I'll have to get the transcriptions up later tonight... *sigh*

In the list of prepositions, 41 are given. I began to eliminate the opposite pairs, and the odd word out might just be 'opposite', which is a preposition itself.

So Opposite Day for Jan 25 doesn't seem at all far-fetched.


I also went down that path, but a bunch of words in there don't have opposites (and they don't spell anything with their first letters either).

Well I really like the Opposite Day suggestion because a lot of those prepositions have opposites. The big chicken is still throwing me off.


I think the big chicken is just to link the picture clue to:

I once knew a chicken who was a huge fan of bizarre holidays

What's the opposite of huge fan?

small_???


I thought of that, too, but so far nothing I tried worked yet.

So we have a picture of a chicken holding a calendar with Opposite Day circled. The chicken has to serve some other purpose other than "I once knew a chicken...", wouldn't you think? If a chicken was a huge fan of Opposite Day, what could it pretend to be or do on January 25th?

Furthermore, what does ANY of this have to do with a list of 41 prepositions?

 		I think that "sounds like" and the list of prepositions go together...

If you look at the text in the pics, both of these clues are preceeded and followed with a series of dashes, which I think indicates that they're part of the same puzzle.

How though...haven't figured that out yet! Wink

 		Re: final clip(s)
You know what's not helping at all? The audio clips. I thought we could figure out whether we are missing two or only one, but no dice. The first set is clearly:

no_no_no --> dress_uniform --> last_week

The second set is:

divorced_bureaucrat --> old_washington

While it doesn't sound as if there's a clip missing between the two, it's at least theoretically possible. The third and last set is maddening. It definitely starts:

coney_island --> have_some_laughs --> sunday_school --> separated --> merciful --> ???

And it definitely ends with:

??? --> last_stop.

However, there could be a clip between merciful and tearful_goodbye, or there could be a clip between tearful_goodbye and last_stop, or both, or neither. ARRRGH!!!

The next year that's chicken and has January 25th be a Tuesday is 2089 then after that is 2101.

With the 2101 date the phase of the moon is correct match to the picture.

 		Just throwing some things out there that I've tried, maybe they'll click.

Jan 25, 1921 is both a year of the rooster, and a year on which Jan 25 was a Tuesday. It was the day the term "robot" was first used.

Opposite stuff: Chicken Little

Sounds-like stuff: Preposition sounds like deposition, but also a little less like disposition. I was so sure that since the chicken was out at night, and he dug opposite day, that it was gonna be sunny_disposition.wav, but no dice.

Anyway...

The year 2552 also begins on a saturday. It has a new moon on jan 27, which may well leave the less than quarter moon shown in the chicken picture on the circled date of jan 25.

It sounds pretty complete.. tearful goodbye after merciful and then one missing.. then last stop.. seems to fit anyway
