You are so on the trail, Dog Zero

I believe that the <0 clue is so close that you cannot see it. I offer this clue:

A "natural vehicle of sorts", perhaps not naturally a vehicle.

Now, you must pay:

CRAP, I'm on trial?!??!

Is it my lawyer?

Is it a trail?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Fri Aug 15, 2003 8:05 pm

I mispell things when I'm tired, I regret. Please note the edit. You are on the trail, hound dog zero, on the trail that leads to the cessation of this arduous trial.

The noun is right there, almost. Say the noun.

A horse of course....

3.30 at aintree, put your money on the horse with one eye, half a tail and a limp, goes by the name of Lucky.

The noun is not horse. If the noun was horse, there would have been a small celebration several posts back, when the noun horse was mentioned. But, there was no party. So horse is not the noun.

You are quite close, but you are not King Horse.

Nose to the trail, hound dogs!

Is it pony? It's pony, isn't it? It's pony! As in 'Pony Street'!

Goody got it! The noun is "pony"!

PONY STREET

She lives on Pony Street
And they should scatter flowers at her feet
But when they come calling I think it's appalling
They're sober and they're polite
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
To keep her out all night

That little martinet
Will get her own way yet
If you need instruction in mindless destruction
I'll show you a thing or two
You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me
For you to view

Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying
From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
But your generation confesses before it transgresses
Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses

If you're going out tonight
I won't wait up
Reading ";Das Kapital";
Watching ";Home Shopping Club";
While you're flogging a dead horse
All the way down Pony Street
Where you live after a fashion
All the way down Pony Street
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
That lives on, that lives on, that lives on
Pony Street

Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever
But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather
For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me
For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history

If you're going out tonight
How can you be sure
Where you lay your pretty head
Mother may have been before
So you're flogging a dead horse
All the way down Pony Street
Where you live after a fashion
All the way down Pony Street
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
That lives on
She lives on Pony Street
She lives on, she lives on

Hey look! It's A Kinder Murder coming up the back stretch!

Is Pony Street a real place? I read somewhere that Rocking horse Road was in New Zealand.

Party on, hound dogs...

Aw, I feel like a horse's ass.

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 1:03 pm

Not a need in the world to feel like that, Bamboo. Just think of how amazing it is that a few persons scattered about the planet were able to eventually read the mind of a beaten-down mandog.

If someone would like to chose a noun and keep it for questions, I would be glad to show everyone how the game is played.

Next poster, if you're up for it...think away!

Well every person you can know,
And every place that you can go,
And anything that you can show,
You know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word,
It's any name you ever heard,
I find it quite interesting,
A noun's a person, place, or thing.

Oh I took a train, took a train to another state.
The flora and fauna that I saw were really great.
I saw some bandits chasin' the train.
I was wishin' I was back home again.
I took a train, took a train to another state.

Well, every person you can know (Like a bandit or an engineer)
And every place that you can go (Like a state or a home)
And anything that you can show (Like animals and plants or a train)
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns, oh...

Mrs. Jones is a lady on Hudson Street.
She sent her dog to bark at my brother and me.
We gave her dog a big fat bone,
And now he barks at Mrs. Jones.
She's a lady who lives on Hudson Street.

Well, every person you can know (Mrs. Jones, a lady, or a brother)
And every place that you can go (Like a street or a corner)
And anything that you can show (Like a dog or a bone)
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns.

I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
My best friend was waitin' there for me. (He took an early ferry.)
We went for a walk on the island you know,
And in the middle of summer it started to snow,
When I took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

Well every person you can know (Like a friend or the captain of a ship)
And every place that you can go (An island or a sea)
And anything that you can show (Like a statue, a ferry, or snow)
You know they're nouns - you know they're nouns

Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Oldies goldies started playing if you know what I mean.
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin' the twist
And the Beatles and the Monkees, it goes like this!
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.

Well every person you can know (The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker)
And every place that you can go (Like a neighborhood or a store)
And anything that you can show (Like a dime or a record machine)
You know they're nouns.

A noun's a special kind of word,
It's any name you ever heard,
I find it quite interesting,
A noun's a person, place, or thing.

A noun is a person, place or thing.

OH CRAP YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!

I was GOING to say Pony Street, but I like Rocking Horse Road way better so I went with that avenue!

LessThanZero · Post by **LessThanZero** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 3:25 pm

I said Horse and trail and I was going to say Horse Trail. Isn't that like a pony street?

My noun is fixed Rope? Who want's some of this?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 6:44 pm

Can we assume that this noun is associated in some way with Elvis Costello?

Gilli, I snagged that animated jockey off some British horse site. Just right-click, and it's yours. My celebrations are really tacky, though. I need more talent.

Way to party, Blue Chair. Is that They Must Be Giants?

Next question: Is it a person, a place, or a thing?

LessThanZero · Post by **LessThanZero** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 7:45 pm

It is a thing associated in some way with Elvis Costello.

You're a natural Rope!

Post by **BlueChair** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 8:13 pm

Rope, it's actually an old Schoolhouse Rock tune.

Tangible or intangible?

i almost just gave it away....a quick edit, and my remark is stricken from the record. Ha!

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 8:57 pm

Can we assume then, that it is a tangible thing?

Is it contained within the photograph?

Are you high?

Yes, Maybe, No. Weird huh?
