Yeah, you were right – I couldn’t pick out the clues here no matter what, they are blended in that seamlessly. Great job and entertaining story!

Still trying to figure out which was your pet and which was best friend, not to mention what your fav. number is, and the song, book, and sitcom, but I’m not up on those kinds of things. :) Great job!

hmm lets see you Like Earl and born in,1977 thats all i figured out.

Very cute story. :)
.
As for clues, I’m clueless… I agree with MyName Is and think i’ll add fav sitcom: 30 Rock, fav subject: science.

Oh.. and Victorville as city of birth.. but I cheated on that one and “googled” it to see if it was a “real” place. ;)

My guess is, Earl = pet (hamster or rabbit maybe?), Ben = nickname, Victorville = birthplace, 1977 = year of birth, Victor = best friend, 30 Rock = sitcom, Breakthru = song, 13 = fav number, Cosmology = fav subject, Cosmos = fav book.
How’d I do?
And I feel very sorry for you having been born in Victorville. I lived in Apple Valley for a while as a kid. Not a heck of a lot to do around there.

OK, I’m going to have to google Victorville, too. How bad can it be, that JP is feeling sorry for you? And wow, Apple Valley sounds like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Haha, google Victorville. This was quite a challenge. All I got was the year: 1977, I think.

wow. nice one..

I always expect top-notch challenge entries from you and you didn’t disappoint. It’ll take me weeks to sort out the details here, if I’m that lucky. Great blend.

What makes it so difficult is that there are a lot of references in there that can be interpreted either way. Good job on confusing everybody, THX .

Must agree with everyone above.. Although I dindn’t pick out any of the clues.. =/ So nice job!
LoA

I also agree with everybody…

Not a single clue stood out for me…

Without looking at the comments, these are my guesses on THX ’s entry (which is a fun one btw. Good capture of kid-type voices.) – In order of Ana’s list:

1978, Um, Cosmos?, Victorville, Ben, Earl in the Yellow Shirt, breakthru, 13, bro?, Earth science?, 30 Rock

sheesh, you are a sneaky one! All I got was the 1977 thing! I think everyone semi-figured the rest out… but totally seamless, totally baffelling, totally entertaining.

I agree with all the rest. Pretty good job hiding them in there. However, no one thought that the sitcom could be “My Name is Earl!” Though I doubt it, ‘cause 30 Rock is already put together…then again, you might have used your psychological mind powers and made me think that! Oh, you dirty dog, you…and you still haven’t told.

wow yeah, I couldn’t figure out any clues.
awesome! it was entertaining.
and yes, I googled Victorville too.

You were a runner-up in this challenge. Congrats!

Awww I loved that! Congradulations on winning!
