Here are four lists of 3 words each. There is one word that could be added to all four lists; what is it (and why)?

1. side, view, salt
2. slide, lubber, line
3. ball, work, income
4. mail, valuation, bony

1 Sea
2 Land
Why? – in both cases add the word to the front of each to make a new word/phrase

So far so good. There’s another word that can be added to all four lists – any ideas?

Excellent work, both. So now all that remains to find is a word that can come after “land”, “sea”, “net” and “e” to give new words or phrases…

D’oh! I was looking for a single word that could be added to all the words in the puzzle! No wonder I was having trouble…!

So was I until Tony answered and then I just went for it. Waggers is such a charming chap I didn’t have the heart to say anything…he’s got lots of gerbils you know

Reply | Quote

Never mind having the heart to say anything- he’s got highly-trained attack gerbils, and you quickly learn not to cross a man with killer rodents.

Believe me, I know…

Yes, yes, I see

How is the knee now, still sore?

Yes, very… Since it happened I can’t do the pole vault.

Saying that, I couldn’t do the pole vault before so it’s not too bad a problem.

Oh that is good to hear.

I had a gerbil that could pole vault once but i had to seperate him from the others as they were beginning to learn from him. It was, like, crazy man all I could see were 28 pole vaulting gerbils, man, they were craazzy times

Err…

Perhaps I should film the said rodents with my digy camera. Anyone for Teenage Mutant Ninja Gerbils?

Reply | Quote

Yes That sounds like a good film

Who will take the lead role John, Paul, George or Ringo

I assume John will be the baddy as he is always beating up Ringo

Well, actually the dynamics have changed a little bit. On the Tuesday night after the post 505,447 incident, we tried to put them back together again. It was Paul who then became very aggressive – John has been good as gold since.
We haven’t put them back together since then, so if they met up again now there really would be gerbil carnage

I suppose that means John will have to shoot his scenes seperately, using blue-screen technology. Not BSOD technology, though, hopefully…

It looks more like the “crane position” (like in Karate Kid movie)

Yes silly me.

I vaguely remember, when I was doing karate about 20 years ago of the cat stance, weight on the back foot flick of the front foot and calling it cat stance. I suppose the arms up stance here could be a crane stance but i am no expert… BTW I was aiming more for humour than accuracy of style

I am by no means a karate expert. (and the picture is humorous)

I just recall that exact stance from the movie and it being called the crane kick (cranes stand on 1 leg). I was not sure where “cat stance” would come from…

I love these “post puzzle solved” conversations, it kicks up all loads of interesting stuff(BTW pun intended sorry Charlotte )

ah, I remember Karate Kid “Polish On, Polish Off” or was it “Wax on, wax off”

I found this on the web:

“The Neko-Ashi-Dachi, or Cat Stance, is generally unique to the Okinawan styles. Almost all balance is shifted to the back leg as the slightly raised front leg comes perpendicular to the rear foot. The result is a leg that is prepared to strike almost instantaneously. It takes a second to enter Cat Stance, or no time at all if a skill roll is made.”

I remember sparring with my Black belt teacher when I was an orange belt and he was completely taken aback when I hoofed him by slipping into the cat stance…he hadn’t taught me!!! I had read it in a magazine anyway the long and short of it was that he hoofed me back…and it hurt. Anyway fighting days are over now, too many split lips

Knowing your experiences…I would think that would be the least of your worries

Yep, I had a great party trick with my nose….may need a PM for a full description, people maybe eating at the moment

Reply | Quote

I used to pole vault. Used to have a party trick with my hand after that….again, PM is more proper

You mention: “Almost all balance is shifted to the back leg as the slightly raised front leg”.

In the “Crane stance” as depicted in the movie, you stand on one leg with the other upwards and arms out like wings. Whether the cat stance has this “pose” as well I do not know, nor do I know if the “Crane stance” is real. But the “gerbil picture” looks exactly like the stance the Karate Kid used in the film which they described as the Crane.

But, I bow to your expertise and experience. My knowlege comes from TV and movies (and I know that most is fictional, in america even the news may be…)
