Drunken sot, I see is an impassive old Greek (5)

dust · Post by **dust** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 5:30 pm

thanks dust

dust · Post by **dust** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 5:54 pm

all I can come up with is Plato (with no reasoning)

or Otsic (with reasoning - drunken sot and IC) but it doesn't mean anything...

Bah, feeling stupid

lilstormer · Post by **lilstormer** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 5:56 pm

you're nearly there dust... don't give up now...

unless you want me to tell you.

still haven't got yours either, currently going through all the kinds of sweet wine I can think of

I came up with otsic too.

dust · Post by **dust** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:11 pm

Stoic? thats the best I can do.

lilstormer · Post by **lilstormer** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:15 pm

Your best is the correct answer dust... yay, still can't get yours though.

dust · Post by **dust** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:21 pm

Cool! Is stoic some old Greek dude? What a guess.

The answer to mine is the name of a sweet wine I had never heard of, but it makes sense with the rest of the clue.

lilstormer · Post by **lilstormer** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:27 pm

stoic - he was some philospher of a school founded by Zeno in Athens around 308BC, all centred around controlling passions and indiference to pleasure and pain....

yours = sauterne?

dust · Post by **dust** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:37 pm

No, its a word meaning spoils, with unlimited salad.

Lemme know if you just want the answer.

lilstormer · Post by **lilstormer** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:41 pm

doh! ok marsala

have a great weekend dust and any other lurking geeks
