Just for a bit of fun the MCM Transatlantic Whistle Detective Agency have cobbled together this quick quiz for you!
Spot the Chifflers from these cryptic clues!
Some are clues to usernames, some to signatures, some just to old postings! Not everyone is here, I know, but there’s 1962 chifflers, so we can’t do everyone first time out! If you’re not here, don’t get mad, get even!
Also, please don’t post any answers here, you can e-mail them to me, but feel free to post comments, additions, and improvements!
First prize is a feeling of smugness, Second prize a glow of satisfaction,
Third prize a serene smile.
We’ll be posting all the answers up in a week or so.

Don’t know enough of you to tell…but I had a guess at a few…I look forward to seeing the answers later on…too bad I am not well-enough known to be included!
Well, I appreciate. Really touched–hell it does feel better than a kick in the buttocks.
Now I can’t wait for the full answer !!!
But I’m not responding upon this.
See, I’m confused about that guy(?) #5. The thing is Reynard is a fox in the original Roman. Wolfie is supposed to be named Ysengrin, you knnnigggget. So I don’t know if you’re referring to a foxie she-wolf, or a wolfy he-fox
Sam you deleted it, now I’m the stupid one again. Go ahead and laugh your evil laugh, I know what was there. I do I tell ya, I’m not seeing things again am I. Lousy &*%#$ cold medicine guess you shouldn’t drink the whole bottle.
Hey Mark,
Don’t beat yourself, up, Martin and I forgive you (at least, I’m sure he would if he knew, he’s gone off to spend a week in the lovely English countryside). It’s just a bit of fun and maybe will help lighten recent Board tensions. We’ve been planning something similar for a couple of weeks but didn’t have the time to really get into what we wanted to do, so we settled for the cryptic name thing. He is actually the brain behind most of them…he had to tell me a bunch of them because even I couldn’t guess. My wits are not as sharp and clever as many of you Chiffers! (Or maybe my mind has turned to mush with being the mother of three cute but demanding little kids.)
Zoob,
I think by “reynard” he just means the color of a fox. Here’s another one for you: can you guess who this is?
The clue:
Kai,
Don’t feel bad–just post more often, my dear sis! I know, I know, you’re SO busy.

Muhah hah hah! You never know when I might be watching, Ceesmeister! Bwa ha ha ha!
Mark, no prob, but you could always go back and edit the post to delete your guesses! (Not saying if they’re right yet!). Only 207 views, so many people may not have seen them yet!
Anyhoo, everybody have a good time now, be good and play nice while I’m gone!
