Help needed with Marlboro contest question

my eyes are burning-- when was the last time i ate? i smoke too much---

Alright all day long I've been reading and reading on question 44. The fact that we have been reading the question wrong so to speak has me wondering.... So I thought that I'd reread the question and I'm crazy cuz I keep reading it the same way. I have a feeling that we are looking at billy bobs but I don't find it to be correct. Or at least not to fit in with how I read the question. Now maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is Billy Bobs but I can't get it to fit. Its a lot like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. They don't fit well now do they? So from reading Rats clues and looking into it I feel he must have the wrong answer. Its not uncomon. If you get a smaller peg you can make it fit in a round hole. But just because you get it to fit don't make it correct if you get what I mean. So I'll keep looking for the answer on 44. Again I thank Rat for the help but I don't feel his help leads to a right answer at least not this time. It has in the past. Okay anyhow just putting in my 10 cents worth.

Thanks Des for the clue on #44 but I cannot se how it fits with the clue book. Quit impressed by the place.

Anyone have any clues on this one and is it really on an Avenue?

Thanks,

Karen

i could see how it would fit the first part of the clue i'm looking at restaurants around this place will keep you guys posted.

My eyes are so bugged out from the last two....
I was thinking What if the bar and restaurant has nothing to do with a casino except that the name rymes with it, and to say you cant come here to gamble or bet just reasures that its only the ryming that it has in common. And then You swing me I swing you, the only dance I know of that does that and is quite known for is the square dance. "Swing your partner" That would make two people swing each other. So I was thinking of a square dance joint. I am throwing all my thoughts out there I am tired and want to find a dang answer and get some sleep.

Hi all

So it has been a LONG time since I last visited this site due to my being out of town and did not bring my laptop along. So I am behind the curve a little, but I have to commend you guys for doing a great job ( I wish I only had two left ) and helping each other out. I thought I could come in here and help but looks like you guys are truckin' along. Give me a couple of days to catch up and hopefully I can offer some substantial clues (cause right now mine are junk)

My email address is:

Hopefully I can offer something to the table

I agree with Taz - I find no correlation between the clue and Billy Bobs. As much as I love the place and would love to have it fit.

Desert has been very helpful in the past and I thank him, and I wish I could figure out how we are reading this clue "just one way" as he stated. I feel sure it has a meaning we are missing because he has been "dead on" on some of the others.

My primary problem with this darn clue is do we HAVE to find the first part (the new floor - you swing me-I swing you) in order to find the answer (bar & restaurant.)
Does anyone think they are 1 and the same? Does the bar & restaurant have a new floor and where the "swing" part applies to?

Oh crap I'm just babbling...............

WELCOME BACK REDDCAPP

The one that we are all stuck on is 44 if you bring this i'm sure all of us would gladly be your slave on the rest

Brainfart is soooooo right on that one. I think most are still stuck on 44 and 43 willing to trade anything for a nudge in the right direction.

wick I think we are talking 2 different places ....the reason i said i could see how dessert could be on to something is in the history of this place it was used aa a live rink and then it says they put in the dance floor if you think of the stock (hooves) scratching it it makes since...I am looking in to surrounding place now .....hell at this point i would gladly pay for the damn answer lol.

AH-h-h-h-h Thank you so much brain!!!!!!!! At last!! That's what I was asking for!!! Just some help in understanding this da** clue. Thank you. I'll be glad to help you if I have one you need.

I am thinking maybe you have to drive down the avenue that sounds like casino to that bar and restaurant.... Checking this out now.

Let you know,

Karen

thats the only one i have left till team meeting for now.what do you have left?? maybe i can help.

That's a thought. I have been looking at places "sounding like" casino

On #44 are you guys thinking the place could possibly be on rodeo plaza??? You have to go down exchange ave to get to it....hhhmmm have to look into it more.

Alright lets break this clue down.

After so many years, they wore down the floor,
Put in a new one in and scuffed it some more.
( Okay now I don't see how this could be miss read. The bar restaurant has a new floor at some time)

You swing me, I swing you
we drive down the avenue.
( okay so on the way to the bar we drive down an avenue?)

We're almost where we want to go.
It sounds alot like th e word, casino.
( What sounds like casino? the bar and restaurant or the avenue we are driving down?)

No poker and no roulette
You can't come here to gamble or bet.
( okay so you can't gamble or bet. That can't be read wrong)

Now don't stop and begin to flaunt--
Name this here bar and restaurant.
( okay part of this is simple they want the name of a bar AND restaurant. Don't know about the flaunt part.)

So did I break it down correctly?

So from what I can tell is everyone is looking at Billy bobs. I still say its like getting a small square peg to fit in a large round hole. The reason I say that is part of the clue says you can't gamble or bet. And they have slot's there, you gamble at the slots. So that would make it not fit right? I'm telling you I just don't think it fits 100%. However like many others I'm willing to write down anything at this point in time. LOL

yes JRat i thinkyou have--

new floor
swing dancing
drive down ave
rodeo sounds a little like casino
no betting but they do have a game room
flaunt to rhyme with restaurant-
i think this is what desert rat was pointing us to
if we take each verse one at a time it does fit-- am i so tired i am trying to make it fit? good possibility---

now-- i am still trying to find the culinary handle link on 87-- anyone? please???

Now 87 I could help with. But not in public forum. I'll send a hint in an email.

BUT>>>it could also lead you to believe they/we have left the place with the new floor where we/they were swing dancing and driven on down the avenue to another place.

This part of the Billy Bob's theory could be right based on all the businesses together there.

But gotta find more...........
Darn!!!!!! I like to have NEVER got a post to register. Anybody else having a prob???
