REBUS Puzzle Game

[Gargamel]

Rebus - A rebus (Latin: "by things") is a kind of word puzzle that uses pictures or arranged text to represent words or parts of words.

Example:

EASY

= "The Big Easy"


Rules:

1) No Pics. Only creative usage of the forum's text editor.

1.a) IF we get to a point where we can't use just text anymore, only simple drawings done by the poster could be used. (Honor System People!)

2) Only the person who answers correctly on the previous puzzle can post the next one. They can pass, opening it up to anyone, if they choose.

3) Feel free to search for Rebuses (Rebi?), but you have to manually enter it.

4) Stay within the forum content rules!

I'll go first! It'll be easy, this time.

Oops. I missed rule 3. But "I understand" was obviously the right answer, so I'll forgive myself. You'll forgive me too, it you know what's good for you. :O:

This was done in the text edit here at Subsim.
Sorry that it posted an image.

Did you intend this to be an emoticon and a word or did the website software input this with out your intention?

[Madox58]

I typed it in with text.
The SubSim forum changed it to the image.

So lets do it this way and ignore the quotes
": ( credit"

[Platapus]

": ( credit"

that's what I thought, but it is still hurting my tiny brain. This is a toughie. :up:

[Gargamel]

The only answers I'm coming up with are having to do with proctology.... don't think that's right...

[Platapus]

The only answers I'm coming up with are having to do with proctology.... don't think that's right...

that was the "tract" I was on too. I think it was a dead end though. :D

[Madox58]

:o
:har:

[Platapus]

Hey!

Colon. Unless we are talking about a bank in Nebraska, we are talking butts :D

[Madox58]

I can see the confusion.
So I'll pass due to limits of text being converted.
But it would be bad or poor credit.

[Platapus]

Yeah, that should not count,

how about you coming up with another, since you were the last weiner!

[Madox58]

Meh... while that's not really cheating... it does take the fun out of it.

[Madox58]

If you use Google to find the clues?
Isn't that also to easy?

[Platapus]

Robin hood is correct. :yeah:

[Gargamel]

Meh, I think the fun is in the challenge of figuring it out.

[Platapus]

Stair is a pretty tough one as there are so many phrases about stairs. :hmmm:

[Madox58]

Start from the bottom and go up.

No.... That would be

Is 'horse' a typo for 'house' or is it supposed to be that way? Just checking. :D

[Penguin]

Aw man I never even came close.

That's gonna be hard to top!

[Growler]

Hmm.

As much as I'd love to post, I'm going to have to pass, as I don't know when I'd be able to reply to a winner. Tomorrow may be an interesting day.

Sorry.

:hmmm: though one.

The first one could be hole in one, can't think of the other ones, as this is all the Golf expressions that I know of... ;)

for all .... , mhh, no, more than 4 alls...

The colons do count, don't they?

[Gargamel]

only the periods don't count... the colons, apostrophes, and | thingys (bars?) count.

Made a few edits to clear it up some... .hope it helps

[Gargamel]

Hmmm looking at it again... (and after another quick edit to clean it up some more).. looks like there could be 2 good answers for this one.

[Gargamel]

movie quote

[Gargamel]

BIG movie quote.....

[frau kaleun]

The fact that it's a movie quote is just making me more POed that I can't figure it out. :haha:

[the_tyrant]

All for one and one for all?

[Penguin]

The fact that it's a movie quote is just making me more POed that I can't figure it out. :haha:

Actually this comforts me a little, as I've seen more movies dubbed than in the original language. ;)

My best shot would be "one for all, all for one", from the 3 musketeers, but this doesn't explain the weird chars...:cry:

Oh, one ring to rule them all?

[Gargamel]

:yeah::up::yeah:


I thought it was clever.... sigh

[Platapus]

I think we need to stick with ones that can be reduced to simple text unless we want to enable graphics.

[frau kaleun]

Aw crap now I gotta think of one...

30 days in a month?

[frau kaleun]

Close, sort of. :O:

[Gargamel]

The only other thing i had was 30 days in a pot stuck in the mud.... but that didn't sound as elegant.

[frau kaleun]

The first half is what's correct. (And the second part ain't too far off.)

Hint: it's a song title.
