THINGS THAT ARE ROUTED.

Internal network traffic.
Detoured traffic.
A newspaper delivery pattern.

/as always, that's one "M".

"Detoured traffic" is questionable. 'Detoured' shows up online as being synonymous with "alternate route" or "being routed in a different fashion." So I think that would get zapped. But I could be wrong; I'm not here to throw tomatoes. :-) All are fab clues.

The one that got me the other day was:

"THINGS YOU PROLONG"

Any takers?

Oh, you may be right. Personally, I thought people were gonna bitch about the newspaper one. It's close, though, since they are not direct synonyms: "detour" is to divert from an obstacle, where "route" is merely the planning of a path. So they might buzz me, but I'd fight tooth and nail for it. :)

See...I thought of "detoured traffic" as well, but I felt that one better fit the word "REROUTED".

This would have been an interesting '80-90's era box as "internal network traffic" would have more than likely seen blank stares.

"The agony" along with "the inevitable" sound like the definite money clues. Also, "A sick person's recovery period," possibly?

Not to answer my own subject, but that one got me thinking: Maybe better put as: "a brain-dead person's life"?

Bravo (or brava, as the case may be)...

Yes...I do realize that this is (nearly) a year-old bump, but after reading the topic that linked back to this one, I came up with one. Donno if it's $300 material or not, but...

THINGS THAT ARE ROUTED.

I can at least think of one clue...maybe two.

If you are a member, then this is the Golden Clue:

A Triple-A (AAA) Map, or
A Personalized (AAA) Triptik.

Another good one is: A Bus or Greyhound Line.

A PBS special is another one I thought of. Can't think of any real money clues though. Any titles that use "interesting"?

...which still gets the person to say the keyword "routed", and therefore still has them filling out the check with one "M". :)

"THINGS THAT ARE INTERESTING?"

People in a Monty Python sketch.

"Our first guest this evening is Mr. Ali Bayam, he's in the studio with us tonight, and he's stark raving mad!"

[Wild-eyed, wild-haired gentleman with beard stares at camera--host hits canned applause button]

"Mr. Ali Bayam--stark--raving--mad!"

This one could be helped a lot by a decent impression.
