Twenty Questions


[Click for a larger, more welcoming view.]

I found this postcard between two books today. I’d forgotten I ever had it. I like the sentiment, which seems to me fitting for the start of a college semester.

This postcard has, however, an ulterior motive. It’s a piece of advertising. Can you guess what for? Welcome to what I suspect will be a pretty quick game of Twenty Questions. Leave your best questions in the comments. Play early, play often.

August 26: My wife Elaine came closer in offline play: Alcohol? Yes. Clear? No. Brown? Yes. Bourbon? No. Scotch? Yes. But she couldn’t get the brand. Barnaby has the answer in the comments: it’s an advertisement for Johnnie Walker. Specifically, Black.

Sid Meier's Civilization?

No, not that.

You might want to ask about the kind of thing it’s advertising.

Gunther said...

Oh – maybe it's about writing postcards and letters.

Michael Leddy said...

I like that thought, but no, it’s not.

A hotel.

Michael Leddy said...

No, not a place of any kind.

Anything to do with Kenneth Clark?

Johnnie Walker?

Elaine said...

Is it something we view?

Barnaby has it: it’s a postcard for Johnnie Walker Black. I'll post the writing side after I wake up. (It’s early here.)
