Crossword Clue Nine: 4 Across

Jun 15th, 2007 by General Henz

These guys have vanished - poof! - executing such a complete disappearing act that we really don’t know what to say about them in the clue. They’ve dropped off the face of the earth. So we’ll give this clue: starts with “w” ends in “escam”.

This is clue nine in Anti-Wobbly Aptitude Test # 2. Previous clues can be found at: Clue One, Clue Two, Clue Three, Clue Four, Clue Five, Clue Six, Clue Seven, Clue Eight.

Hey General,

Am I reading this wrong, or are there now 3 different clues listed for 5 down ?! ?! !? !? ?! Each one hinting at a different head.

Talk about Wobblie.

Lee! Welcome to the war effort! We appreciate having proven soldiers like you visit the site (Curt has shared some great stories about your time together on Sweet Home Alabama).

Good catch on the misleading clues. For those playing from home, you can now check your Wobbly scorecard and correct previously misleading clues.

Yes, you’re right - talk about Wobbly… it’s so pervasive it can even get the best of us.

I’m not to sure what this hint is supposed to mean. Said company hasn’t exactly ‘dropped off the face of the earth’ maybe as much as renaming their film rental end as it’s separate from the rest of the company now.

Hi All,
mine is a poorly kultural enquiry, I kid you not!
Bean from ” out of town “, why do you mean General when you say “I’m calling meat sandwich on you!!!”.
Sorry if I am having a “Borat” moment.
These things matter to learned most important, appreciate. Not a hand party mater.

Please clarify “calling meat sandwich on you” for me.
No joke, no “grplfbhindplskepupucnt” stuff!
A genuine request for cultural clarification i.e. with origin etc of course!
Danke

BALONEY!

Sorry General, but I’m not a fan of baloney, maybe some ham, or turkey though.

Same people, different name, separating entertainment from government/surveillance. Am I wrong in thinking you knew that already?

Perfect answer, I get it now!
Yours in slowness of uptake…
