MILBP = BLIMP, PENIT = INEPT, HOXTAR = THORAX, LAPTEL = PALLET — Giving us: BIMITTHOAET
Clue/Question: He wanted to buy the classic drum set, but someone . . .
Answer: BEAT HIM TO IT
(Okey dokey. Some nice clue word jumbling. I liked “thorax”. Looks like “pallet” is going to be a new addition to the ralis95 clue word database. Decent, but not great answer letter layout. Starts with a B and ends with a T! That email thing doesn’t apply just to individual words, ya know! Nice group of mop-tops, Knurek. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Interesting history about the word BLIMP, which everyone in the States associates with the Goodyear airships. The term actually goes back to WWI when the British began experimenting with lighter-than-air airships without internal frameworks (vs. Zeppelins that had massive metal structures). The initial non-rigid craft was designated the A-limp (for lacking stiffness) and the improved second version became the B-limp – shortened eventually to just blimp after they were successfully deployed.
