    ”A Squiggly Quotient”

    This group’s quota is
    liquid, based on need. It’s thought
    a useful metric.

    "Cooking Show"

    The clever cooking group
    created a fabulous soup
    and even reached a new quota
    by inventing a tangy new soda.
    After reaching their status quo
    they created a new TV show.
    Their first program focused on liquid,
    teaching a kid how to cook a squid.
    But viewers had to be truthful
    and admit this was not very useful.
    So the group's back to baking dough
    in an effort to save their show.

    Wow, Misty! A soup AND a soda!!
    That's all your group should have had to do--before retiring to enjoy their wealth from royalties.
    And then a TV show to top it all!

    Good for you, you managed to squeeze a lot of their history into a very few lines.

    If only they hadn't push that kid with the squid...
    Another sad tale of overreach, eh?

    Loved your "Squiggly Quotient," Ol' Man Keith. Yes, we had a lot of liquids in this morning's Jumble. But still fun. And I enjoyed the tough Friday puzzle too. No luck with the Wordle, though, although I tried. But I'll try again tomorrow.

    Looks like our team-mates may be starting a busy weekend a day early. So I'm thankful you got this blog started, and made me comfortable checking in too. Have a great weekend coming up!

    Misty, you think Friday's xword was tough. I'm busy slogging through the Saturday nightmare.

    The killer is is the critical squares occupied by obscure pop-culs
