GROWNSTEL THANE

1) small region that's a cartographical oddity caused by incorrect maps used during a treaty
2) not far from the last scramble
3) I skipped the word THE at the beginning

GROWNSTEL THANE

NORTHWEST ANGLE (THE) - Please stop 20 random people on the street tomorrow and find out if any of them has ever heard of this....

Wow! I never heard of it. But that's one thing about this (sometimes) maddening game. You learn things.

Sure, I'll do that - 20 out of 20 will have heard of it here, you betcha!

It's that little bump sticking out of Minnesota, the only part of the lower 48 that crosses the 49th parallel.

Hey, just cuz you live near that little bump doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer.

Thanks for sharing. Riveting, just riveting.

He had a nice scheme going, did CHARLES PONZI, till he got sent to the slammer. Bernie Madoff probably learned a thing or two from him.

OREL NEPTKT

#1 She did it before Audrey did.

RevisionIsTheKey · 05-15-2010, 10:40 AM

OREL NEPTKT

KELP KNOTTER? Sounds like someone archerjoe knows from the Northwest Angle.

Nymtoc · 05-15-2010, 04:35 PM

OREL NEPTKT

#1 She did it before Audrey did.
#2 Probably best known as Marian's mother, though she also appeared once as Alice's mother.

RevisionIsTheKey · 05-15-2010, 11:48 PM

OREL NEPTKT, a scramble which has just been added to the Nymtoc Top 100 Lowdown Scramble List, soon to be published by Time Magazine. Though it does tie in well with archerjoe's last one: Ms. Neptkt was last seen in The Northwest Angle asking 20 random people if they had ever heard of PERT KELTON; they all said no. One rather gutsy- and prescient- Northwest Angler asked who the heck Marion was in Nym's second clue. The questioner was beaten bloody and now spends days as a KELP KNOTTER at the well-known Northwest Angle branch of Belleview Hospital's Center For Those Who Have Scrambled With Nym. The assault of the questioner seems rather unfair, since Marion Cunningham had a "Mother Kelp."

RevisionIsTheKey · 05-16-2010, 12:15 AM

CREED ME LEECH LAD ICUCE

(One of the many uses for kelp.)

In case some may be confused by the Rev's tasteful comments on my last scramble, perhaps I should mention that Pert Kelton was the original Alice Kramden on Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners. Years later, she played Mrs. Paroo, the mother of "Marian the Librarian" in both the Broadway and film versions of The Music Man. A few years after that, she appeared in one of Gleason's hour-long versions of The Honeymooners, playing the mother of Alice Kramden, the character she had created years earlier.

Ha ha ha ha, it's DULCE DE LECHE ICE CREAM

Curiously, one of the flavors not on the menu at the Northwest Angle's only ice cream shoppe. You know, Fred's Bait, Boat Rental and Ice Cream.

archerjoe · 05-16-2010, 06:16 AM

Hold on, I'm at the NW Angle bar and I'll ask around for something to scramble. Maybe the favorite local bait fish or something...

archerjoe · 05-16-2010, 06:28 AM

One of the good ol' boys gave me this idea before he fell off his bar stool and rolled into the lake.

FLUFIC STRAUTTSE

1) Even though four are credited, this person is sometimes called a fifth (among others)

RevisionIsTheKey · 05-16-2010, 06:53 AM

STUART SUTCLIFFE, one of about six 5th Beatles. Those guys at the Northwest Angle Bar don't get out much do they.

New scramble:

ELVJE WLLAIOSMBG

(Name of guy who just fell off his barstool and rolled into the lake.)
