Brings to mind the saying...

With friends like that who need enemies?

Billi · 01-06-2013, 11:56 AM

Do we have to take into account the physical condition of the mods? I mean it along these lines: would a chicken like pooh or Agatha been able to swing a hammer that it could hit a man sitting in his chair at his head or hold an umbrella high enough so that dreams could run into it? Or is everyone in the story able to commit everything?

Regarding the stockings on the picture I assume it was a pretty big chicken (and keep in mind, it was a dinner for 10 people).

If there's no new reader for me I'd like to buy the microwave

Well ... you know how they say that a murerous rage can give superhuman strength to anyone .... so that any of the mods would be more than capable of these fiendish crimes ....

Appearances can be deceiving ....

Hmmm .... there is the danger of accidentally cooking yourself in it ....

Nonsense. The moderators didn't roast you. The murderer did that. The other moderators ate you. Not me though! I'd already been poisoned or drowned.

pdurrant · 01-06-2013, 12:54 PM

Alas, neither my knowledge of karate nor my swordstick helped me against the murderer. I think it must have been poison. I'm sure I could have fought off anyone trying to drown me.

Perhaps substituting a candy cane for your swordstick - for the holiday season - was a fatal miscalculation?

One more thing: That Christmas card from Kovid, when will that hit the open market? I want one!!

When you open it, it organizes all the other cards you've received. Then it auto-generates a mailing list you can use next year!

My first real suspect was Nate, but then I decided on another person.. One with a motive and the skills to pull of such a killing spree!

I've sent in my vote... Hope I was right! :P I wasn't the last time though.. Speaking of which; it seems this discussion thread is soooo quiet compared to the last murder mystery we had!

My candy cane is a disguised swordstick too. A mouse can't be too careful. I didn't consider poison though.

Remember to submit your reasoning along with your guess/deduction.

Oh, dear. I guess I am not on the ball at all. I didn't give a reason for my guess

Oh, well. Thanks to all who came up with this mystery. I enjoyed the story.
