yes, Hab. You got it right. But do you know why I chose Marching Band as a jumble? This was in response to your comment about someone in No. Iowa choosing seguaro as a word.
June 18, 2005, 19:47
haberdasher
Dunno about that. The only reason I know about seguaro cactus is from a 35-year-old Text Adventure program called the Lost Dutchman's Gold mine...
And I'm not sure I see the how the marching band gives you knowledge of cactuses. Unless Iowa marching band took you to cactus country?

no, silly. Actually I wasn't trying to connect the two. Marching Band was my North Iowa clue. I come from Mason City, IA. We have a famous footbridge here. Do I need to provide more clues?
