“Women aren’t trying to do too much.  There’s too much to do.”   —   Mary Kay Blakely

(I don’t know if this is paraphrased, or from a longer quotation/passage, but I couldn’t find it as a listed quote.  Looks like it was something that was run in the Los Angeles Times, back in 1989.  Fairly challenging cryptoquote, despite the help from the apostrophes.  Peace.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/29/11

Visual Description:  Our buddy Jeff, revisiting one of his favorite films!

CONTH  =  NOTCH,  AKYKA  =  KAYAK,  ONOLIT  =  LOTION,  VCEXON  =  CONVEX   —   Giving us:  OCAATINV

Clue/Question:  Chevy Chase worked hard on his movie career, even during his 1983 . . .

Answer:  VACATION

(Pretty much a gimme, today.  I suspect that Jeff has the hots for Beverly D’Angelo!  One of his boyhood fantasies, no doubt.  No shame in that.  She IS one fine lookin’ lady!  And, an accomplished actress/singer to boot.  And of course, the movie is a modern day comedy classic!  It looks like “kayak” is new to the Jumble world, but the jumbling wasn’t very challenging.  All the other clue words were – more or less – old standards.  Needless to say, I didn’t need to back into any of them.  The answer letter layout was fine, but the answer should have been pretty obvious to most movie buffs.  Great cartoon!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
