Hmmm, I was thinking it had to be two syllables. It works that way too, I think. Edit: the vodka doesn't work, but everything else fits in with the two syllables only. Is that a coincidence, or does it relate to your method?

In the Orange Hockey Locker there are cattle but no cows, a monkey, but no gorillas, and Ronald Wilson Reagan is most welcome.

Yeah, ok I had it wrong. Now I can't think of any other ways. Dantes examples also work with 2 syllables. Posts: 2054 | Registered: Nov 2005

Oooh the funnest is when you don't get it yet. I'm still puzzling out the orange hockey locker.

Unless I am much mistaken, you mean 'cows but no cattle', don't you?

No it is cattle but no cows in the hockey locker and the green glass door for that matter.
It wasn't obvious to me, Xavier, until you posted like that. Nice one! I can store my movies in my orange hockey locker but not my computer games.
OK here is a hard one... Through the Looking Glass, I can read a clock but I don't see numbers; I can eat bread but not cake; I can wear blue, brown, black or green but not yellow, red, or orange.

In the Orange Hockey Locker I can bring my kitten but not my cat, a locket but not a frame, the adding engine but not the calculator. Posts: 6246 | Registered: Aug 2004

I'm still working on the Looking Glass, but it's very clear that I can giggle but not laugh in the Orange Hockey Locker.

Just to make sure I do understand the OHL: I can be stupid and obtuse, but I can't be perceptive or sharp. I can take months figuring out the OHL, but not weeks or days.

I think I figured out the looking glass. I can run track but I can't play basketball. I can wear shorts, but not pants. I can be broke, but not bankrupt. Am I right?

Through the looking glass the days are short, not long, it's not cold, just a bit chilly. Neither windy nor hot, it is rather pleasant through the looking glass. Through the looking glass life is not good, it's great!

By George, I think I've got it! Through the looking glass I can wear a sweater when it's chilly, but not a jacket if it's windy. (Which it never is.) Yes?
ETA: I guess it could be breezy though....

It is chilly but not windy. But the sweater is out, jacket too. However, you could wear a shell, swallowtail, posteen, or juppon to keep snuggly. Earmuffs, too.

What? Wait. I thought those things (shell, swallowtail et. al.) were all behind the Green Glass Door - but through the Looking Glass?
I'm getting really confused. (Which, if I understand correctly, is not allowed behind the green glass door, in the orange hockey locker, OR through the looking glass.)

LOL! I was afraid that we might confuse all our rules.
Explination: It is chilly but not windy (both in the looking glass and behind the green glass door). But the sweater is out, jacket too (the jacket would be in for the locker and the sweater would be in for the looking glass but they would both be out for the green glass door). However, you could wear a shell (LG only), swallowtail (LG only), posteen, or juppon (OHL only) to keep snuggly (LG only but these all work for the green glass door). Earmuffs, too (ditto).
Thus KQ was posting using the GGD rules. (Did I use 'thus' correctly there?)

Jenna, you could be befuddled behind the green glass door, stumped in the looking glass and addled in the orange hockey locker.

I completely don't get the looking glass. I guess I'll just have to keep reading what people have posted.

On this page, CRash, SteveRogers and Friday can be seen in the looking glass but not me, Jenna, KetchupQueen, Gaal, Dante, Xavier, Tatiana, King of Men, SarcasticP, Rivka, or MidnightBlue.

And can someone confirm if I've gotten the Looking Glass and Orange Hockey Locker right?

Everyone posting has been right so far (yea!) but WillB's post confuses me. Which rule are you using? If it is GGD, you are right but for all the others, you're wrong.
