T for trouble, the problem they had in going back to 1971 and troubling contradictions.

U is for Ubiquitous - Being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time; omnipresent - such as Angelique's "death shadow" which was following Jeb Hawkes everywhere he went and kept getting bigger and bigger. [shkdg]

Z is for Zamindar - A landowner.  The Collins family owned lots of land. [winkg]

By the way, I posted this once before, but it disappeared, so I'm posting this again.  [hdscrt]

Sorry, Sally. Zamindar was rejected and removed.

OK, thanks Dom. [cheesyg] I'm glad it wasn't rejected and removed this time! [bigok] I looked up Z words online and found this word. [winkg]

Actually, the game does need another Z word because Zamindar doesn't quite fit for DS because, well, Collinsport isn't located in India or Pakistan - which is why the word was removed the first time around.  ;)

Oh, crap!  [angrg]  Maybe I can find another Z word later, if nobody else posts one. [bigok]

Z is for getting the zaboombas scared out of you while watching DS, as in:
When I saw the Dream Curse during the original run as a child, it had elements which absolutely scared the zaboombas out of me.  But then, I was a ten-year-old kid, and things were scarier back then. 


(It's such a great word, I couldn't pass up trying it  ;)).

Sadly, I don't think that one will get by either. And I really do mean that it's sad because it could have been such a great word if only it was actually in the dictionary.  :D

(Apparently there is such a thing as a zambomba - but it's a Spanish percussion instrument - again, not quite in keeping with DS. If only some character had once played one on the show. If only Desi Arnaz had dropped by Collinwood to sing Babaloo!  [b003]  Or perhaps more appropriately, if only someone at Collinwood had celebrated La Zambomba at Christmastime. But, alas, they were always too busy fighting ghosts, witches, warlocks, werewolves, vampires - and fighting for their lives.  ;D)

Z is for Zener Diode (Voltage Regulator) that was most likely used in Julia's Laboratory.

A is for Alarm - the bells that Elizabeth rang when she pushed the button were part of an alarm to let people know she was alive. [thumb]
