LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/8/2010 8:53:13 PM)

I've missed y'all, too.

Somehow, my subscription notifications got turned off.....

My next quartet has been burnt a hole completely through my pocket, and I thought, "What the heck? Has everyone given up on quartets?"

Any-who-I've got the RIGHT answer (Thanks google!) and the next quartet - HARD and HOT,..... er..... you know what I mean.... ready to go.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/8/2010 8:57:08 PM)

Well, let's just suck on that for a while....



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/8/2010 9:12:47 PM)

Sorry, dc. But I need to get outta here, and fluff needs something to "suck on."  Jeeze, I thought she was more of a lady. LOL!

I know I'm right, so here's my next one:

Alaska
California
Illinois
Louisiana

On, stop with the groaning.  We haven't had any geography ones for a while.  Oh, first clue:  NOT about borders or measures of  land or maps or "actual" geography. (Which, if you remember, is Greek for "earth-drawing.")  More about the kinda thing we get from dcnovice, what with him living in the US capital and all.

Plenty more states could be on this list....



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/9/2010 3:12:04 PM)

Diagonal roads in Washington, DC, that are named for states.  Most are Avenues, but California is a Street and Ohio is a Drive.



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/9/2010 7:19:47 PM)

Who knew?  Nice research, but not what I have in mind.  Sorry, but my clue wasn't that "direct."  I meant to direct y'all to the state capitals (as opposed to the US capital.)  And maybe when I said, "not about maps" that might have dis-allowed street names which are on maps......  Now I've got you thinking.... well, at least fluff.  Anyone else out there?

ETA:  Not sure how many diagonals are in Washington, DC.  But I'll tell you this - I was totally amazed at how many states share this factoid about their respective capital cities.   I would've thought it was a minority, maybe oh, about ..... FOUR!  Nope, it's the vast majority.



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/10/2010 2:36:36 AM)

Now 3:30 AM local time.  Can't sleep and more 'tis a pity since I have a totally full day and can't get near a computer, much less near CM.
 
BIG hint for the day..... look a list of state capitals.  Get it?  "BIG hint"
 
:: SIGH :::  Really, Lance..... sometimes you have trouble striking the balance between unique, obscure, and just plain impossible. LOL!
 
C'ya

The Capitol city is NOT the largest city in the state.



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/10/2010 8:54:48 PM)

And Miss fluff is able to penetrate the mind of Mr. Hughes once again..... yep!  Now all I want to know is "how the heck?" because I really thought "we" all playing (and maybe it is just you-n-me, babe) would be back-n-forth at least a couple of go-rounds. LOL!
 
Take it away, m'dear.



Wolf2Bear -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/10/2010 10:08:48 PM)

*sigh*

Guess my knowledge is in all the wrong areas as most quartets, I read and pass on!



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:14:44 AM)

Fluffy, I think it's your turn to post if you'd like.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:25:02 AM)

NJ
OH
PA
WV



ElectraGlide -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:29:49 AM)

Hi Fluffy. Do the borders of the 4 states touch each other ? Just guessing.



pissthirstysub -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:32:03 AM)

I don't think New Jersey does.



pissthirstysub -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:33:19 AM)

Does it have to do with Civil War?



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:43:06 AM)

Not borders, not Civil War, not the War of Northern Agression.



pissthirstysub -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:47:08 AM)

States that contain the Appalachian Mountains.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:47:43 AM)

Clue #1
 
All 4 states have something that uses the common thing.  3 states "somethings" connect, the 4th state does not connect but still uses the common thing.



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:48:26 AM)

Or, as I like to call it, the War of Northern Stupidity.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:50:07 AM)

Yes, DC, but the North still won.



pissthirstysub -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/11/2010 9:51:43 AM)

Toll roads?
