A snake crawling up a hill to bite a goat?

well, give the rest of us a hint then.

Oil slick?

dats good, Amy

Huh?

so whatever i say you will agree with right?

sure.... go for it, bugaboo

Oh for Pete's sake, Tom...tell us or give us a liiiiiittle hint at least...

...A Tree Grows In Brooklyn?...or Trees (and bushes) Grow In Brooklyn?

...Dinosaurs Grow In Brooklyn...?

what? bugaboo won't tell you?

i am still thinking

Bugaboo is a legendary scary creature hidden in this case in a Brooklyn forest.

and your point is??? Jota

I don't have a point, always an arrow ...

Haha. Tom did the same thing to me - made a puzzle for/about me and I really had no clue what it was supposed to be. I made a guess and Tom agreed, but I don't know if that was what he intended.

So, it probably has to do with the name/word "bugaboo" - which is one of those words that can mean one thing to one family/culture and something entirely different in another family/culture. It could be part of a legend passed down from parent to child in bedtime stories. Or maybe it's just "bugaboo" with no special meaning beyond what is in the dictionary:

1. An object of obsessive, usually exaggerated fear or anxiety.
2. A recurring or persistent problem.

I was going to say I'd go with definition 2 but I really don't have any reason to pick on bugaboo.

i'm not picking on bugaboo, bugaboo just seems to have a special insight and story telling ability. The meaning of the name means nothing to be.
Teresa: your ascension to the sun was mostly about your trek towards finding the light

Ahhhh. Then I was way off. :-D

enjoyed the solve.
my guess: it's some green skyscrapers that we're only seeing the top of and godzilla is climbing up and you can see his left arm is about to grab a huge black cow that obviously lives on top of one of those buildings.

Ok, so what is it really? bugaboo?

i think telly wins for the most creative guess

a long earthworm going across the grass to his food bowl, even though the food bowl doesn't look like one; maybe the food bowl is one of those castle things in chess an apology to all chess players because I don't know the real name.

A rook.

thanks Martin.

If it's about Bugaboo maybe it's a bug (although it looks more like a worm) about to scare a . . . cow, maybe?

it's a snake crawling over a turtle to get to a siege engine which is moving toward a castle that's off-picture. the snake laid eggs in the castle and wants to rescue them before the castle is destroyed. the turtle is trying to escape from the destruction and just happened to be in the snake's way.

anna...you're a genius
