Re: Scioly Assassination 68: Heroes and Villains
Going through the Worst Books thread and picking up on things that Z's said he hates, I got a three book list. I'm not super sure if these relate to the clue or will supremely awesomtastically lead you to the right direction, but I guess it might lead you somewhere (hopefully)? So he said that one of the worst books he ever read was Moby pigeon. Additionally, a few pages afterward, Z mentioned that he hates books with no quotation marks (something like that). His examples for this (if I'm not mistaken) are Blindness and The Road. Also, why don't we ask Z to kindly post anything that he's ever mentioned not liking? (Whoa.... that would be a long post. Hopefully, no offense taken.)

Re: Scioly Assassination 68: Heroes and Villains
Alright, I hate to do this, but I'm going to protect myself because I haven't gotten anywhere on this clue even with the hint (there's just too many things Z dislikes...
), and I've got to leave for rehearsal in ~10 minutes.
Edit: I'll justify it this way...Z dislikes string instruments, and I play a string instrument.

Your hint:
zyzzyva98 dislikes this.
This hint corresponds to the first 2 parts of the clue.
You now have 5 and 1/2 hours.
By the way, I quite enjoyed Blindness and I've never read The Road. I'm sure it's a good book.

His blog suggests he deeply hates Justin Bieber...but how is that lit related?
Anyway, you guys should get a fairly substantial clue based on what this actually turns out to be- if it's something you need to know me well enough to understand my dislike for it, or something I may have casually mentioned but don't actually dislike.

Re: Scioly Assassination 68: Heroes and Villains
I really dont want to do this, but seeing as though i am getting no where with clue, I have to.
I protect myself because Z hates twilight, and twilight takes place in the northwest. I live in the northwest.

Re: Scioly Assassination 68: Heroes and Villains
FYI - Justin Bieber is Canadian, and he dances reasonably well
Jersey Shore is cool.
Social Networking is amazing.
But I got it...I think.
It's that which must not be named in the presence of Z. It has 2 letters, the 15th letter and the 26th (and now at least Z won't throw a fit
)
EDIT: And LB, YOU'RE BANNED.

Re: Scioly Assassination 68: Heroes and Villains
That conclusion follows the hint and the final lines of the poem (I'm uncertain about the first two lines.). Therefore, the clue must refer to the first two of three characters who go through the forest.It's that which must not be named in the presence of Z. It has 2 letters, the 15th letter and the 26th (and now at least Z won't throw a fit )
