piece of the set, a costume, but some physical object) that is identified with a movie, trying not to be obscure or too trite. Mentioning something like gun would not narrow the field much. But a good “prop” might be flashbulbs. The other person then tries to guess the movie. If the guess fails another prop from the same film is given, and so on, until the movie is guessed. Your game is probably a little easier to control since there’s only one answer required, and multiple guesses still work against the same clue. Hope to join you later, Z ---
