QoD 06/24/08
“Buried Treasure”
Two ashes broke a cubicle paste. A costume pinhead bet a butcher refugee three florins. Geese fined hunters a clipped doormat, being lumpy rejects. A drummer skied grandly twixt thousands, after her czardom. A low chauffeur, a concave man and bad condoms applauded.

Thistle mates where clapped the green hands. A methane nectarine spurned happily erect asterisks.

QoD 06/24/08
“Buried Treasure”
Country boy from Arkansas sitting on a rock
Along came a bee and stung his little
Cocktails ginger ale five cents a glass
If you don't like it then you can kiss my
Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
If you get hit with a bucket of shit
You'd better close your eyes.

Messy putting keeps campers achey. Steam honks. A patchwork can ferry coupons every afternoon.

Oh, Mr. mr. I've had a day. I have tried to solve this puzzle with Caesar codes and keyword codes with the most probable keywords, and looking at every so many letters, and I tried to find imbedded words and tried again reading backwards. I was just about to write you that I was giving up and tell you about my second physics class at Yale. (It was very mathy today, so it was harder to follow and not as interesting as I wanted it to be, but I learned that "a vector is a quantity with a magnitude and a direction," and about vectors in multiple dimensions, so it was okay. I didn't have any more homework, so that was nice. I also went to my first class in modern English poetry. I think I will like that one, too, because I can find all the poems on the internet. I wish I had the physics textbook, but it costs $186.50 at Amazon, and my mom said she wouldn't buy it for me. Sigh.)
Anyway, while I was thinking about all that, I glanced at your message one more time, and something popped out at me! Isn't that amazing? Maybe the physics class put my brain into vector overdrive, with the proper velocity and direction to solve codes at point xy. Or something. Anyway, here's my answer:
Susan letters her paper, “The Great Bunny.” She has current hopes per art.

I do hope our meister explains the key for those of us who have peeked at the answer and still have no clue how to derive that from the coded text.

If you read Nelly's answer, he shows how he came up with it. And yay for that, since I have never heard of the answer so I couldn't even work backwards and figure it out. Obviously I was thinking a different way on "Buried Treasure". What is funny is that, even if I had decoded correctly, I still couldn't answer it. Ha!

Decode: Who is the current prime minister of Canada? (Taking the middle letter of each word, and treating the “a”s as spaces between words)
