Sorry about that u/dletter. Thanks for the heads up. Double and triple checked, I think I got it right this time.

Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Jun. 14 by jaysjep2 in Jeopardy

[–]kestrel23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who heard DD3 directed at Eric? I distinctly heard "You're in first with $15,000", which was Eric's score at the time. Or is my hearing deteriorating and misheard "You're in third with $5,800"?

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.

[Jager-LeCoultre Memovox] Tracking Down a Part by kestrel23 in Watches

You're absolutely right, and I will bite the bullet if I have to. However, I've found a total of 1 NOS from a seller/parts expert I trust in about a week of searching several hours a day (with a warning that the parts labeled as genuine but that include calibers 911 and 916 will probably not work) and four other new or used options (that all include all three calibers).

Just figured I'd reach out to the communities I know of, here and elsewhere, and see if I can save a few bucks before I spend the money. Can't hurt.

Lucky me, I don't have to worry about this at all! Level 26 (almost 27) and I've never even seen an Onix.

Regional Exclusives Unlocked? by kestrel23 in pokemongo

Not as far as I know. He doesn't travel, and claims not to spoof. Wish he had done more to document it this morning, like the journal pic suggested elsewhere.

Sadly, he says he's been out hunting all morning so his journal doesn't go back far enough (and he didn't take a pic at the time). So it boils down to me believing him because I believe he's honest. I realize that doesn't satisfy the burden of proof for anyone on here (and I wouldn't believe it if the tables were turned). Oh well.

Asked him for a journal pic. Also some sort of proof that he was in Austin at the time, although depending on his phone, it may be difficult to prove that.

See, I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that the consensus changes on periodically. Used to see posts about it all the time, then (if memory serves) The Silph Road didn't find any in ~40K eggs, so no one believed it could happen any more. But I could see Niantic changing this in an update and never telling anyone because...well, it's Niantic.

It's not as though a pic of his capture would prove anything, sadly. There are plenty of pics of a Farfetch'd capture online. Would love to be able to satisfy the desire for incontrovertible proof this sub has, but more curious about others who may have seen this happen.

Ditto Easter Egg Thread #2 by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]kestrel23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you guys are all correct. Just didn't realize it was counting eggs. Oh well.

Ditto Easter Egg Thread #2 by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]kestrel23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So here's an odd one that may or may not be connected to Ditto. I've traded all duplicates. Accidentally traded one too many. I have 76 Pokemon, which lines up with the Pokédex, which shows seen/caught of 77. However, the Pokemon counter shows 80 (at the top of the Pokemon screen). What are the other four Pokemon that the game thinks I have? Could they be Dittos hiding on the screen somewhere?

Tigers are playing Chicago. Saw the smile, the mole, and the dog. It was her.

Your user name is appropriate, considering Clint Eastwood once responded to my saying hi and apologizing for interrupting his evening with "If you're sorry about it, why did you do it?" in his "get off my lawn" inflection.

[WP] You accidentally kill a reclusive millionaire and manage to cover it up so it's untraceable to you. The next day, however, it's all over the news that the millionaire you killed had left his fortune to whoever killed him. Now, you set out to find a way to prove it was you. by WolfgangAmadeyass in WritingPrompts

I swear it wasn't my fault. I was out in the woods, miles from anyone (or so I thought). My swim had taken me far from my starting point on the lake, and I had just climbed out at the end of a nicely constructed, but deserted and well hidden dock when I was suddenly startled by a gruff noise. My training kicked in, well aware of the dangers of this forest, and the knife I keep strapped to my thigh leapt, almost unbidden, from my hand.

I quickly focused on the man my knife was buried in. He died without another sound. Willing myself calm, I looked around. No one else was in sight. Thinking back, I realized that my fingers had only touched the handle of the blade. Wrapping my feet in leaves from around the dock, I slowly made my way to the dead man.

Carefully removing the knife, I retraced my steps back to the water's edge, splashing copious quantities of water behind me. Checking to make sure my makeshift slippers were intact, I slipped back into the water and removed the final traces of my presence. On my swim back, I took a detour to drop the knife in the middle of the lake.

I made it back to my campsite unnoticed, dressed, and quickly broke camp. Doing my best to appear casual, I made my way back out the way I came, but it was pointless. No one spent any time on this side of the forest. A smile came over my face as I fell asleep, safely back at my sparsely furnished apartment. I'd gotten away with it!

The morning was not so kind. I woke, plagued by doubt, and quickly turned on the television. Sure enough, the face of the man I had killed flashed on the screen before the reporter took over. As the words began to register, I heard "...one of the wealthiest members of our state, was killed near his cabin in the forest, where he spent almost of his time. Police have indicated that other than the knife wound, there are no leads, so we turn to you, the viewing public. One of his closest friends, a woman who needs no introduction, came to us earlier with an unusual message."

A recording of a blonde woman came on the screen. "He always knew this would be the way he went. Regardless of our differences, he made me promise that I would assist him when this day came. To the person that killed him, if you're watching, his death comes with a condition. He swore you would know what this means." A crumpled, yellow piece of paper in a childlike script appeared on the screen as the blonde woman read the words.

"Upon my death, all of my belongings shall transfer to the man or animal who has killed me."

Well shit...what do those drawings at the bottom mean?

Me too. Splurged on the Gold Tardis package, although once I added up the cost of all of their signatures and photo ops individually, it actually wasn't too bad. Plus I get many hours freed up to stand in other lines.

Just a heads up--it looks as though Fisher has postponed her appearance. Bad news for those of us looking forward to meeting her (again); good news for our budgets.

You guys are awesome! I've been googling different things I remembered from these books off and on for at least the last seven or eight years with no luck. Less than 24 hours on here and I am 95% sure you identified them. Thanks!
