Codenames 2

What do you guys think of MODEL? Something like Kinder would clue that and CHOCOLATE but not MASS, so BRick may have had to go ironic.

I'm particularly sleep deprived today so wouldn't entirely trust my judgment, but MODEL seems to have more of a link to Fatso than GLASS, if we're assuming HOOK was our final fairytale word.

Agreed, but I think it more likely that HOOK was not the final 'fairytale' word; because a) HOOK is not so obviously related to 'fairytale' and b) things are too flimsy otherwise as Khan pointed out. So my preferences are GLASS>MODEL>>anything else

[Old Harry]

Okay I'll say my preference is MODEL>GLASS>LAP>EAGLE>SPRING. Ichabod - wanna pick the one you like best or go to random.org?

[Ichabod]

Well, we need to make a decision, right?

Point to MODEL

[BRickAstley]

[Ichabod]

1. Made of Glass
2. Sometimes found in Hotel lobbies
3. Can be bought on Amazon
4. Fish are imprisoned like in a jail Cell
5. Water is continually freshened, like a Spring
6. Bring it home in your Van
7. Fish swim Laps in it

I'm having trouble making any reasonable connection beyond Glass.

Aquarium 2

Crunch time. Glass is the most direct connection, and I think the second word is Amazon. A friend of mine is big into scuba and worked part-time at an aquarium store, where they designed and populated aquariums to resemble different ecosystems. Amazon aquariums were a top seller.

Even if our Spymaster wasn't making that particular connection, aquarium and Amazon both bring to mind water and biodiversity (no one calls a bowl with a single goldfish an aquarium). You can buy aquariums on Amazon, and some institutional aquariums have entire exhibits about the Amazon rain forest.

Then, let's consider the other options. Mardoc has been giving us solid, well-written clues so far, and I don't see why that would change at this point. The only feasible alternative I see is Cell, but Aquarium seems like a decidedly suboptimal clue for that, compared to something like Pane or Microscope or Petri. The other words are even more of a stretch. My bet's on Glass/Amazon.

Glass is a no brainier and we can point to that the other one possibly Amazon but I need to think

[Jkaen]

Zak,

When you arrive I think you are safe to point to glass. My vote for the 2nd item is amazon, the only other thing that makes any sense is spring (as in spring water)
