I don't think opposite is a preposition. I can't think of a usage where it could be a preposition. Add me to the camp that says these words are supposed to be opposite sets.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary wrote:
Main Entry: opposite
Function: preposition
1 : across from and usually facing or on the same level with <sat opposite each other>
2 : in a role complementary to <played opposite the leading man in the comedy>

I thought maybe looking up the definitions of all the words might help me figure out what I'm supposed to do with this puzzle. No luck so far, but as far as I can tell, they are all prepositions.

 		i have verified that using the sounds like clue,

"41 prepositions" does not equall "Horny_Sons_Of_Bitches"

somehow, i thought that might be it...

hmm. also not "Washington_Pretty_Kittens"

 		Clarence_Worley, have you tried adding flats or sharps based on the meaning of the word? A lot of the words roughly seem to mean "on top" and "below".

The other thing to consider is that the sequence of whole steps and half steps are different depending on which note you start with. So try shifting it up and own a bit.

 		that's an awful lot of places to be. above, under, on, around .. you might say you were going_places. But you'd be wrong. nor are you going_somewhere, going_someplace, or a number of other variants.

 		Can anyone relate these to ASL?
We've had braille, why not sign language? Sounds like silence.
Eh, I don't know.

 		So I was in the shower, and I had an apostrophy... I mean an epiphany. LOL

"Sounds Like" is between the lines...
So sounds like between... nineteen?
And 41 prepositions... nineteen_fourty_one.wav? nope.
1941.wav? nope.

So we can scratch them off the list.

 		scratch them off the list..

good idea! can we put together a list of the wavs that Have been tried? that might show us a gap in our patterns and thinking.

this, this, this and this. oh! That!

You should be able to find most of the prepositions here.
(along, onto, throughout, and underneath aren't there). Also, some of the words might not be the preposition version of the word (e.g. past).

 		I'm not suggesting anyone actually try this (unless you have WAYYY too much time on your hands) but, is anyone working on all combinations of two of the words together?

I was thinking earlier today, sounds like is for charades, maybe acting out all these prepositions in charades would give us something. I'm not equating asl to charades, but both are visual ways of relating words, and sounds like might clue us to that...

n00b set up a bot that would allow us to test .wav file names instead of typing it into a browser. Very convenient. He also made a list of ALL our attempts (up to a few minutes ago).

Some of these are nonsense, completely unrelated, might be spelled wrong, etc. Keep this in mind as you go through.

http://www.sntreport.com/botattempts.html

This eliminates a LOT of possibilites.

Latest info about the bot:

Again, it's in the #ilb channel (not #ilovebees).

Once you're there, just say something like: wav hard_sound_rifle

You can check http://www.sntreport.com/botsorted.html for a list of everything that's been tried on the bot, broken down by word. This gets updated every 5 minutes. Don't forget to refresh your browser to pull down the latest copy.

 		is there a way to signal that the "sign" you're about to do in Charades is a preposition?

wizzdumb, look in the file again for another line, before the two you've listed, beginning with a numeral word ("two","three", etc.) I found haikus like this in two other images back on Oct 8th when I was first looking for the new puzzles (see post on page 37 of this thread)

I think there's another puzzle still out there somewhere.

EDIT: OK. I see that text now (in the apparently uncorrupted version of langshivel) and the syllable count fits but there is no first line.

 		I haven't seen this mentioned, and at the rate I'm going with this puzzle, it's probably nothing, but... spread throughout CUTEBEE, (the same one that has "sounds like" in it), are HO HO HO HO. If you search the text, they are in caps and there's a space between the H and the O.

 		I wrote a quickie Perl script. I tried all 3362 combinations of "word_word" and "word_and_word". No joy.

In case anyone wants a go, here's my script. You'll need a Perl installation and wget to run it.
