“Courtship is the process of seeking a girl’s hand until she has you under her thumb.”   —   Mickey Rooney

(After 8 wives . . . I’d say that Mick’s more than qualified to make this comment!  Y’all know how Your Uncle Rave loves puns and word play!  Have a great Sunday.  Be good, do good, people!)   —   YUR

Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 08/15/10

Visual Description:  Pre-fight scene from “Rocky III”.

KANTIE  =  INTAKE,  HURTOF  =  FOURTH,  GONALS  =  SLOGAN,  RIVETH  =  THRIVE,  DIOING  =  INDIGO,  YONDOB  =  NOBODY   —   Giving us:  TKOHSOTHEINNO

Clue/Question:  What the boxer did when he tripped in the locker room.

Answer:  TOOK IT ON THE SHIN

(Another awkward Sunday jumble puzzle.  It probably would have been clearer if the Clue/Question had been set up as:  WHEN THE BOXER TRIPPED IN THE LOCKER ROOM HE . . .  And, maybe there should be quotation marks around “SHIN”.  That word makes the play on words.  Love the cartoon, though!  It looks like Rocky and Mick!)   —   YUR
