[Dadalus]

ok my last clue (off to bed now)

Spoiler

the first word could be thought of as two 4 letter words stuck together

[close]

[Stupot]

Ahh, I'm good at 4-letter words. Is it:

Spoiler

Fuckwank End?

[close]

[CaptainD]

Not alpha =

Spoiler

Omega

[close]

?

[Dadalus]

Stupot+

Spoiler

No

[close]

CaptainD

Spoiler

see my earlier reply to Mandle, you and he were on the right track with Omega. He has now figured out that the second word is END.

[close]

Further hints

Spoiler

The first word is **** (a club) & **** (think of a dog and soil).

[close]

The answer is probably too obscure so I will give a larger clue in a few hours if no one gets it.

[AnasAbdin]

Spoiler

Woodbury End?

Catalog:
"MY DOG SOILED A CLUB BUT HES NOT THE ALPHA"

SOILED A CLUB = bury a stick of wood
NOT THE ALPHA = The end!

[close]

[Dadalus]

Correct and what a frustrating game it was in my teen years, and I've only gone downhill since then

Your reasoning was correct though I was thinking

Spoiler

club=WOOD (golf) , and a dog that soiled it (BURY). Though your way works.

EDIT: and of course 'I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end' so 'not the Alpha' gives you Omega or 'End'.

[AnasAbdin]

Yay!
You'll make me visit the garage and look for the oldies this weekend

Mordack after an endless felony's heir (7,6)

[Stupot]

Haha. I wonder...

Spoiler

CRIMSON WIZARD

Mordack is the wizard from King's Quest. And that comes after:
Crim, being crime without the last e
Son, the oldest if which is traditionally the heir to whatever is going.

Here's one:
Chicken Guy Beginnings (6,6)

Clue:

Spoiler

Play it!

[Dadalus]

I'm assuming this is

Spoiler

Henman Origins, but that would be (6,7)?

[close]

[AnasAbdin]

Well done Stupot+

[Wyz]

I'm sure Dadalus is right so here's another one:

Apple wizard wired from behind to the earth. (10,5)

[Baron]

I dunno...

Spoiler

Apple wizard makes me think of Isaac Newton, or William Tell, or Steve Jobs, or Steve Wozniak, or that weird wire-framed rolly-majiggy from the shopping channel that harvests ground-fall fruit.   So yeah, no progress here.

[close]

Spoiler

Wired from behind makes me think of "plugged in", but I can't come up with a synonym that makes any sense.

[close]

Spoiler

Since "earth" is not capitalized, this makes me think of lying or dropping or falling, or maybe gardening.... I don't know.   

[close]

Spoiler

Based on my confusion above and a wild stab at the word-count, I conclude that the clue refers to razzmatazz droop

[close]

[Stupot]

Spoiler

razzmatazz droop

[close]

This is the best band name ever. Official!

[Dadalus]

Just a few thoughts, no guess.

Spoiler

'apple wizard wired from behind' made me think that you remove wired from 'applewizard'. Which got me as far as 'applza', at which point my brain short circuited and I died.

I may have another attempt in my next life (unless I come back as a frog).

[close]

[Wyz]

Sorry but none of the above is correct; time for a few pointers.

Spoiler

The first two clue words refer to the second word of the solution.

[close]

Spoiler

The first word would have been capitalized even if it wasn't the first word of the clue.

[close]

Spoiler

Baron is right about plugged but rather find a synonym for 'wired to earth'.

[close]

[Dadalus]

ok I think i have it

Spoiler

Background as BACK(from behind) and GROUND(wired to the earth). Then I stumbled around with Apple wizard for a bit, and then it hit me. iMage would be an Apple wizard if they made one.

So BACKGROUND IMAGE.

[close]

EDIT: My brain has just short circuited again, ribbit .

On the assumption that I am right :

THIS GAME IS FAULTY, IT MUST BE ON DRUGS (5,5)

[Wyz]

You're absolutely right.

[Mandle]

THIS GAME IS FAULTY, IT MUST BE ON DRUGS (5,5)

Oh my God...IT MUST BE:

Spoiler

SPEED BUGGY

BUGGY as in a faulty game and SPEED as in the drug. Not sure how the order got switched but the game is just that awesome that a reversal of time itself is possible!!!

[close]

[Dadalus]

Correct, as for the order I figured that

Spoiler

BUGGY was the noun
SPEED was the adjective

[close]

[Mandle]

BUGGY was the noun

Hehe, works for me! And thanks for that one man. Brought a smile to my face
