TCF Hangman II Showing 1,901-1,950 of 2,470

[Chloe]

I have finished A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
seeing S M and C have been guessed are there any F's?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Chloe, there is 1 F.

[Kathy]

I'm confused. If all the first letters of a book title, author's first and last name have been guessed, one can choose a random letter? I ask because of Chloe's guess above.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Well, I messed up again. Maybe I shouldn't do Hangman half asleep :)

I'll leave the F since everyone already knows about it. Thanks, Kathy.

[Denise S]

finished Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd by Alan Bradley

[Marla]

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper

Are there any N's?

[Denise S]

Hi Marla

just a tip - N is not the first letter of the title so can't be used. Only the first letter of the title or initials of the author can be guessed.

I think your choices are H or M for the title and author's initials, if they haven't already been guessed.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Denise is right, Marla. You can use the first letter of the title of your book (excluding a, and, the), or the first or last name of the author.

[Debbie]

I finished The Vampire's Mail Order Bride by Kristen Painter
I'm not crazy about any of my choices......soooo I'll go with P. You're welcome Lanelle since you get to start your morning with another body part.

Debbie, there are no Ps.
Thanks for the opportunity to hang another body part :)

[Jenn]

Is it (view spoiler)[ A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition (hide spoiler)]?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

That's it, Jenn. Congratulations!



What do you think Henry Miller meant by 'ammunition'? Anyone?

[Jenn]

Yay I finally got one!

And I believe Henry Miller was saying something along the lines of how books take us to places and let us experience other worlds.It's ammunition for the brain. But if the book is just lying there, everything about it is wasted...lost.

[Denise S]

yay Jenn !! I was just coming on to type the answer before Ms. Hangman hung the man glad you saved the poor guy.

[Agnieszka]

Too bad, I'm too late for this round with my book :-)

[Kathy]

A little stream of consciousness reply to your question, Lanelle.

Ammunition is something that can be launched or thrown or propelled to attack or defend. Information, then, can be ammunition because it can be used to attack or defend an idea, a claim, an argument, a point of view. Since Miller's books were so controversial and even led to overturning US censorship laws, it makes sense that he might see books as a means of attack or defense.

Possibly incoherent ramblings brought to you by . . .

Congrats, Jen!

[Connie]

Ooh! Good quote. Congrats, Jenn.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I like the idea of information being ammunition. Books certainly allow us to learn from the mistakes of others. I read for entertainment, but if I can gain knowledge and wisdom in the process, that's even better!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

A new quote has been posted.

Remember that your book must have been finished after this point.

[Debbie]

I just finished Popped by Carol Higgins Clark I'll start us off with P and hope for the best.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Um, well. Debbie, there are no Ps.

[Agnieszka]

I just finished Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen Are there any Ns?

[Debbie]

Lanelle wrote: "Um, well. Debbie, there are no Ps."

Oh well, it's sort of like spilling something on the tablecloth at a big dinner. No one wants to be the first to make a mess, but it breaks the ice and everyone can relax after the first spot is made. Now no one has to think "I don't want to be the first body part with a bad guess".
And I know how you you like to do that little happy dance......You're welcome!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

There are 4 Ns, Agnieszka.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Wayne, there are 4 Ss.
