OT - 6/9/2006 Puzzle

[Ganchrow]

Another rebus. Harder than the last, I think.

Say what you see:

[Mudcat]

Yikes. What have we got here? We got abs, we got Bill Gates, we got . . . what is that? A satellite? The Hubble Telescope? . . . we got a Washington National player whose face I don't recognize (but that doesn't mean it will stop me).

Gotta mull on this one . . .

[Mudcat]

I have a few possible connections and thoughts but I need some teamwork here. Can someone identify that dude at the right?

Well, I'm from Washington but it's still a stretch for me. I believe it's the young right-handed pitcher Zach Day.

Just confirmed that over at ESPN.

where is the last one.....think i better start with the easy one lol

[isetcap]

So we have...
Abs--Bill--Hubble--Day

[scottyy11]

got it
abner doubleday

[isetcap]

got it
abner doubleday

Well, if you assume that Bill Gates is a nerd. That's a stretch don't you think?

I think it is actually the world-renowned--

Abphilanthropist Hubbleday

[Mudcat]

Ah shoot. I just sat in my recliner thinking about this - and the answer came to me in a flash of light - and I came racing over here, all excited, to dazzle the forum with my brilliance - but you guys are already there.

I must grudgingly say, good work.

[HAPPY BOY]

sorry to but in this thread guys just wanted to test my new avitar for the upcomming football season, looks good huh HAPPY BOY II "

[Mudcat]

Looks like some genuine happiness being exhibited there.

I would say that the kid looks like he's Turning Japanese but I think it would be an innappropriate comment.

So I won't.

[Ganchrow]

Wow -- pretty impressive. I wasn't even certain anyone would get it by tomorrow.

Never underestimate the mind of a gambler, I suppose.

Might have to take a different tack for tomorrow.

[Mudcat]

I love these ganchrow. I probably devote more mental energy to them than I sensibly should - but I do enjoy this kind of stuff.

[tacomax]

Might have to take a different tack for tomorrow.

Yes, I think a new tack it needed. The trouble is I've never heard of this guy so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage.

Tell you what - I'll give you a list of 10 people I know, you can do your puzzle and I can try to guess it. Of course it's a very good concept you've started here but I'm sure you'll agree that this would improve it no end.

[Ganchrow]

You know the guys plays for the Nationals -- the rest is why they invented Yahoo Sports.

[rolemand]

I took it to mean Taco didn't know who Abner Doubleday, hence the disadvantage.

[tacomax]

ganchrow knew what I meant - he was being a smartarse.

[onlooker]

Good job guys. Good thing I was sleeping, or I would of solved that before all of you could get to ESPN to look up who that Nationals player was.




Great work guys.
