I wish I had the reverse brain process that would let me set these instead of just solving them.

That was trumpet blowing rather than a clue (I've got my thinking cap on and will post one later). If you can distill an answer from it though, then I'd love to hear it.

Bingo. Not the real Village People is up. ledge has the explanation there though. I was beginning to get worried.
― krakow, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 23:03 (seventeen years ago)
This has seriously made my day, I never get these! I'm gonna have to pass (is that allowed) on making one up as I'm a total utter amateur at these... anyone else want to take the mantel?

This is pretty bad but I just thought of it after reading the word on another thread so whatevs

yup. it could be improved slightly -

getting a decent definition for post-ironic is the problem.
― man saves ducklings from (ledge), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 11:01 (seventeen years ago)
Can you explain that one? I'm not seeing it, as I don't know what Asimov's robot brain refers to.
― krakow, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 10:26 (seventeen years ago)
OK, a google search revealed that snippet, but is there any wordplay as well?
― krakow, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 10:27 (seventeen years ago)
positronic, switch the 'it' in the middle around to get post ironic.

How?
― SB "A Good Story" (onimo), Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:05 (seventeen years ago)
Walk Don't Run. But certain parts of the clue are confusing me. Also, someone else will need to do the next one, as I'm no good at these.
― emil.y, Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:14 (seventeen years ago)
I was using M instead of K for "thousand" :(
― SB "A Good Story" (onimo), Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:36 (seventeen years ago)
Oh, one of the bits that confused me is no longer confusing me. I wasn't sure where I got the 'l' from but it's from the beginning of 'loud'. I'm still not sure what the 'fifty' bit is about, though. Am I being really stupid?
― emil.y, Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:41 (seventeen years ago)
No, L comes from Roman numeral for fifty. K = thousand then "drawn out" then n from _N_oisy start. I think.
― SB "A Good Story" (onimo), Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:43 (seventeen years ago)
Oh man, yes, I completely invented an extra 'n' there. Wouldn't have got it if I hadn't known the song and the format of the previous clues.

Sorry. I guess "How" was not Apache word, but just a Sioux word that caught on in the Hollywood Westerns.
