 		Hints from Melody

Great! I did get an ideltech e-mail as well, mhellerSPLATideltech.com

I'll be heading out to class in the next hour. The instructor thought the word cad was too archaic to make good poetry. Ah well....

Thursday, May 06, 2004
Yesterday after working at the Cafe, I stopped at the grocery store to get a few things to use for making dinner. Guess who I ran into? Thad!

He carried my groceries to his car and drove me home, then carried them inside for me! I just had to invite him to stay for dinner. I made Stuffed Shells, a ceasar salad, and three bean casserole.

After dinner, Thad, Uncle Dick and I played scrabble for a bit. Then Thad said he had to make an early night of it, so I walked him to his car and watched him drive off.

He is definitely not a cad.

Suggestions?

 		Hello, I received Confirmation from Melody that our solve of the puzzle was correct (starting with Thad not a cad)...

Quote:
Yes, you did get it correct. But you understand that it is my personal
feelings and not intended to be a reflection of how I feel about Ideltech,
or the official position of Amboy Monthly.

Thanks,
Melody

 		So is it:

Quote:
Thad not a cad
Who treats me bad
Makes me so mad


Marcus plays a game
Ruins my name
I think that's lame!


but the first stanza still isn't clear, to me anyway.

 		If you think of it like
Thad: Not a Cad
it makes a little more sense.


I also like this one since it would be all about Marcus:

O And That Cad
Who Treats Me Bad
Makes Me So Mad

Marcus Plays A Game
Ruins My Name
I Think That's Lame

*edit - will you all stop posting for 2 seconds so my posts dont look like duplicates Smile

Thad isn't a cad. And this makes her mad?
And is there a point to this? (I thought that puzzles advanced the game. Is this a red herring?)

I've sent an email to Melody to confirm...I think I put both first lines: Thad not a Cad and O and that cad. We'll see if she will confirm which is correct. But I think it may be Thad... because on her blog or whatever she said Thad is definitely not a cad [emphasis hers]

Yea, I saw that in her blog too. My reasoning is that "O and that cad" makes the whole thing about Marcus. He treats her bad, makes her mad, blah blah blah. I wanna believe that her writing "Thad is definitly not a cad" in her blog is saying: Thad is not Marcus so he doesnt do any of those things. But that's just my opinion.

 		Yeah, thinking about it that makes more sense to me.

Funny though that they both work out in the anagrams, hey? Kinda freaky!

 		And O that cad
most beware Thad
Makes me so mad

Marcus plays a game
Ruins my name
I think that's lame!

but still, what's the point of this?

I don't get how the second line works into the third line.
But, I think it was just a little something to occupy our time until the launch (much like the phone recordings) and to help set up the characterization.


Just my 2 cents (Canadian, albeit)
