Thanksgiving?

Correct! Now...How did you reach the answer? Or if it was just a guess based on my rather obvious hint, can anyone retro-engineer the original hint into this answer?

I tend to have revelations from time to time. There's no logical explanation of how this divine method works, really...  Sssh, don't tell anyone about this! It's not like only Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, do they? :wink:

I pass my turn to a more deserving mortal.

Oh!! I get it Tanks ;-D  does this gave something to do with AGS??

Stupot

Good one. I was thrown off by the fact that half the answer was just there dancing undisguised in front of our noses.

Naw, it just happened to be Thanksgiving in America. Not every clue has to be about AGS by the way, although a lot are ;-D

Haha, it wasn't till later in the day I realized the American Thanksgiving was relevant...  It's snowing like mad up here in Canada, well beyond harvest time...

Sobbing and urinating on a parasite (7)

I sob and urinate on you, sir! :angry:

But the answer is this:
Spoiler
Cryptic

Cry = sob
P = pee = urine
Tic = a type of parasite.

I apologize; please forgive me. :grin:

I thought it was Sob=Weep, Urinate = Wee, Parasite = Bug, therefore the popular Scottish lament, "Ach, weep wee bug", often shortened to "awewebug".

Ahhhhh an easy one from the Baron for a change...

The obvious answer is:

Spoiler
A Priest can be a Monk, also known as a Brother, or a B.O.T.S. (Brother Of The Seal) in the Pathfinder RPG. Now, because he is lost this means we add Bots to the back-end of the puzzle instead of the front. To befuddle somebody means to puzzle them so we now get:

Puzzle Bots

Damn, I'm good... :P

Stupot

Oh damn. Nice logic there Mandle. I just thought it was that 'Lost priest' is an almost-anagram of 'Stupot plus', hence my asking where Adeel is?

I was actually joking with my answer, and with saying Baron gave us an easy one. I really doubt it is right...

I tried, good sir...I tried. But I couldn't find any AGSer's username which would fit the character count. :sad:

Dadalus

Not a guess but maybe

Spoiler
The Lost Priest is it possibly something to do with Mr. Eko (Father Tunde) from the TV series Lost?
