Land of Oz

i would say, "o" but thats what you want me to say. If i were basing my answer on the mind of tom, it would be that there is officially no blank in that sentence, just some words, spaces used correctly, an underscore symbol, and a period that shouldn't be there because its an incomplete sentence.

by the way, that was just kenric (me) who commented that. rachael was logged in. if i were basing the answer off kenric's brain, i would type "Land of *z" into google using the asterisk as a wildcard symbol, so anything could go in place of that *. 600 results would return and then i would give up because none of the first ten make sense, and the whole post makes no sense to me.

Sarah said...

Land of no sleep... ( that's all i got)

Tom said...

If Kenric based it off of his brain, then he might have found an answer.

I mention to you guys about my "job" all the time, I can't see why you can't find anything for this answer.

Marnee said...

oooz. Alphabet. snooze. Alarm clocks. daze. getting up early. maze. booz. Okay, I give up.

Tom said...

It happened at my "job."

Sarah said...

cows jump over the moon when you are sleeping...oh wait land of no cows...

krustacianken said...

slippy

Tom said...

No, Kenric, it is not the land of Slippy, even though it could be.

You are not getting my hint that it occurred at my "job"

Rachael said...

land of slippy?? kenric, i'm laughing out loud (lol) in the tech lab.

Tom said...

Rachael, I take it Kenric told you?

Ok, you guys are stumped. Ha ha.

Sarah said...

the land of uz

Sarah said...

that's my last guess, and yes it is random...i really have no idea....these contests are dumb

Tom said...

What the crap?

Man, I don't come up with good contests. Sarah, you meanie, you call my contests dumb and you figured it out.

Sarah said...

what!!! I get a birthday...flippen' sweet

Tom said...

Yeah, I guess I could give you a birthday. You deserved it!

krustacianken said...

i dont get this contest.

Jenn said...

i think tom makes up stupid things in his head and we guess what he is thinking... not that that would make sense, but we seem to win birthdays for guessing correctly!

Tom said...

Ok, since people still care about this contest, I will explain why Sarah was the only one that got it right.

Kenric, you were unbelievable close to getting another birthday. And if you would have typed in certain things in google you would have found the right answer.

Jennifer, only my two jokes were off the top of my head. I said I came up with them in two seconds, so it wasn't much.

And now the actual explanation. Like I said I gave you guys a good hint. First of all, land of _z. I told you guys this happened at my "job." Since I always talk to you guys about my work and other things like my coworkers talking about the Bible and stuff, you should have figured out that I meant "Job," the book in the Bible. One of my coworkers wrote "land of _z" on the foam on the side of the house in the subdivision we were adding on to. He said it was to be a survey to see what people would think, land of oz, thinking of Wizard of Oz, or the Bible.

Jennifer, by the way, this wasn't stupid.

Tom said...

And by the way, Sarah didn't guess on this one. She was just in the right place at the right time.

We fooled 'em, Sarah.

krustacianken said...

yeah, tom, i think you fooled all of us. ok, i'm revoking your contest conducting rights which you have just sort of commandeered anyway. this ship has sailed to the edge of the world and has gone over the side, into a black void.

Sarah said...

yeah i'd have to admit that this was a stupid contest....we have to have some clue and tom telling us that it had to do with your work did not help at all how were we supposed to know about some contest your co-worker made up....

Sarah said...

no tom we shouldn't have figured out that because you talk with one of your co-workers about the bible, that therefore you where making some obscure bible reference...and your co-worker is an idiot...what in the heck was he trying to prove.....

krustacianken said...

i do like your thinking, though, sarah. i feel dumb now that i didn't think of it like that. there is only five possibilities because there are only five normal vowels, and only vowels will work (mostly). we would have only had to guess one vowel for each person to find the right anwer.

Sarah said...

well actaully...mmm tom gave me a major hint one day in the computer lab so.....

Tom said...

Yeah, it was major all right.

(I don't think Kenric knows what I was talking about when I said, "We fooled them, Sarah.")
