Clue #6 (2011)

[rasta979]

From one BoRe to another, a war rages amongst champions. We're calling for divine intervention

garychardonnay:

2/8-It is. Now you just have to to put the pieces together. RT @tehjargonz0r: garychardonnay Is the answer to 6 on the boards yet?


2/8-Re: #Rooclue #6: This tick is not a tick, tick, tick nor is it a (chk, chk, chk). Someone on the boards was on the right track.


2/4-Re: #Rooclue #6 Throwing you a major hint: Look to a common arachnid.

2/4-Nope, but that's getting creative. RT @stevelnd_cleamr: about this bore, is it often made of a polymer w/ high molecular mass?

2/4-Not it. But we're getting somewhere. Don't forget "urban slang." RT suffer4fashion: garychardonnay B&R Brown Recluse?

2/4-It's not a Brown Recluse. Look for a different common arachnid. RT suffer4fashion: Only slang I can find for Brown Recluse is HOBO Spider?

2/4-I like where you're going with this. RT @dangle420: garychardonnay Does #6 have to do with a tick


2/4-Nope, no reggae here. RT @tehjargonz0r: garychardonnay I have a feeling clue 6 is referring to a Reggae band. Am I close?

2/3-Ha. Great question. No, it is not bigger than a breadbox. RT plasticpepper: garychardonnay This BoRe thing...is it bigger than a breadbox?

2/3-It refers to the "bore thingy." RT suffer4fashion: garychardonnay Clue #6, are B & R referring to what the bore thingy is or the band

2/1-No. And I'd steer clear of the metal for this one. RT @crockerw: garychardonnay The Sword? Am I right?

2/1-The BoRe is a thing, commonly heard in urban slang. It'll bore a hole. And possible give you a headache.

2/1-Pardon me, *possibly* give you a headache. And yes, Mr. Belgian Manders, I believe it would be painful.


1/31-'ll be there shortly. I'm writing more super-stumping clues. RT SteveoKnievo: garychardonnay Gary, Clue 6 has us completely stumped.


1/31-Neither. RT @fbmilk: garychardonnay does BoRe have anything to do with a card game , or the classic bach song?


1/28-Please note that "BoRe" is spelled correctly and with an intentionally capitalized "B" and "R."

1/28-No refrence to the Inforoo boards. RT @betharoo42: garychardonnay #rooclue 6 referring to the "boards" lol...


1/28-Sorry. RT gypsystardust: @bonnaroo garychardonnay lve come to the conclusion that clue #6 is #culture club.tell me im right.

1/28-Incorrect, ma'am. RT agenthal: garychardonnay Not the boards, then is it a reference to two Bonnaroo Regulars? (so two bands/artists?)

1/28-On both counts. #itsadoosie RT agenthal: garychardonnay on both counts? Can't figure out what BoRe means then


1/28-Not from what I can tell. RT rasta979: garychardonnay According to the roo board 1st post for clue 6...are we treading the right path

Are you going to keep this thing updated?

[cokes]

Indeed. I have set a precedent!

[rasta979]

yea I am...otherwise why bother...checking twitter and nada yet

[zen]

wait...do we have to figure out what the clue is and then figure out the clue?

[emoney]

Jeez, way to screw up the thread title syntax...

[rasta979]

it was on Bonnaroo radio, I was away from anything to write with...I am sure it will be given again...just gotta wait and find it. I have tweeted Gary and Katie to see about the text version

This made me laugh

[cokes]

"from one boar to another, a war rages amongst champions. we are calling for divine intervention"

it was either boar or board

[emoney]

Tortoise.

[sleepyh]

Mastodon?

see Crack the Skye

That quote doesn't make me think of Crack The Skye at all, and I've listened to that album at least 500 times, most of all when I'm in the process of getting girls pregnant.

[cokes]

yeah, aside from the word "divine", which makes me think of Divinations, there's no Mastodon in that at all.

it'd be like saying "ARCADE FIRE!" because the clue has "Intervention" in it

[Conway]

are you sure its not boer as in the Boer Wars?

[rasta979]

Unsure of any spelling or grammer yet...waiting for the text version

[zen]

from wikipedia: (boars/pigs in music)

"Cincinnati Dancing Pig" was a 1950 hit song by country music singer Red Foley
"Piggy Pig Pig" from Procol Harum's album Home
"Pigs on the Wing" and "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" (only metaphorically pigs) in Pink Floyd's album Animals
The "Pink Floyd pigs"
The metaphorical "War Pigs" in Black Sabbath's protest song, depicting politicians as "War Pigs" who send brainwashed people off to war.
"Pig" from Steve Vai's album Sex and Religion
Still more metaphorical pigs in The Beatles' song "Piggies"
March of the Pigs and Piggy by Nine Inch Nails
"Pigs in Zen" is a song on the debut album of rock group Jane's Addiction
"Pig" from Seether's albums Fragile and Disclaimer (& Disclaimer II)

I think we can rule out Red Foley.

[foodforcrows]

If the word is "Board" then we got a whole new twist.
I'm thinkin board games.

Im not sure, Boer is a Dutch word for Farmer.

[nthfr]

if Boer was pronounced correctly in line with the Dutch pronunciation, it wouldn't sound like boar or board

[SteveoKnievo]

Boers are South Africans of Dutch ancestry.

it was kinda garbled when she said whatever the word was. the rest of it was clear enough.

[Conway]

This clue is also making me think of Animal Farm

[itrainmonkeys]

i'm waiting for the tweet with the official spellings

[rasta979]

^^word

[grozphan]

My quick thought is Black Sabbath due to War Pigs but it can't be that easy.

[GOUGEaway]

man i'm quacking sick of these clues
