"My wife paid me a high compliment this morning," said Scruggs. "What was that?" asked a friend "She said I was a model husband." "A model husband?" "Yes." "Have you ever looked up the definition of model?" "Nope." "Well, a model is a small imitation of the real thing." This was taken from Pungent Pargraphs published in 1926. Good Luck! NO AFTER THIS MANY DAYS IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED!!!!

Mystic Zyl	04 Dec 2003
One answer per post. please.

jmd	04 Dec 2003
Four of Coins (RWCS) :D)

Dark_angel	04 Dec 2003
Two of Cups. Two friends enjoying a joke and good times.

page of wands- anecdotes, testimony

gloria	05 Dec 2003
Seven/Cups?

Mystic Zyl	05 Dec 2003
All good answers, but not the one I had in mind. I am going to remember the knight of wands for that situation in the future, as court cards sometimes are illusive to me, I always use more cards to define the courts.

Minderwiz	05 Dec 2003
Six of Pentacles - getting what you deserve :)

Mystic Zyl	05 Dec 2003
Sorry no..........not yet.

gloria	06 Dec 2003
Queen/Swords? for her sarcasm and dry sense of humour.

Mystic Zyl	06 Dec 2003
Sorry no. I am looking at this as a total situation.

gloria	06 Dec 2003
What about The Magician? I'm thinking about the last line.

Mystic Zyl	06 Dec 2003
No........I hope this is not going to frustrate anyone?

gloria	06 Dec 2003
The truth in the Ace/Swords cutting him down to size?

Mystic Zyl	06 Dec 2003
No, not yet Gloria, but you seem to be the only person playing, there are only 70 more answers!

MattDouglas	06 Dec 2003
I think it's the 2 of wands. He's holding a model of The World in his hands. It's a model of the grand vision that he has.

Mystic Zyl	06 Dec 2003
no, sorry Matt Hint..................Major Arcana

MattDouglas	06 Dec 2003
Then I'll say The Lovers. He's looking at her as his beloved, but she's looking up to the Divine, as if to say, "What you see of me is but a reflection of a Higher Power."

jmd	06 Dec 2003
XIII (Death) :D?

gloria	07 Dec 2003
Strength? RW

Mystic Zyl	07 Dec 2003
Jmd I could see were you would think it is death, it sure puts an end to things. Matt the lovers could b it with the trials and tribulations of a relationship. Gloria you certain would need strength to be in such a relationship, but remember he just found he was a model husband. All answers are good but I feel there is still one more deserving card than all the others.

gloria	07 Dec 2003
The model husband...The Emporer?

Mystic Zyl	07 Dec 2003
Nope, no Emperor............look at the situation My answer will totally make sense, I swear.........

gloria	07 Dec 2003
Mystic I think I've got it! The Moon? (self-deception)

MattDouglas	07 Dec 2003
Okay then, how about the Wheel of Fortune. It depicts a physical wheel, but that's just a symbol of the changes of life.

Mystic Zyl	07 Dec 2003
Gloria so close that is the second card I would have chosen for this answer.

TemperanceAngel	07 Dec 2003
I'm going to say Temperance, for obvious reasons....:D XTAX

MattDouglas	07 Dec 2003
I'll try the Satr. It's a card that indicates hope. Hope is acually having something, but having a vision of it's potential. So I would say that a model can give one hope.

Dark Eyes	08 Dec 2003
Perhaps the wife was insinuating he was a little devil?? Could it be the devil card? Dark eyes. })

jmd	08 Dec 2003
XVIIII The Sun? (in the sense that he thought of himself as shining bright, but the quote shows she may have been referring ot one of the two smaller figures instead?)

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
No sorry, please consider the situation.

gloria	08 Dec 2003
Aah still a chance! What about The Hanged Man?

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
Nope, have another cup of coffee!

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
To recap not the: Hanged Man Temperance Star Devil Sun Emperor Moon my second choice for the riddle. Wheel of Fortune Lovers Death Strength Magician There are only 9 answers left. Again look at this situation as a whole picture. I thought this would be an easy one, wow, I was wrong.

Indigo Rose	08 Dec 2003
Major Arcana= Justice?

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
No sorry, this leaves me a little blue too.

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
Okay only eight more to go...

yve	08 Dec 2003
Empress (in a negative aspect?)

Agathe	08 Dec 2003
The Fool...i think

yve	08 Dec 2003
Arggggh, why didn't I think of the Fool!!! I have a feeling Agathe that you may have hit it dead on!

gloria	08 Dec 2003
I was a Fool not to realise! Come on Mystic put us out of our misery!

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
Okay 6 more cards to go! I guess I must see this card in a different light than most people since no one has gotten it. No to Fool and Empress

Agathe	08 Dec 2003
the High Priestess in that case

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
No, now we are down to 5 cards.

Agathe	08 Dec 2003
Then I give up :o(. I have no idea, whatsoever!

Siwan	08 Dec 2003
Is it Judgement ?

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
Agathe, don't give up only 5 more answers.......although Gloria should win this game just through perseverance(9 of Wands). Not Judgemet....sorry Errr...This will be a revelation to all when the card is revealed!

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
No to: Fool Magician High Priestess Empress Emporer Lovers Strength Hanged Man Wheel of Fortune Death Devil Temperance Moon Sun Star Judgement What could it be??????????

Dark Eyes	08 Dec 2003
The Hierophant?

Dark Eyes	08 Dec 2003
Perhaps it is Justice, Getting what you deserve, Yes i will go with Justice. Cutting out all the bullshi* and getting to the truth of the matter, facing the music. Dark Eyes

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
No and No 3 cards to go Again this card should a revelation.

Dark Eyes	08 Dec 2003
Could it be the tower, Suddenly all his world came tumbling down. He thought he was something special, but suddenly finds out it had no foundations ! dark eyes. ;)

MattDouglas	08 Dec 2003
Well, Tower makes the most sense out of the 3 left, but since it's already taken, I'll say the Chariot, since those sphinxes aren't exactly the strong horses needed to pull it.

Mystic Zyl	08 Dec 2003
Oh my God! Dark Eyes you are the winner. The Tower is a wake up call. A snap to reality, change in the way one thinks about life or the way of life. This was this man's alert to his not being such a great husband and I am sure it changed his outlook towards his wife and how he treats her in the future. THIS CARD SHOULD BE A REVELATION A Dark Eyes explained suddenly his world came tumbling down. He thought he was special, but found he had no foundation.

Dark Eyes	08 Dec 2003
Thankyou Mystic, :cool: When you think about it, it makes sense ! That is what this game is all about. If every puzzle was guessed immediately it can become boring huh! but you really made us all think and got us all in, it was a good one. I will allow Gloria to have my turn if she wishes because I am working today and havn't got time to think one up and post it. I think Gloria deserves it anyway. If she doesn't want to, I can post one later today ! [/b] Regards D.E. :D

Thanks for the offer to take your turn D.E. very kind of you, but I for one am more than happy to wait for your clue. By the way it's good to see you back. :) Gloria.

Dark Eyes	09 Dec 2003
Thanks Gloria, it's good to be back and I hope you are well ! For fear of sounding corny or silly, it's difficult to stay away from this site for too long... I got withdrawal I think ! I just love the interraction and the support of all these lovely and honest people, also the fabulous expanse of knowledge that can be gleaned from this wonderfully friendly site. I just got home from work, I will post my clue later after I eat... [/b].... PLEASE BE PATIENT, A CLUE WILL BE ON THE WAY SOON. Bye for now D.E. :*
