A hint? So early? Go get plastered with Spanish rum and have another try.

Nice try.

Correct!

[quote=“Dragonbones”]12. This one “can hang huge gnu”

jaboney[/quote]

Nope. The clues are for the most part very precise. When you get them you’ll probably know it, so random guessing is unlikely to work. All are names of well known, active posters.

I’ve used a variety of methods for creating the clues.
