First clue: title of the image: amusing!.jpg Amusement park. exclamation point.

Halloween was a clue= huge halloweekend every year.

BTW - in case someone gripes about burying a clue in the title of the picture, thats why I gave a SECOND clue and referenced that there was another hidden clue somewhere else.
Uhh, I noticed the title. I used it as a clue, too. ...but that's just good detective work, not a clue from you.
I respectfully beg to differ. I left it as a clue. You found it from your good detective work. Sorry that you didn't realize it was a clue I left intentionally. But I could have named the image anything I wanted.

Smash, the notpr0n of Google Earth.


Jack Kennedy was shot from that "book suppository building, Sir!" in Dallas, Texas.

I'm never on DLT during the day, so if I'm right, I pass to Smash.

No ma'am. I am not. Unfortunately I am going out of town so even if I post an item, I can't comment on it's rightness.

I say give it to: Exelis. Exelis go!

Not sure why I deserve the honor, but thanks. Maybe you just want me to be out of the competition while one of the best competitors is out of town. :blink: (j/k) Here goes:

Hint: Eurasian Continent

I think this one will be a toughie, but I"m going to have to choose my clues carefully - If I say too much it will get easy fairly quickly, I think.

Yes, it's a statue. I thought that much was obvious, at least to expert eyes such as yours.

I'll even go so far as to note it's size in comparison to the cars, as well as the shadow it casts, and note that those factors place it in the category of "big fucking statue".

Well, that's pretty much what I thought. And yes, my expert eyes had already noted its large size compared to the cars whizzing by on the expressways.

One would think you could Google a statue that big and find the answer pretty quickly.



Turns out you can...Rodina Mat (Mother Motherland), Kiev, Ukraine.

My thoughts exactly, I'd gotten to the former Soviet Union but was stuck on a different giant fucking woman with a sword.


Ah well, I can't play anyways.

Damn.

I should have let you work on it more.

Good job.

The residents of Kiev call her "funny lady", not Rodina Mat, because it's awful funny how the government could pay for that much titanium but not feed the people or do a better job with Chernobyl.

ya rly.

I think I read once that Russia is the world's most titanium-rich nation. Explains how they made hundreds of jet fighters and entire submarine hulls out of the stuff.

Guess I should see about getting a new pic up...
