Oh and that was going so well too, tying you buggas up in knots... well done, skidman :haha::salute:

Note: he is dressed, of course, as the King of Siam from "The King And I" movie

https://i.imgur.com/q0gsglT.jpg

[skidman]

I like the soviet style of Yul's head. A handsome man! (Hm. We share the same -hm- hairstyle :D).

What and where is this?

[Eichhörnchen]

Thank you, my friend :)

Now you'll never guess where or what this is!

I'll be kind and drip-feed further pictures, but you may as well give up now :haha:

[Catfish]

A picture/painting?
Looks like a photorealistic painting. And with this, i'm out.

[skidman]

a model house/appartment ("dollhouse")?

[Eichhörnchen]

Okay you guys have quickly got what it is (a model) but what place is it supposed to represent? Where is it supposed to be?

https://i.imgur.com/NNlxla0.jpg Here's another piece

[skidman]

Educational use (ie. in a museum)?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Buddahaid]

Well it says EXIT so I'd guess in the USA. GTA?

[Eichhörnchen]

Well we say 'EXIT' too, but yes it's in the US. Not GTA though... it's a physical model

[mapuc]

Is it from a game ?

Markus

[Eisenwurst]

Pow's room in Colditz.

[Buddahaid]

It looks like an older building but that water cooler is modern.

[Aktungbby]

a police station possbly TV's Barney Miller?

[Buddahaid]

a police station possbly TV's Barney Miller?

Yeah, but not that flat of a model. It does look like a NYPD precinct station a la Car 54 Where Are You type, but that water cooler stands out in my mind. Still contemplating.....

[Eisenwurst]

Nix on Colditz.

Kojak's workplace model of.

[Eichhörnchen]

Great detectve work! My next post was going to be this:

https://i.imgur.com/pwQZjtJ.jpg ... and heavily suggest the word "Detectives" right there

But you guys already got there! skidman's use of the word 'dollhouse' was good... but I reckoned I didn't need to mention the play-figures right away and confuse things (are they dolls?) These US diorama type playsets were available from the 'Seers' catalogue way back, and this one is called "Kojak's Headquarters"

[Eisenwurst]

Jeez they're coming thick and fast. I got a beauty ( that's what I tell all the girls ) I got to tweek it a bit. It might be a bit controversial for some.

But I'm sure it'll all be ok.

Won't be long.

[Eichhörnchen]

But it might not be ok... and I just don't know how you got that

[Eisenwurst]

OK....what's going on here then?????

Nothing bad, trust me.

Squirrel fertility dance ????? No sorry.

Eich.. you have a PM. :)

P.S. Happy Hong Kong Rockers Day.

[Eichhörnchen]

Aussie Druids... dancing around an idol made out of empty Four-X tinnies?

[Eisenwurst]

I'd love to say yes...but sadly no.....maybe in Queensland - where they drink that stuff :03:

Talking booze... the best Aussie beer is anything by Coopers, or Carlton Draught, or Reschs here in Sydney.......OK OK... back to the puzzle, a clue maybe......

There's a weird connection with John Lennon.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this in Australia?

[bracer]

Or Japan?

[Eisenwurst]

Eich. Not Australia.

bracer. Yes Japan. ( where all the good stuff happens ).

[Eichhörnchen]

Is idiocy an important part of this?

[Eisenwurst]

:o Good Lord no !!!!!

This is a deadly serious, honourable Rite. :yep: :yep: :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it televised?

[Aktungbby]

IS IT Seijin no Hi OR 'COMING OF AGE DAY? :x OR AN AMISH Rumschpringe ORGY:O:

[bracer]

Related to Yoko Ono somehow?

[Eisenwurst]

Eich.. No. There wouldn't be much interest ( at least in Japan ) if it was. The rest of the World....well they'd be stunned. :yep:

Aktung.... No....it's something completely "off the planet" that the Japanese excel at. :yep:

bracer....No....the connection is something he once said that got him into a bit of trouble.

[Aktungbby]

bracer....No....the connection is something he once said that got him into a bit of trouble.Jesus!"happiness is a warm gun??":O:

[skidman]

Members of the Takenuchi and Savaguchi clans at the tomb of Jesus in Shingo.

This is really bizarre. I mean, everybody knows Hitler did not commit suicide in Berlin in 1945 but took a U-Boat to South America and later became shift supervisor at Volkswagen in Sao Paulo, but to believe Jesus moved to Japan and died there at the age of 106...

[Eichhörnchen]

^ :har::haha::har:

[Eisenwurst]

skidman san , yes you are correct.

The link below gives the story both in an amusing version - like they tell the tourists, and what it's really about - an embarassing attempt to drum up some tourist dollars in the 1930s.

I love Jesus's Will where he signs himself as "Christmas God".

http://www.zetetique.ldh.org/herai_en.html

Gremlins won't let me post a pic of the dance.

Aktung and bracer....it's a tenuous connection, but John Lennon was quoted as saying that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

Excellent reading there :haha:

So (This is going to be a hard one): Who is this and what is he doing?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n9gjy5zuyv8yt9/ftft.png?raw=1

[Cyborg322]

Hammer ?

[u crank]

Is this person alive today?

