Visual Description:  A sorely disappointed rodeo contestant.

BLAYK  =  BALKY,  LUFAW  =  AWFUL,  TEPPIC  =  PEPTIC,  SUMOFA  =  FAMOUS —   Giving us:  BKWUECFS

Clue/Question:  What the cowboy ended up with at the rodeo.

Answer:  A FEW “BUCKS“

(Looks like our cowboy wasn’t able to take care of business, after all!  I bet a lot of you had at least some trouble with “balky”.  Yer Uncle has never seen balk used as an adjective before, but that’s all that seemed to work.  And, after I Googled it, I saw that it’s . . . legit!  If you’re traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday please be safe.  Don’t take those un-necessary risks.  And, try to keep your temper.  Everyone – supposedly – has a reason for being a bonehead, so try to keep that in mind.  Be good, do good, chilluns!)   — YUR
