Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete”How Many Alarms?”
Most agendas exile
“Dragon’s Breath” warmth: ten-alarm
peppers grind too hot.

ReplyDeleteFLN, I just noticed how friend Wilbur proffered a gentle challenge to me, with regard to decoding Owen’s embedded W-solution yesternight—after he disowned “oft replay” as his intended answer.
I reckon CEh! and other interested parties have solved it by now.
But I don’t recall anyone posting this kind of code on the site before now, so this was a welcome addition to our bags of tricks!
After so many hours have gone by,
Continuing the gap of time, &
Rudely extending your embarrassment
Over missing the most obvious,
Supremely glaring answer,
This free-form verse spells it out for you.
I hope you accept my initiation to the
Code favored by Maestro Owen.
(No need to delve deeply.
In fact, you needn’t read my entire piece—not even to the end of each line.)
~ OMK
Game show contestant, Lee,
ReplyDeleteOn his turn, he picks "E".
To his delight,
He picked right,
Now the solution he can see!
WC- no I had not found Owen’s hidden W from yesterday. Even with your hint, it took me a minute to see it. Brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteDown in Front indeed.
Back later. More decorations to take down.
Efficient & sufficient, Misty.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Wilbur ~ I am not sure which hint you mean.
In any case, no, I did not use a hint—neither today (needing 5 tries myself to reach the impish answer!),
nor FLN, where Owen‘s neat encoding was easy to spot.
But thank you for the challenge. I saw it when I went back to skim the postings on my Day-Off.
I see Owen went back to a typical (for us) style of embedding today, providing a chuckle in his 2nd line. Sweet!
~ OMK
CEh! ~ Congrats -
ReplyDeleteEver glad to extend a hand,
happy (haha) to help you decode! ~ OMK
!!
Btw..BTW...
ReplyDeleteI reposted a verse from Ivanhoe sparked by the word HERBAL
Then another C&L, the latter I'll repost here
Using Sunday J's
ReplyDelete"So its agreed then, I'll get in touch with Lois mom, the dad I assign
To Charles. He's good at loosening up folk though usually with wine."
"Thank heaven", said Chet, "I've had restless nights dreading this necessary atone.
In fact it exposes my incomplete 9th Step which Neal* does not condone" .
"And that opens up" Lois enjoins, "a giant spigot of grief One for which I no longer can delay nor have herbal relief."
WC
Sorry. I can't say much, WC, about your use of Sunday J-Words.
ReplyDelete(Why they keep posting on my day-off, is just beyond me!)
But it is good to know that, between Nora & Charles, Lois' parents will be covered well before the nuptials.
And that any necessary applications of wine can be handled by non-AA folk!

Winged Encounter
ReplyDeleteAn exiled pixie
With a gender neutral,
Peered through the window
At the warmth of the fireplace.
The smell of their favourite grind of coffee
Wafted through the air.
“We’re alarmed” cried the householders
“Go to Starbucks.”
Well, I took a long time to return.
ReplyDeleteMy offering today is not very well polished, but it may bring a smile.
Fun to read you all.
Your offering about that exiled pixie today was delightful, CanadianEh!, as was everyone else's.
ReplyDelete, you haiku brilliantly expressed all J words and solution, as always. A treat, followed by your elegant verse.
Wilbur, so nice to see Chet and Lois back, and Louis' last line just made me laugh and cheer.
I don't know why your name sometimes gets erased from my comments, OMK, Ol' Man Keith. I'm writing your name twice in the hope that one version will survive and you'll know it was meant for you.
ReplyDeleteCEh! ~ “Go to Starbucks” may be your HHs’ equivalent to garlic-versus-vampires!
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope it works.
Hey, did you notice a certain repeated effect in my last post to you?
Misty ~ Thanks for making the extra effort in printing my name.
I have had the same problem at times. It is alway because one or more of the brackets (< or >) is absent or reversed.
As for my so-called “elegant” verse, did you notice the word formed by the first letters (read vertically, downwards)? —My answer to how Owen coded OPERA yesterday…
~ OMK
OMK- thanks for pointing it out. I had not noticed - d’uh, after all our previous discussion of Owen’s brilliant work.
ReplyDeleteAnd you had two exclamation marks!!
