Curry has to be the third.

I propose we guess Curry and Calf and then either pass or continue debating the merits of crow vs link.

Agree with Curry -> Calf.

Curry is red
Calf is red

Jimmmmm · « **Reply #1003 on:** February 04, 2022, 06:40:31 pm »

For the third, my slight leaning would probably be Roll. Are sausage rolls are thing for you?
Link seems reasonable, but is not a term I would really use so I can't comment.

Happy to defer to Galz if you have a high level of confidence in Crow.

I just think it's the strongest connection of our choices - Like, I would've gone with it over Curry (although Curry would've been my third preference).

Beyond the saying "Eat Crow" - Crow is actually not a horrible meat - it's generally safe to consume and is like eating any other dark meat bird (I mean, Duck/Turkey will have a lot MORE meat - but it's fairly similar). It's also extremely commonly eaten in a lot of fantasy stories around campfires (like rat).

When I look at the board for connections to "Meat", I just think Calf & Crow are the most obvious two to me.

That said, "Meat Roll" might be a thing that I'm not super familiar with. It actually sounds like a thing that would be popular in the UK and not in the US. I think "Meat Pie" certainly is - and it could be another phrase for the same.

In Australia we have sausage rolls, which along with party pies (smaller versions of the classic Aussie meat pie) are often used as party food. I'm not sure if they're just an Australian thing or if other countries have them as well.

So we're pretty split between {Link (Sausage), Crow (Meat), and Roll (Sausage/Meat)}. Honestly I'm good with any of them - we don't NEED to guess here (both teams have 2 words guessed with 1 outstanding), but I feel like we should - it's early enough and hopefully at worst we pull a Neutral.

My only hesitancy with Link would be the bodyguard connection to Zelda (which for sure some of us would make more naturally than others here) - although I think it's more likely that their last word is Star than Link.

Let’s try Crow.

probs needs to bold that if you want it

Crow is red

String: 3

scolapasta · « **Reply #1014 on:** February 06, 2022, 12:22:08 pm »

Hmm not sure if I love any of these (but if they're right, this is an amazing clue):

String BEAN
String BIKINI
and FINGER (since you wrap String around it?)

Could also see PARACHUTE (related to cord, maybe?)

Not sure I see other connections, but theres likely something I'm missing.

We also still have STAR (or something else) from before.

Eevee · « **Reply #1015 on:** February 06, 2022, 06:25:36 pm »

I like bean and bikini certainly. Maybe guess star third, if correct?

scolapasta · « **Reply #1016 on:** February 06, 2022, 06:29:26 pm »

I'm ok with that order; if swowl agrees, we can lock it in.

Swowl · « **Reply #1017 on:** February 07, 2022, 12:36:34 am »

code is written in strings yeah?

But yeah - BEAN and BIKINI seem solid.

its late so I need to think outside of that but I am ok with those as of now.

scolapasta · « **Reply #1018 on:** February 07, 2022, 02:12:09 pm »

BEAN -> BIKINI

And yeah, String class is key in most coding. Didn't even think of that. Not sure I love it here, though.

I do like going back to STAR for our 3rd guess.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1019 on:** February 07, 2022, 03:36:41 pm »

Bean is blue
Bikini is blue

Swowl · « **Reply #1020 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:33:36 pm »

SPIRIT	PARACHUTE	CALF	STAR	BIKINI
CODE	CURRY	BOMB	BEAN	CROSS
SHED	MAIL	ROLL	LINK	DRESS
CROW	ARMOR	CRYSTAL	ALPS	FIGURE
PISTOL	CANDLE	TRIP	FILM	FINGER

Swowl · « **Reply #1021 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:38:43 pm »

String could possibly be TRIP.

I am not really understanding the reasoning for STAR here. Like if they are the Star of the Film.... Would think we normally get film as blue there.

That being said I have never seen the movie and I got no better ideas lol so I am down for whatever.

scolapasta · « **Reply #1022 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:40:44 pm »

For String I alos wonder about DRESS.

The reason behind STAR is not just the movie, just that bodyguards generally guard important people, like movie stars.
