Is that a real person? Where have I heard that name?", but I couldn't actually spell Audie Cornish and didn't care that much, so I came direct to Blainesville, where my suspicions were confirmed. I wasn't sure I even deserved to post a comment, but I looked in the Wikipedia entry for Cornish Dialect, and settled on "proper" as meaning "satisfactory", and used that as my marker. (I know, "proper" is barely a Britishism, let alone strictly Cornish, but most of the dialect entries were of no use.)Bob Kerfufflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615811802419025933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-33403432008316037112011-09-01T12:03:35.522-07:002011-09-01T12:03:35.522-07:00"Audie Cornish".

So I responded to these deletions by posting: "I guess Blaine does not see my august posting performance in the same way I do since he has removed both of them" The clue here is the word "august" that is not a reference to the month, but the person of August Horch who was the builder/designer/owner of Horch automobiles in Germany. His first was built in 1901. Later he had to change the name of the company due to losing a legal case. He renamed his company, Audi.<br />My two deleted posts included mentioning that this was certainly a Horch of a different color and that it was so lame a puzzle that it might even embarrass the host.skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-32506247708151172862011-08-31T17:24:28.026-07:002011-08-31T17:24:28.026-07:00It's a shame I spent so many hours working on ...It's a shame I spent so many hours working on this puzzle, only to find that I never heard of this relatively obscure person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-13659546421702229952011-08-31T15:02:20.396-07:002011-08-31T15:02:20.396-07:00RoRo, if I remember correctly, you're on the e...RoRo, if I remember correctly, you're on the east coast.
