Some Oscar nominees were so nervous in case they might have to give an unscripted thank-you speech, they were all a-tremble as they sat in their seats. (Others, who won, maybe should have been.)

I too enjoyed watching the Oscars last night, even though I hadn't seen any of the films. But you're right, Ol'Man Keith, I actually saw one winner's hand tremble holding the paper for his acceptance speech. Anyway, fun Henry Ford cartoon. I had to work on the fourth word a bit to get it, and got the solution right away, but then realized my fourth word had to be fixed. But it all got done without cheating.

So, Misty, what did you have before the chess piece?

I did see "The Joker".

I was interested to see how Owen would handle those words.

I had trouble with the fourth clue. Got the solution with no problem, but pulled a wrong letter from it and never did get the fourth clue because of that. Looked it up and felt silly.

Misty said...

Great to see you check in today, Sandyanon.
What chess piece, Wilbur?

Sandyanon said...

The piece that wears a miter, Misty.

Ol' Man Keith said...

LOL, it miter been a rook or a knight, but the hat's a faithful giveaway.

Misty said...

Okay, I get it. I know my Catholic clergy, but it's been decades since I've played chess. Anyway, thanks Sandyanon and Ol'Man Keith.

Wilbur ~ And I was interested in seeing how Joaquin would handle all his words.

Today's solution:
The Champ was a happy guy, always of good cheer. When he retired from the ring, he opened his own training facility, a model of healthy living, with the latest equipment and tall windows to let in fresh air and light, a fun, sunny gym for all to enjoy.
