chrise, #1 I knew was foreign but had Navidad for the second word for ages before I spotted the Carol.

Two Americanisms this week! I believe Comet and Cupid were invented by Mr. Moore, who lived (and died) in Newport, RI (long before Quahog came into existence, ixion).

You did your best, chrise - thanks.

Hi aristo
Isn't a quahog a respectably ancient clam?

Got to go and feed my visitors.
Thanks for the great fun jolan.
A very Merry Christmas to you and your family
and to all the 5@5-ers .

Yes, we locals make a superb chowder with it, and it was used to make wampum, but it's only capitalized as the town in Family Guy.

Thanks for resolving that, aristo.

Thanks for the clues today, Jolan. Won't be back for a couple of weeks so glad to leave on a high. Merry Christmas all.

I never did make it back to get number 3, but all the others were right. I wanted to stay away earlier as I was trying to build tonight's show, but kept being lured back because this was so intriguing. Thanks a lot, Jolan!

Now there's a coincidence, just switched on the TV and a question on that 5 0'clock quiz show was - 'what is a quahog?'.
