What is "Things you'd shove up your poop shoot"?

GoldenEagle · 01-27-2005, 12:09 PM

The majority of the pictures have something to do with food, either directly or indirectly. The man and the dog consume the food, the trains transport the food, etc.

After that, I have nothing.

WSUCougar · 01-27-2005, 12:15 PM

I'm thinking sports nicknames, at least initially.

A few:

"Georgia peach"
"Catfish" Hunter
"Jaws"
"Wizard of Oz"
The Bus
"Nails"
"Big Mac"
"A Train" (?)
"Bear" Bryant (?)
The Fridge

WSUCougar · 01-27-2005, 12:16 PM

Jeeber beat me to it.

How about "Tuna" (Parcells).

Is there anyone nicknamed "Six" or "The Big Six"?

Chubby · 01-27-2005, 12:20 PM

Hammer - Hank Aaron?

I'll take "The Rapists" for 100.

QuikSand · 01-27-2005, 01:52 PM

The ninth one might be Lou "The Toe" Groza

Huckleberry · 01-27-2005, 02:02 PM

Lance Alworth was nicknamed Bambi. cuervo should be right on that one.

QuikSand · 01-27-2005, 02:07 PM

The two "train" pics seem troubling to me. I don't mind calling one "Night train" Lane, as it is a very memorable sports nickname (even though the pic is during daytime) -- but what is the other one? Big Train Walter Johnson? (my best bet so far) The Iron Horse Lou Gehrig? Something with "eninge" or "locomotive" maybe?

(Admittedly, that second picture doesn't seem to conjure up either "Night Train" or "Big Train" to me ... more like "toy train." I got nothing.

JeeberD · 01-27-2005, 02:08 PM

Don't you think that the steam shovel attached to the front of the engine has to come into play somehow?

Could be. There's a face on it, too. Is this a recognizable character of some sort? I assume this is not Thomas the Tank Engine, or someone would have mentioned it.

Huckleberry · 01-27-2005, 02:10 PM

I don't know if that's an opening on the "lower right" at all. Seems like that just depends on your window size and resolution.

There doesn't seem to be any intentional formatting.

Dunno -- my resolution doesn't have said opening.

I'm thinking the ordering is imbedded in the file names -- click to "reply" to the original post, and you'll see file names like A-3 and C-8 and so forth. I preusme we need those as clues in the mix to resolve this.

Looks like that engine is somehow related to the Thomas the Tank Universe...

I'm trying to figure out its name...

Huckleberry · 01-27-2005, 02:14 PM

dola -

was already working that.

JeeberD · 01-27-2005, 02:15 PM

Dola-

That train's name is "Diesel," so I assume that would go with Shaq "Diesel" O'Neal...

Huckleberry · 01-27-2005, 02:18 PM

Diesel 10?

JeeberD · 01-27-2005, 02:19 PM

Athletes with a nickname that I could find a thumbnailed picture for.

What do I win?

QuikSand · 01-27-2005, 03:12 PM

No evidence that this particular set of pairings is relevant, but just in case this triggers something with someone… (I’m using given first names here, too – just in case that might be what we’re looking for)

A-3 Ty Cobb

From "Admiral" David Robinson
to "Wild Thing" Mitch Williams,
Nicknames are a part of sports
as much as "taters" or "slams".

You've almost finished the first part
and the second is to come.
Once you've figured out the key
the puzzle will nearly be done.

JeeberD · 01-27-2005, 03:22 PM

So I'm guessing that the bolded ones are wrong...

For some reason I put "Football" for Shaq when it should obviously have been basketball. Do we have any other guesses for the train and deer pics?

Edit: Wait, the enigma changed basketball to football...is there a football player nicknamed Diesel?

Pyser · 01-27-2005, 03:23 PM

we had babe ruth and night train lane in there. or a-train. could go back to them.

On the Bambi picute I messed up and put baseball instead of football, so the enigma fixed that. But was he also indicating that the player was wrong as well?

Is the train "The Nolan Ryan Express" since it looks like it's supposed to be a baseball player?

henry296 · 01-27-2005, 03:32 PM

The pictures are still 7 in the first row, 7 in the second in 6 in the 3rd.

For me, in my resolution, they are 9,9, and 2. I'm not sure how much we can read into this "pattern." It's possible that the author had something in mind based on his resolution, but that seems like conjecture.

QuikSand · 01-27-2005, 04:16 PM

So, the first train picture might instead be Walter "Big Train" Johnson, perhaps?
