First time poster long time lurker but this is via djjd twitter this morning...clue 18?
Good morning friends- a quartet of soldiers in the works- ready to drop sometime today if the technology don't spurt.
DJJD has been referencing the clues as soldiers...so this just means that we're getting 4 clues today. But looks like the technology spurted a little with 18 since it wasn't played before 19.

Going along with the thoughts about the game skittles, that made me think of Kubb which based on the descriptions of skittles I'm reading seems pretty similar. Don't know where to go with Kubb though, but thought I'd throw it out there.
But I also like what TieYourShoes mentioned about connecting the "stretch" part back to SCI. I wasn't sure about the SCI until I saw that because I'd put money on the "stretch" part being significant somehow.

The fact that djjd just posted would seem to indicate that SCI isn't the answer, although one can never be sure.
But ugh I don't know, it does fit really well. It seems like "rainbows from Mars" HAS to mean Skittles, and then "toss these in your yard" must be referring to the game. But maybe the cheese isn't the next step from there. I keep looking at the wiki page trying to find something else, here's the stuff from the glossary that it sounds like you could possibly refer to tossing: beaver, bolter, cush ball, flattener, flopper ball, strike, good strike, punch, sidey, spare, spider, sunshine, wraxall 8
Anything anyone can do relating any of that to "stretch"?

not experienced, but the "stretch" part might be making skittles an opposite, or something like skittles. i like the Eminem guess from earlier. now tear me a new one =)

I have no logic for this but if you off of skittles to the Mars corp. Starburst is also made by Mars and is close to "Stardust" so could be referring to Ziggy Stardust and could be David Bowie. Just throwing it out there

According to wiki, the game of skittles is played INDOORS. This makes me think the "yard" part of the clue might also be important, since in a game of skittles you normally wouldn't even be outside at all much less tossing anything outside.

Hmm, I don't know, the article starts with "Skittles is an old European lawn game..." - I see the part you're looking at where it says it's usually played indoors, but I don't know if it's necessarily significant. He could easily just have said "yard" to point us toward the game in general...or he could have looked at the wiki article too and seen the beginning and not noticed that the outdoor versions are apparently the exception rather than the rule.

Good point. If he only read the beginning he would just get yard. That probably means WE don't have to look too far into the wiki, either. Yay - that article is so boring I couldn't even finish it!

haha I know, right?! On multiple occasions I've opened it back up intending to read through the different variations of the game, because I'm curious exactly how common the "cheese" is compared to just a normal ball, but I can't get through it!
