Visual Description:  A couple of cardinals, scoping out potential targets.

DUNOW  =  WOUND,  LONEV  =  NOVEL,  MODDEO  =  DOOMED,  SENNUK  =  SUNKEN   —   Giving us:  WOUNOLDOOSNK

Clue/Question:  What snobby birds with egos do.

Answer:  LOOK DOWN ON US

(Nice pun!  And, a nice long answer, although it is broken up into 4 small words.  Nice jumbling of the clue words.  None really gave me any trouble.  It looks like “sunken” is going to be another new addition to the ralis95 clue word database.  The answer letter layout gave nothing away.  Cute cartoon.  Looks a little like Hoyt!  Is Jeff wishing that birds would poop on his partner???  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.”   —   Greta Garbo

(Well then, you could always not get dressed at all.  Us guys?  Pffftt!  We’re easy.  It looks like this is the first Garbo quote since I’ve been posting the spoilers.  Hope to see more in the future.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
