(Tough) Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/25/10

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply give you courage.”   —   Lao Tzu

(My first Lao Tzu quote!  At least under this particular spelling of his name.  This sounds like the basis of my – and most other successful – marriage(s).  No “I”s, “A”s, “THE”s, “AND”s, “ARE”s, “FOR”s, “NOT”s, or “BUT”s today!  Luckily, there were enough “E”s to figure things out.  But, I had to get “SOMEONE” first, before things really started to jibe.)   —   YUR 

Jumble Spoiler – 08/25/10

Visual Description:  A good luck sign at the coronation?

UNAFA  =  FAUNA,  REBBI  =  BRIBE,  GONING  =  NOGGIN,  TIDOAR  =  ADROIT   —   Giving us:  NEGRI

Clue/Question:  When the shower dampened the coronation, it became a . . .

Answer:  “REIGN“

(These guys must live in one of the Mid-Atlantic states, because after a late Spring and Summer of drought and heatwaves – BUT GLOBAL WARMING IS JUST A LIBERAL MYTH, RIGHT? – we’ve seen 3 straight days of rain and cloudy skys.  We needed the rain badly, and I’m sure most of us are glad to give the AC some time off.  The electric bills have been HUGE!  Oh, well.  Great clue words today!  The guys probably should be a little more sensitive to some of their readers.  “REBBI” is a variant of Rebbe, which is derived from Rabbi.  Associating the word “BRIBE”  with “REBBI” could be viewed as insulting.  Yer Uncle thinks the world – especially the U.S. – is much too caught up in political correctness, but that’s life in the 21st century!  Be good, do good, people!)   —   YUR
