October BRAIN DRAIN Contest - WINNER ANNOUNCED!
-----------------------------------
Hi PCers!

Here's one for you that should be fun as well as good brain exercise.

Got to keep that most important organ between your ears as finely tuned as it was during our last League Tourney!

Winner will receive $30 cash.  Everyone who tries this contest will get their names in the draw box.  The top 5 who get the most correct will get their names in the box twice, so do your very best!  Even if you don't win the contest, you still will be a winner by sharpening your "thinker" while you work at the contest.

Please PM your answers to me for this one.  And please type the PM in a format that will be easy for me to read and check!  (Organize it.)

This one I am borrowing, with written permission, from RD Eds.

Please, after reading the directions, then read VERY CLOSELY the Rules !

DIRECTIONS:

Get 2 one-word answers from each clue.  Change the middle letter of the first answer to an R to get the second answer!  For example, if I gave you the clue Home/Equine, you would first get House/ then change the middle letter of House to an R to get Horse.

Good Thinking!


RULES: 

Post below in this thread that you are entering the contest. 

Deadline is the last day of October at midnight ET. 

You must PM your answers to me. 

You must have earned and still have 3000 PC points to redeem to be eligible for a $30 cash prize. 

You must have completed the "My Payment Method" page at PC. 

You must have filled out your profile page COMPLETELY. 


NEW RULE AS OF OCTOBER 2008: YOUR POST MUST CONTAIN AT LEAST 3 POKER SITE BANNERS. It may contain more than 3 if you wish. If you do not know how to do this, the problem is easily solved by PMing ojisplayin or Mel3.


Have fun with this, my Sharpies!

Here are your clues:


  1.  Part of a kangaroo / Veranda

  2.  Breakfast meat / Nobleman

  3.  Fruit / Parrot's seat

  4.  Sheriff's wear / Show boat

  5.  Heavy and strong / Proud walk

  6.  Hole cover / Dry out

  7.  West Pointer / Proofreader's mark

  8.  Clear / Gruesome

  9.  Abut / Light in a cave

10.  Looped rope / Like the Vikings

11.  Falling sound / Jack of rhyme

12.  Give birth, on a farm / Cut


* It is perfectly okay to use dictionaries, Google, or any other legal and honest resource.
