“Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.”   —   Democritus

(Education?  Uhh, what’s that?   —   Rick Perry, aka: Republicanus.  Alright, alright!  I’m just kidding . . . sorta.  But, the state of Texas does hold the dubious distinction of ranking #49 in verbal SAT scores and #46 in math SAT scores!  Attaboy, Rick!  And, some folks want this guy to be our next president?  Thank goodness only 10% of the Iowa Caucus voters have been taken in by this GWB clone/clown.  Go home, Rick!  Get your public schools in order.  Well, there goes my Texas fan-base!  DOH!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  A scene from National Lampoon‘s first – theatrically released – movie.

MALAL  =  LLAMA,  PIRMC  =  CRIMP,  TATYRN  =  TYRANT,  YSPLIM  =  SIMPLY   —   Giving us:  LAARPANTIMY

Clue/Question:  The dog was content to sleep through all the festivities because he wasn’t a . . .

Answer:  PARTY ANIMAL

(It looks like Flounder, Otter – looks a little like Hoover too, but the outfit is more Otter, Bluto and Otis Day gettin’ down at the Toga Party, in Animal House!  Very funny movie.  It’s hard to believe that it came out nearly 34 years ago!  Boy, does that make me feel old.  I can still remember who I saw it with, though.  I wonder how ol’ Deb is doing?  Er . . . back to the Jumble.  ralis95 has three words to add to the database.  The first is “crimp” – great word!  The second is “simply”, and the third is *simple*.  After I saw that “simply” wasn’t there I decided to check for *simple*, and was surprised not to find it.  So, might as well add both to the database, along with “crimp”, of course.  Everything was jumbled well, and the answer letter layout was excellent!  I hope all of you enjoyed today’s Jumble as much as I did.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
