I'm pretty sure about the first 7 pairs (though I have doubts about #4) as well as the last 6:<br /><br />1: Baby Players<br />2: Rattle Club<br />3: Snake Foot<br />4: River Candle<br />5: Bed Pin<br />6: Rest Striped<br />7: Home Bass<br /><br />13: Sergeant Cap<br />14: Slaughter Gun<br />15: House Smoke<br />16: Call Screen<br />17: Center Test<br />18: Field Pattern<br /><br />I'm also pretty sure on the following groupings of 3 pairs, in order:<br /><br />Pay Shoot<br />Dirt Up<br />Poor Front<br /><br />That leaves two. The one about the sod, maybe C******* Land? The one about the ironic fit which Sax suggested is Skin F*****.<br /><br />I haven't come up with entries for these two that would connect the groups I know about so I assume the solution will be a missing pair that links the non-contiguous words.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029038450777105997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-63018572369327492442010-11-27T21:30:30.040-08:002010-11-27T21:30:30.040-08:00Did someone write Skin Flute?Did someone write Skin Flute?spankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475364266967706949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-30036405382988474262010-11-27T18:01:03.253-08:002010-11-27T18:01:03.253-08:00Truly frightening, Sax.Truly frightening, Sax.Eric Karroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-31175898596001008952010-11-27T17:38:44.664-08:002010-11-27T17:38:44.664-08:00@karina: yikes!
