What a silly idea making a boardgame out of Chocolate.

Sticking with boardgames, on a standard boggle board, how many letters are in the longest word(s) you can create?

a. wrinkly foreskin
b. hunchbacked dwarf

(two different stories)

First one HAS to be Rumplestiltskin, surely?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 2:38 pm

yep from the german.
halfway there.
how about the other?

clues then:
it is a cat and the name comes from italian.
it is also possible you may not be familiar with the story.

If we're not familiar with the story, how the blue blazes are we supposed to get it?

I'll go for Puss (in boots)

good point YE.

the answer was gobbolino which may only ring a slight bell. i guess Weyland should step up for getting rumpelstiltskin.

Fair enough.

I do actually know that story, but all I was getting out of Google translate was "nano sostenuto hunch". Ah well.

Gimme a minute to think of a Q...

Okay, what story starts with the line:

"Once upon a time, there was... 'A king!' my little readers will say right away. No, children, you are wrong. Once upon a time there was a piece of wood..."

And HE is straight in there in the first minute. Pinocchio it is, over to your sir.
