Washer is good, I'd missed that. I still like bill better though.

You're letting me decide? That's not particularly fair.

Well, we're communists, why should we play fair?

Yeah I think I'm leaning bill, too, I'd imagine washer + fork + glass would have been something else like kitchen or something like that.

Trunk seems obvious, and I like swing because they hang from trees. But I also think there's something called a tree cricket, so maybe that too?

Yeah, trunk has to be. I like swing a lot more than cricket, and I don't see any other possibilities either.

I'm sure there was some way to link Nail with Plot and Thief but I couldn't figure it out.

With the location clue, I thought there was a chance you'd pick Africa but given that 3 out of the 4 locations were ours and Africa was just a bystander, it wasn't too much of a risk, and you'd probably pick them up later anyway.

Nail, plot, thief, maybe something about stopping a heist? Red-handed? I dunno. Flute was the assassin?

Flute was the assassin.

Yeah I went through a bunch of heist movies trying to find a link to Nail, but came up short. The best I found was The Italian Job which has nail backwards in it, but that seemed a little too subtle.

Crowbar might have gotten nail and thief, but then plot's a bit of a stretch. Hm...

And yeah, good thought on your location clue.

Fat Turkey

Gobble Gobble Gobble!
To be fair, getting out 7 answers in three clues with no errors is always going to be really hard unless you have some really related categories with no confusing answers. My team didn't put a foot wrong and it still came down to the wire.

The location issue I thought you dealt well with. Even if Africa is guessed early, it was only a bystander and the extra guesses allowed the other locations to come up with the other clues. I was really worried about that last clue and only felt some relief when Maple dropped, allowing me to use Tree.

I was aghast when my clue was being sidetracked by Star Trek! I think there's merit in going for a clue that doesn't directly link to any, but if you pause you can spot the two words needed to create it ( 'Australia' and 'land next to water' being what I needed for Botany Bay)

Well played all.

To be fair, it was one person thinking Star Trek, and I don't think any of us seriously thought that's what you were going for.

Definitely mint, maybe spike and bar?

Mint is an obvious first guess.
Bar seems the second most likely to me - it's somewhere you could get a julep.
as for the third one, i have a bunch of loose ideas:
I associate mint juleps with the southern States, maybe drank by a southern Lawyer.

E: why do you think spike?
