“I never worry about diets.  The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.”   —   Mae West

(Easy solve, with A, I, ARE and two THEs.  NEVER is always easy to spot as well.  This quote is cute, and fairly appropriate for the Black Friday mentality.  I, for one, cannot be bothered with the Black Friday shenanigans.  Too many people completely lose their – already weakened – sense of civility on these big sale days.  Oh, geez!  That reminds me.  I have to drive my son to the mall in about an hour.  The horror . . . the horror.  Be well and do good, friends.  Don’t sell your souls for a the sake of a “bargain”.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/25/11

Visual Description:  Fair play at the race track.

CUORC  =  OCCUR,  EVOCT  =  COVET,  CNKOUL  =  UNLOCK,  RDSANT  =  STRAND   —   Giving us:  OUOTNKSTR

Clue/Question:  When there weren’t enough go-carts to go around, they did this.

Answer:  TOOK TURNS

(A little on the weak side, for me.  The words were all well jumbled.  Both “covet” and “strand” are new words, and they’re good words.  The answer letter layout didn’t give anything away.  And, even the cartoon was pretty good.  I don’t know if it was too obvious, or simplistic, but I just wasn’t feeling it.  Well, they can’t all get Rave reviews, now can they?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
