(Quote from Rent by Jonathan Larson)
OK, here's a topic for ya. This may or may not have come up in the past.
Do you guys have favorite clues, just because they're written in a very
witty, clever way? Which ones?
I have to say that I really loved reading the clues to The Quest in
Mansfield, CT. They really made me smile, going into the nuts and bolts of fairy tale
writing. Nicely done, Hodsthorn. :)
I also got a real kick out of this part of the clues to Spring has Sprung in
Simsbury CT (which I think is missing):
"With regards to the location, my ex-girlfriend originally showed me this
tree and told me that it was the oldest tree in CT. I’m not so sure about her
credentials, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was true.... You should be able
to figure out this pseudomystery letterbox if you can figure out where to find
the tree. (Honestly, I just don’t even know the names of the streets
specifically. But if you really just don’t know and still want to do this letterbox,
let me know and we’ll work something out.)
Ok, so my current girlfriend and I (I know, I’m such a stud. “Riiiight”
(said with a Dr. Evil voice)) were letterboxing at Talcott Mountain (oooh another
clue for the location) and we were hot and tired and just wanted to go home, I
convinced her to take a quick detour to show her my favorite 23 foot
circumferenced sycamore tree. Then I planted a letter box there. "
And the clues to Boxing After Dark in Washington DC (also missing?) are
classic and not to be missed.
OK, OK, one more. I really like the poem for "To One in Baltimore."
So which clues made you smile?

You've already mentioned my all time favorite, "Boxing After Dark."
