"Let it all hang out" (extended version)
by MARY AND the ALIENNE


Mirzipan therefore wins an Eau Bénite.

The answer for Hinkipity Pinkipity: cell component camera-induced muscle reaction was "protoplasm photo-spasm." Drevniok came closest with "hyaloplasm photospasm". Honourable mention goes to Goodladd's "ribosomic Kodakrome tic". However, there was no prize as this was not an official Battle of Wits.

This week's battle:


Said the Gramophone featured a song this week called "Thirty Days", in which is sung the immortal line: "She gonna send out a world-wide hoodoo." Explain what a world-wide hoodoo is and how one goes about sending it.

The winner receives a 90-gram Vachon lemon pie.


You have until All-Saint's Day.

The hoodoos (huit-deux) are the Royal 82e Regiment, based out of Quebec City. They are sent out to battle during World Wars.

OK, that was me. Here I am, laughing at my own joke. Ba-HA!

Hoodoos are an ethnic group from Rwanda. They are world wide because they were expelled by the Tutsis.

It's a collection of owl poop from various exotic locales. And you can use FedEx.

A hoodoo is a hood for an igloo. They can be sent worldwide, but there's no point since igloos only need hoods in cold climates.

A Hoodoo was a precursor to the modern-day Amber Alert. Though less sophisticated, it was broader in scope and many worldwide hoodoos were successful in finding missing children. Although sometimes referred to by it's proper name, "Who'd do dat?", the alert was most commonly known by it's telegraph-abbreviated name, hoodoo.

The description of the missing child was approximated by morse code pictures, such as the infamous left-handed boy with baseball cap ):P
