(I actually had to think some in solving this one!  No new clue words, but everything was jumbled really nicely.  I especially like “toddle” and “untold”.  The answer letter layout gave nothing away!  That looks a little like Jeff picking up the coin, but it could just as easily be yer Uncle Rave too!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/23/12

Bill O’Reilly at the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, September 30, 2010 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.”   —   Montaigne

(I’d like you – for those of you who partake of the FOX “News” network – to consider this quote the next time you watch Bill O’Reilly, or Sean Hannity, “interview” someone whose views they differ with.  The smarter of the two – if that is even possible – might punctuate his argument by pointing out you – meaning me, in this case – never end a sentence with a preposition.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  The equally bombastic Piers Morgan should also heed the wisdom of this quote.   —   YUR
