William Strijbos Birthday Game '69'

[Canuck]

I just received this email from my dear puzzle friend William Strijbos of the Netherlands and thought we could help and have some fun as well :

Dear Friends and other persons 12.03.09.

 

Till now I have 17 different letters of the Alphabet collection. Nine more to go.

I’m looking forward to get some Alphabet letter from your country. Please help me

to make a complete Alphabet. As you know my birthday is on 10 of March and this

is the 69 day of the year. That is why I do collect these 69 City’s.

 

Best Regards,

 

William.

Hi Boet

I presume the idea is to send a name and attach a photo of the relevant signboard as well?

[Canuck]

Yeah, as long as the sign has a city with the number 69 with it...not as easy as it would seem   Please don't stop in the middle of a 4 lane highway to get a pic either

[Roby]

The sign also has to have the number 69 on it, as it 69 miles or KM to the city in question.  Thought I might try to take a pick because he is missing my home town of Edmond and that would fill letter "E", but did not feel like driving 69 miles out of the city for a picture.  Patience is a virtue William, I will get around to it.  

[Roby]

John, he is missing a "Q" and you live somewhere around Quebec don't you.

[Canuck]

Roby, take a look at our post times...jinx you owe me a Pepsi!

Oh and by the way 'every puzzle does need a home'!

[Canuck]

John, he is missing a "Q" and you live somewhere around Quebec don't you.

Well to drive to Quebec City it would only take about 12 hours of driving   I could probably drive to New York City in less time

[Canuck]

Okay Roby, you can thank me later for saving you some gas money, I got the letter 'E' covered...


Oh and just for fun I posted a road sign from New Zealand...too funny!

[Roby]

Very good, I did not want to drive 69 miles outside of the city to take a picture.   John, can you really drive to New York?  I did not know we let people like you into our country. 

[Canuck]

  John, can you really drive to New York?  I did not know we let people like you into our country. 

Well I could fly to New York, but I find it makes my arms sore!

Now as far as letting people like me into your country...they likely wouldn't, I think we need a passport now

[Roby]

In respect to you John, we are the land down  under.  Eat your heart out Austrailia.

Hey, I watch Sout Park, do all Canadians heads really seperate in half when they talk.   

[Canuck]

Hey, I watch Sout Park, do all Canadians heads really seperate in half when they talk.   

No, not really but...arm waiving/flailing is a big part of our language Eh!

[Canuck]

Seriously though, why hasn't anyone posted '69' mileage pics?

[Canuck]

In respect to you John, we are the land down  under. 

It's more like the land 'down and out' so says your economic stats

[Roby]

Do you think that perhaps every one is a bit suspicious of the purpose.   After all, it is a famous Karma Sutra position.
