TUFOL  =  FLOUT,  INGAR  =  GRAIN,  ENTAUB  =  BUTANE,  UGUTOD  =  DUGOUT   —   Giving us:  LAIBEDG

Clue/Question:  When he proposed during their card game, it was . . .

Answer:  A BIG “DEAL“

(Today’s jumble?  Enh.  Weddings in America?  –  Just saw the Chelsea Clinton *plans*.  –  What a HUGE racket!  And what a sorry bunch of saps are we for succumbing to all that hype.  I can not imagine a society more manipulated than ours.  And the saddest thing is that the vast majority of us do not even recognize that we are manipulated so.  We utilize all the rationalizations that we have been fed (like pablum to a baby).  And, we recite them like dutiful little parrots.  “The Men Who Stare at Goats” is a modern comedy.  “The People Who Stare at TV, Computers and Hand-held Devices”  is becoming a modern tragedy.  Can’t anybody think for themselves anymore???)   — YUR
