The Twelve Days of Mellomas
Every night leading up to Christmas, I shall be posting a new Christmas-y themed image on the board for you to find. I'll even give hints as to where the image might be found. Sounds easy, right?
Ah ha! There's a catch. The images are not going to be new posts. They'll be hidden among older threads.
Tonight's image will be posted at midnight ET, but I'm giving you the hint early:
If you find the equestrians on Michigan Avenue, you'll find the partridge in a pear tree.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
That? That sounds freaking brilliant!
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
Oh, I see how it is. Word your damn clues so that there's no way to search for them.
I will be playing this, though apparently I will be playing badly.
I'm impatient, so tonight's image is up. When you find it, you'll also find a clue for the next image. That image isn't up yet, but it can give you a head start on figuring out where it might go.
Not all of the clues are worded so they can't be searched. Just some.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
I've been able to determine that
Spoiler (mouseover to read):
Michigan Avenue in Chicago seems to be associated with horse rides. So I'm assuming that's what the clue is talking about?
BUT I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE BIRD
Hmm. Perhaps looking for horse themed threads? I searched michigan avenue and came up with bupkis.
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
You might want to make the clue easier

If you do a search on the board for one of the words Peeta put behind his spoiler, the thread is currently the tenth result.

I think I suck at this game.

This is a hint too
ARGH. I have looked for everything I can think of and I can't find it.
I ENDED UP IN A BODY SCANNER THREAD
I'm really curious to know how that happened.

Where oh where might the birds be? Here they are!
And the next clue:
It's really quite simple to find five golden rings. Just look where you'd wear them.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
But, I've worn rings in all sorts of places! Shall I look up posts about belly buttons and tongues and ears and fingers and the places other people might wear them?
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
