jmh123 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 You are one evil, evil girl. Of course I already knew that. I've got half the clue, but I'm stuck on the troubling news. "She Said Yes" would qualify, but he recorded that as a demo. What about "Oh Girl"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfly172 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 NEXT CLUE: The pipe-coral is also known as the organ pipe coral. Oh and I meant pipe coral...tube...pipe...same thing, lol. And this is supposed to help in some way? The Organ pipe coral (Tubipora musica) is an alcyonarian coral native to the waters of the Indian Ocean and the central and western regions of the Pacific Ocean . It is the only known species of the genus Tubipora. This species is a soft coral but with a unique, hard skeleton of calcium carbonate that contains many organ pipe-like tubes. On each tube is a series of polyps which each have eight feather-like tentacles. These tentacles are usually extended during the day, but will swiftly withdraw with any sort of disturbance. The skeleton is a bright red color, but is typically obscured by the numerous polyps, which are green or gray in color. In size, colonies can reach up to a meter across, while the individual polyps are typically less than 3 mm wide and a few mm long. They are restricted to shallow waters and tend to live in sheltered areas. They eat plankton. They are close relatives to other soft coral and sea fans.

treenuts Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 canfly, that paticular definition you posted is missing something. There is another or others, that do include yet another link in the clue, but I'm not certain you'll get it if you're thinking along the same lines as jmh. Speaking of which, jmh, your guesses above are incorrect. evil my ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmh123 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I think it might help to be less smart at least for me. I googled organ pipe coral after she gave that hint, and got a site I can't find now which also mentioned the reed coral. So I thought the latter part of the clue had to do with Reed. Troubling news for Reed. I also knew that from the hints that the song was not recorded and not performed on tour, so that left a much smaller pool of possibilities. I lucked out on a title with "heart" in it after the next hint, and after that it really was easy. Up til then, not so much. Canfly, it really helps to look here when pondering, although remember, it doesn't cover the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
