Are we sure those portraits don't go with the scrabble board?

The Ambassador quote in cutebee and the picture of the bottlecaps combine to find http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/green_badge.wav

Here's how I solved it:
#bk collectively had realized that if you rotate the bottlecaps like clockwork, they'll all turn.
Sep7imus pointed out that "He handles everything as it comes up, until the whistle blows" could mean to look at each bottlecap as it turns right-side-up.

I messed around in PSP and Excel to estimate the angle until each bottlecap would be rightsideup, and got this:

Name Degrees
Storz 0
Iroquois 10
Zee-Mo 30
Southern Delight 60
Rocky 80
Good 120
Rainier 140
Edelweiss Ritz 150
Erlangen 170
Nulcy 180
Badger 230
Ambassador 240
Derby 250
Golden Punch 270
Essingers 290
Whistle 340

I saw that the first letters spelled SIZSRGREENBADGEW, which had "greenbadge" in it. strifey found that green_badge was a good wav file, and others pointed out that the first 5 letters should have been ignored since the Ambassador was supposed to start at "8 oclock".

A good collective solve, I take credit only for the grunt work of the math Razz

In the scrabble pic (groupofjars.jpg) two words have blank letter. VIC_ and ON_E. The first one could be a Y or an I, the second one should be C. I thought it might be i_see.wav, or see_why.wav, but tis not. It could also mean icy.

And for those who care, here's my picture reference for figuring this out.

from what I remember of candyland, those colors match exactly. I would say that you probably have to take the colors you hit on the way to the gingerbread house and put them into the colored grid. -- Each number is one move, and then given the "move" and the color, you can get a letter.

EDIT: Alas, I am at work, and as such have no access to the candyland board.
