The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed!
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
(part 6)
ReplyDeleteHis story finished, Geddo turned to leer lasciviously at Liz.
Said, "Sloan, you haven't told me who your girlfriend is."
"She's a client, so protected. That's all you need to know.
You've given me enough to sketch my course. You can go."
A moment of blurring, their bubble of silence was gone.
The funereal music still played, and would until dawn.
He told Liz, "Before this dirge drives us out of our gourds
Let's go get some dinner, and get your stories in accord."
Later, over baked potatoes and chives, Sam thought over
The stories he'd heard, and tried to stick them together.
"I imagine you're required to live in that house of fears.
Your father has a limit, but is it a week, or twenty years?"
(to be continued)
The ongoing saga. This was my fastest J ever. About 40 seconds. Your picture is even better than the one in the paper .
ReplyDeletePerhaps when Sam's saga has ended you can cut and paste the whole thing on to the end of a day's posting.
It can't be any longer than my NCAA song. I somehow started that in the middle of the night circa 1995 and continued into Dawn.
I do like the line "We write a good book... c'ment shoes'll surely weigh you down" It's of course from the popular hymn about"The Good Book" .

I'll post the original on the end of Friday
ReplyDeleteFLN . Owen, I did mean "Tip" . If memory serves the Strait of Magellan" is only a few hundred miles from the "Top" of Antarctica
ReplyDeleteOh, as Sandy said the other day, don't we love that spell check

"Here(Tierra del Fuego)* also lies Magdalena Island, which is part of Los Pingüinos Natural Monument, home of the largest penguin colonies of south Chile, including an estimated 60,000 breeding pairs of the Magellanic Penguin".
ReplyDeleteSo you don't have to travel the 750(I looked that up too) to Antarctica

*If you Google "Straits of Magellan" the world atlas eventually pops up and in the corner is the 750 miles . Also Tierra del Fuego which is at the bottom half of the Strait
I agree with Wilbur; your cartoon is more relevant to the solution. And very cute. Though I guess the newspaper cartoon is more straightforward in relation to the caption.
ReplyDeleteYes, this jumble was soooo easy -- the solution came to mind even before looking at the blanks. The clues weren't difficult either. The whole thing seems very early week-ish.
This story is getting very long. I'm assuming that the right words for a conclusion just haven't come along yet. Wilbur has a good idea; could you repost the whole thing when it's done? I'd read it.
Nice to see all the Jumble words and solution in your poem, Owen--many thanks. And good to get your comments, Wilbur and Sandyanon. I had trouble only with the fourth word--although words with only a single vowel are usually pretty easy. So I looked at the cartoon and the solution popped right up, even with that long 8 letter word. Then Tada! I figured out the circles in the fourth word, and that helped me solve it. Lots of fun on a Saturday morning.
