Wow. Respect!"
Hear, hear! :-)

'Mud on the Red Tent' anyways."
I think we can make an exception with a cool title like that! :-D I'd love to read it. Could it be a shifter story?

Ha! I love your "Monet's tenuous moment on the run". Goes well with the theme of the series, too. :-)

I'm going with "mummers" and leaving it there.Coffee, where is the coffee?
And definitely pineapple on my pizza.

Mermen muted nun's mothers?Tern hummed summer sonnet?
I'm not very good at this.
And ick, no pineapple! Just a plain cheese pizza for me.

That seems pretty accurate

I'd say that was on the money
Mod
Well, I can't see anything I would disagree with! :-D

We should ask this question again BEFORE I write the final book...

There's a certain theme there but I'm not sure it's quite me."
what is with you and Haldis turning up as PREY?

....'You're not an art history expert. You've clearly never studied art in your life. Find the closest art muse..."

A quiz put together by a disgruntled museum curator. :-D
Probably. :)

LOL. Only partly broken, though. You're all above but not naive!

It's time for our final game before we'll announce winners tomorrow. Jigsaw puzzle, anyone?
In The Monuments Men Murders Jason is solving the mystery of a lost Vermeer painting known as 'A Gentleman Washing His Hands in a Perspectival Room with Figures, Artful and Rare'. Here's a jigsaw puzzle of Vermeer's other missing painting, The Concert, which was stolen 1990. Enjoy! https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play...
Hint: When you go to the puzzle page, if you want you can edit the settings on the puzzle to rotate the pieces, make more or less pieces, see a copy of the pic, etc. Click on "play as" near the top of the puzzle screen or look for the icons at the bottom left of the puzzle screen.
If you want, let us know how much time did it take for you to solve the puzzle.
Mod
It took me 9:32. I didn't try to make it harder :)
Mod
Love the jigsaw puzzles. I'll have to wait until I get home to play, however.
7:59. Of course, I couldn't stop at just one.
Took me 11 minutes. Good fun thanks

For the famous work of art, I got the fountain, which made me laugh a lot:
You got: The Fountain, by Marcel Duchamp
You're either mind-blowingly lazy or the greatest genius the world has even known. Either way, the fact that nobody can figure you out gives you a considerable amount of power. Wield it well.
MWUAHAHAHAHA!
And I got 60% on the artist-work of art matching game. Some I guessed on and got them right, but then some I should have known I got wrong too.
And I got 9/15 picking the yard sale vs. $$$$ paintings.
Didn't even attempt the art history one! MWUAHA!

11:57 on the puzzle for me. And I'm not going to even attempt the letter scramble puzzle. I think there's already a champion for that one. ;)
I guess if I'm elegant, then I have to drink something sophisticated, right?
*Grabs the bottle of Scotch and swigs* Ahhh. Needs some ice.
OMG, 17 min. I'm slipping these days LOL

Lovely, restless, thoughtful and sweet. I don't think I've ever been described as sweet and I'm certainly not restless. Hopefully I'm thoughtful, and I have a customer who says I'm a lovely lady but he says that to all of us lol.

I love your descriptions, Teal. They're spot on! :)
Late to the party as usual but congrats to all you winners!I've brought more gin for the afterparty. I hope there's some tonic left to go with it :D
Congrats, winners! And thank you, Johanna, for the party! :-)

LOL. It's a very pretty urinal, though, I have to admit.
Thanks Josh and Johanna for another enjoyable party and congratulations to the winners!

Time for a new game!
How many new words can you make out of The Monuments Men Murders? List as many as you can! Or better yet... can you make a new title/sentence out of it? You don't need to use all the letters!
