Jumble Spoiler – 05/15/13

A small vegetable garden in May outside of Austin, Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Visual Description:  Opening scene from Children of the Corn XXVII (The Return of Malachi!).

NAGIT  =  GIANT,  RAYAR  =  ARRAY,  ROFLAM  =  FORMAL,  SARMHY  =  MARSHY   —   Giving us:  GNARAMA

Clue/Question:  The “garden” was always in “danger” because it was . . .

Answer:  AN ANAGRAM

(I hope you kids picked up on the quotation marks in the clue/question!  Not really a pun, today, more of a riddle, I’d say.  The clue words were all jumbled well.  I thought “giant” and “marshy” were the toughest of the four.  Don’t think any of them were new.  I’ll check later.  The answer letter layout was great.  And, the cartoon is really great!  ralis95 is back!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 05/15/13

 

English: The gravestone of author Roald Dahl in the churchyard of the Church of St. Peter and Paul and Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”   —   Roald Dahl

(That must be why everybody tells me how great I look!  No brag, but no lie.  As subjective a statement as that is, I do believe that the vast majority of my thoughts are *good*.  Still a realist, but a very optimistic realist.  Surprisingly, this is our first Dahl quote, since I’ve been *spoiling* you guys!  Looks like there are a great many Dahl fans out there.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I know a guy named Ronald, who lives on Amundsen Lane.  Actually, there used to be two, but one died.  Can anyone tell me why I brought up this strange little tidbit?   —   YUR
