Wheel of Misfortune 2012

[3rdgal12.livejournal.com]

Hey campers! I thought we could revisit and oldie but goodie that geekygecko did in 2010. One person will post a series of dashes representing some form of Wilson ailment (preferably camp related but not required), making sure to separate each word with a dash (/). If you’d like to get things started in a hurry, you can provide the letters RSTLNE, but you can start with all dashes if you prefer. The next person will reply to your post by guessing two letters, The original poster will then reply to that guess with an updated puzzle showing if and where the letters fit. For example:

S _ _ _ _ _ R _
Is there a u or an n?
S U N _ U R N

Please wait to guess letters until there is a reply to the guess before yours. If you think you know what it is, you can guess that, too! Whoever solves the puzzle will then start a new thread with the word or phrase of their choice. I’ll start us off.

_ _ S _ _ _ T _ / _ _ T E

None, and a good morning to you! A few minutes and it will be Tuesday here as well.

I figured I'd better make a guess because you'd want to be getting to bed :) And er.. isn't it Wednesday?

Um... i and p

Luckily I've finally reached summer (officially it's still tomorrow, but day temperatures of 30, Mediterranean diet... yay! summer! I even changed icon!) and in particular I am 1300+ km away from my kids, so I will not hear them when they get up at 6.45 tomorrow morning!

Still, it's true and I'm very thankful.

There are two Is, but no Ps.

As for the day of the week, well, it's midnight. I'm a bit sleepy.

I was just worried that I'd got my days wrong and I really should be doing something else about now :) Wish it was 30 here right now :)

I'd got my days wrong
That's one of my favorite nightmare scenarios, usually involving missing an airplane trip (in unlucky nights, an intercontinental airplane trip).

Your "autumn" is about as warm as a German "summer". And I mean the inverted commas to sting.

:) We had a cold day on the weekend - I think it got down to 14 :)

Jellyfish sting ?

[damigella-314.livejournal.com]

You win! I'm now going to bed, tell Wilson to put vinegar on it (according to wikipedia, ammonia was the medical advice when I was stung three decades ago).
You may choose whether to try and stop House from peeing on the irritated skin, depending whether you think it's too early in the morning for watersports ;). [It's a popular remedy that, just like ammonia, may actually backfire, again according to Wikipedia, MD.]

Goodnight!

PS Fourteen can be a summer temperature North of the Alps. And I met someone from Adelaide yesterday.

LOL - I could see House trying that remedy :)

Have a good sleep!
