Idi-Yums: The Second: Revelations Revealed

***SPOILER ALERT*** Answers to my last post are given here. Check the previous post before reading these answers.

Sorry for the heinous delay...I went to SXSW last week and drank a few days of my life away. Well I'm back now and I'm happy to report that this time, if the world’s fate rested on everyone’s ability to guess some pictograms, Earth would be MUCH better off. In case there were some you missed, here are the answers:

The first one is bury the hatchet. Props to EK for getting it. Side note: That’s one of my favorite childhood books ever.

The second one is bull in a china closet/shop. Pretty much everybody got this one once they figured out who the fat guy holding the cue stick was. When I made the picture, I got sidetracked watching Jordan highlights on YouTube. That man was so motherfucking good at basketball.

The third one is shot in the dark. A couple of people guessed "blue moon," which don’t make no sense seeing as how the moon is practically the only thing in the whole picture that isn’t blue.

The picture of the horse, wait, I think that’s a rhino, is supposed to be tickle the ivories. After I made it, Raoul pointed out that elephants are the animals that have ivory. I did a Google search and the results were inconclusive. I know rhino horns are the same material that make up hair and fingernails, but the BBC calls their horns “rhino ivory” and I’m inclined to believe anyone with a British accent.

The fourth one is shoot the bull. Raoul got this one. A couple of people guessed “holy cow,” which is, well, wrong.

The fifth one is get over the hump. The only alteration I did to that picture was add the hurdler, honest.

The answer to the sixth one is a few tricks up my sleeve. Props again to EK for getting this one.

The last one is don’t blow it. Sorry, Pennywise.

Well played, everyone. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to start making up my own idioms to keep doing this, but I realize how ridiculously hard that would be. I mean, making a picture of "don't strangle your neighbor's donkeys after midnight" would be easy, but there's no way anyone would guess it. Until next time, this is Darrell Woolery saying: Don't strangle your neighbor's donkeys after midnight.

Idi-yums: The Second

Maybe it's because in the past month I've watched The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2, and The Karate Kid: Part 2, but I've been in a sequel kind of mood lately. Devoted readers and those not too lazy to scroll down will notice that a couple weeks ago I revisited my bucket list blog. Well, this week that funny feeling in your head is probably more deja vu...or I guess it could be the side effect of my telepathically robbing you of your memories. Shhhhhh, it's all gonna be alright...Anyway, the idioms blog was one of my favorites to make, so I thought it'd be fun to do it again. It was. So now, with just a little bit more ado, back by popular request (read: one person), here are some more pictogram type idiom puzzle things. I tried to make them a little easier this time. Answers in a bit (after I hear Raoul's ridiculous answers).

This one should be pretty easy, especially if your last name is Belcher (sorry, inside joke):



This one also shouldn't be too difficult, assuming you know who it is:



This one's a bit more clever. (Hint: In this one, it doesn't matter who it is)



My lady friend's first reaction to this picture was "Is that a rhino???" Apparently she's never seen an animal cracker. By the way, of course it's a goddamn rhino.



I love how this one turned out for some reason:



I don't even care if anyone gets this one...the end product was totally worth the effort:



Love me some Freedom cuffs:



This one probably should have been first, as a pep talk:
