Well that's good Smile Looks like this one is stumping a lot of people though.

My first impression is that it's wierd that they included "big" two times. They could have said "A big dish or game" or if size really is important to both of them, why not something like "A large dish or a big game". Could be important or not.

 		I'm thinking more along the lines of satellite (dishes, that you see the game on?)

But I don't know how to know you found it...

And for those of you who might have no idea what he's talking about:

http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/a_pawn.wav

You may notice that 'upon' and 'a_pawn' are only minimally related. That petite relationship was the source of much angst for over a week. I'm checking out said Google page, but this isn't quite up my alley.

 		The answer to the latest clue is easy, I figured it out in 2 minutes flat. I just can't find the damn page. Too lazy. Meh.
