A BB predicted this question back then. I'm not gonna look it up right now, but I'm sure somebody will take the credit.

If Sylvester the Cat ate some "sufferin' succotash," he would be eating a dish consisting of what?

A: Potatoes and peas B: Carrots and mushrooms
C: Beans and corn D: Onions and cucumber

Another shout out to mom, who makes this, and it's delicious.

C: Beans and corn

This isn't a great Q, but the answers make it OK. I tried to google a recipe for succotash a while back and got almost everything named above -- no cucumbers, though. But every recipe had beans and corn in it.

Love this Q! MatiasGrandpa got Clue for Christmas about a million years ago, even before MatiasMom had come along. We played all day the upcoming New Year's Day and fairly often thereafter. I can see going through this one -- "Let's see, Colonel MuckMuck did it in the hall with the wench. Nope. Miss Harlot did it in the lunge with the revelver. Nope. Dear, kindly, sweet, frail Mis Waat did it in the kitchen with the candlestick. Nope. MrGrin did it in the den . . . Nope, no den. Den, final answer." They should have included the conversatory.

I believe that Sprots is recreating MatiasGrampa's version of the game.

The conversatory is a pretty good place to murder someone if they talk too much.

D'oh! I "autocorrected" his other statements when I first read them, but conversatory (alone) stuck out to me and cracked me up. Now that I go back and read the post, I see them all.