[Eisenwurst]

The wild eyes "tell" me Steve Irwin, as to what he's doing....probably reading Jesus in Shingo :03:

[skidman]

Cyborg322: No Hammer involved here

u cranck: Honestly I don't know and neither does the Internet. He could be alive. That's for sure.

Big E: Not Steve Irwin

[Aktungbby]

VIEWING ALIENS?

[skidman]

No no. It's not what he is viewing. There is something else happening, something most of us take for granted.

[Rockstar]

Shinto Kanamara Matsuri?

[skidman]

Erm... ...no. These eyes are five years old.

[Aktungbby]

HEY! I SAW MY FIRST ALIEN AT FIVE!:arrgh!:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is from a movie still?

[skidman]

No, a (fairly) famous historical photo.

[Buddahaid]

Santa is real.

[Eichhörnchen]

1960s?

[skidman]

Yep, early sixties.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it the Milky Bar Kid? (I always wanted to just punch him in the face)

[skidman]

Not the Milky Bar Kid. The shot was taken in Peoria, Illinois.

[Eichhörnchen]

This is driving me mad now... we needs a clue

Looking at boys' eyes in 'vintage Peoria' only gets me stuff like this:

I consider making and listening to music one of the most important things in my life. This photo, like all those videos on youtube showing deaf people trying out their implanted hearing aid for the first time, hearing their partner's / kid's voices for the first time, listening to music for the first time in their life, always shakes my emotions. Take a look at Harold's face. Try to imagine what is going on in his mind in this very moment.

Over to Mr. Buna :salute:

[Jimbuna]

That was a really interesting one :yep:

Back soon.

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not but by means of a clue you are both headed in the right direction.

[Eichhörnchen]

It's a Furby

Later on came the 'Furskins'... but the less said about that the better

[skidman]

^Puh! Now my eyes hurt :haha:

[Jimbuna]

It's a Furby

Later on came the 'Furskins'... but the less said about that the better

Yep, surprised it took so long because just about every other fur toy had been mentioned.

https://i.postimg.cc/sDKCqxpD/Furby.jpg (https://postimg.cc/crKz8s9V)

[Eichhörnchen]

[skidman]

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Aktungbby]

how many people does it seat?

[Buddahaid]

Something from Burning Man?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Aktung: I believe 5 to 6

@ Buddababy: Nope

[Catfish]

re "Furby"
Yep, surprised it took so long because just about every other fur toy had been mentioned.
I never saw a Furby before, and now i wish i hadn't :88)

@Eich so it has an engine and can accomodate 6-8 persons. But does it move?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ 5 to 6 persons and yes it moves... fast

[u crank]

Does it move on land?

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, especially in cold climates

[Catfish]

A motorized sleigh, like an ice speedster? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

I had to google that... no it's not that

[bracer]

Is it a military vehicle?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Jimbuna]

A vehicle used for research purposes?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Buddahaid]

Seems to leave hovercraft.

[Aktungbby]

RUSSIAN MADE?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not a hovercraft and not Russian... clue coming along soon I think

[Catfish]

So it is fast in cold regions. Now is it a sleigh? Or some kind of a four-man-bob?

[bracer]

Does it have tracks?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish: Not a sleigh or a bob

@ bracer: Yes

[Jimbuna]

https://www.motorious.com/articles/features/346950/the-incredible-story-of-americas-lost-1939-antarctic-snow-cruiser

[Aktungbby]

is it used in antartica?

[Eichhörnchen]

No; as far as I can find out this has only been used in Iceland

[Buddahaid]

Similar but not the Irish. These are Norse drums.

[Aktungbby]

:hmmm: ...THOSE DAMN VIKINGS WENT EVERYWHERE!:O:

The drum is one of the oldest musical instruments, and it was of course also known in Scandinavia, however, there has not been found any drums so far. It is speculated that the drums the Vikings used were something similar to either the Irish bodhran drum or the skin-headed drums used by the Sami people in northern Scandinavia.
If the Vikings used drums just for their ceremonial rituals or also as part of their music, is something we simply do not know, but it would be kinda odd if they didn’t.

[Catfish]

Howe-Ripsaw? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

So, is it rusty or ragged? :shucks:

To be fair, this one small part of it may be regarded as ragged... but it is a tool and partially worn. The rest of the vehicle is clean

And it's not a Howe Ripsaw

[Catfish]

One track?

[Aktungbby]

cutting or scraping tool?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish: more than one track

@ Aktung: more of a scraping tool

CLUE: harking back to Catfish's question... while this isn't itself a 'Ripsaw', there is such a vehicle associated with it

[Aktungbby]

ARE PEOPLE EMPLOYED TO DRIVE IT?

[Eichhörnchen]

One man in particular was employed to drive it... there may have been other drivers employed besides him, though

[Catfish]

Used in a film?

I'll put the next one up tomorrow, busy clearing the conservatory in preparation for the new improved roof.

Think of one of the services you might expect from a jeweller.

[bracer]

Would other artisans in the shopping street use the tool?

[Jimbuna]

Would other artisans in the shopping street use the tool?

Can't say with certainty but definitely mostly used in a jewellers shop.

[Jimbuna]

Not ring sizing.

Clue: I should imagine many of us have had use of this tool in the past. I know I certainly have.
