“Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world.”   —   Marilyn Monroe

(Whimsical.  And, perhaps the inspiration for Sex In The City?  This Spring I visited the Pierce Bros Westwood Village Memorial Park, where Marilyn and a whole slew of other Hollywood celebrities are “buried”.  It’s crazy, because it’s so small and it’s hidden away behind towering highrises.  You actually have to know where to look for it.  It’s a fun, fast and free attraction, that most visitors to L.A. seldom see.  Visiting cemeteries is not exactly my idea of a lot of fun, but I highly recommend it. )   —   YUR

PS.  Congrats, Pat!  You submitted a comment (twice) with the answer to today’s Jumble and Cryptoquote, prior to my posting them. (Actually, it was while I was composing the Jumble Spoiler)  You’re new, so we’ll excuse this breech of spoiler etiquette just this one time.  From time to time, I may require some help from my fellow puzzle devotees, but I’ll come out and ask for it.  I’m glad for you, but I don’t accept unsolicited help.  But, feel free to comment on anything I’ve posted, or other comments.   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 08/10/11

Image via Wikipedia

Visual Description:  It is a Jumble, wrapped in a stage show, inside a theater; but perhaps there is a key. (Apologies to Winnie!)

GUSNW  =  SWUNG,  KREYP  =  PERKY,  DLADOE  =  LOADED,  CSOMOH  =  SMOOCH   —   Giving us:  SWNPRYLADOO

Clue/Question:  The stage performance of Jumble was a . . .

Answer:  PLAY ON WORDS

(Wow.  The guys are on the top of their game with this one!  All the clue words were very well scrambled.  The answer letter layout gave nothing away.  And the cartoon is as corny as Heck!  I actually hesitated a bit on “perky”.  I know it’s a real word, but it just kinda sounds like a made up word, to me.  And, the answer is what the Jumble is all about.  Maybe the Jumble will become a huge sensation with the teen/college crowd, and the guys will actually tour the U.S and Canada colleges and universities, with their LIVE show!  Emceed by, none other than . . . Yer Uncle Rave!  And, maybe pigs will learn to fly.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
