gsksun4 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not a pure anagram, other letters are also involved. The usage IS regional, I will remind our readers that there are some places in the world besides Upstate and Downstate. Your clue about the letters led me to this clue. Am I headed in the right direction: Then I'll take "What's On a Thorny Bush" for $100 Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsksun4 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) IMHO, I think you are on the right track there, Glenn. We'll have to wait and see Ray. That letters clue was fun and it seems to work in that direction. I have no idea however what the Peppermint Patty thing's about. We should have a thing where after the feature is revealed, some of these clues could be explained. Might be interesting.

gsksun4 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So, any guesses? I think I've got it, but I'll wait to see what Horns Up has to say about that Thorny Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Priester Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wow, still no guesses on the man in the middle of the photo or the bonus ID of the guy in the background? The 'man in the middle' came from Our Lady of Lourdes, BITD The bonus baby comes from another junior corps in that general area of NJ.

HornsUp Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The White Rats had a significant bunch of flags that didn't match their uniform colors. The corps who called them White Rats also had some similar flags. But they didn't know where the White Rats name originated. I suspect the nick came from still another corps that had a couple of these somewhat rare flags. And they were not an Upstate corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these rare flags championship flags as in American Legion or VFW? Man, this is getting deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppermint patty? Well, Hershey has something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
