Answer:  “GHOUL“ FRIEND

(They used this gag in my granddaughter’s classroom this morning!  We’re out visiting my stepson and his family this weekend.  Sorry about missing yesterday’s spoilers.  Maybe I’ll get to them later next week.  I’m doing today’s from Arkansas Online, and I’m not printing them out.  Should make the Cryptoquote interesting!  Looks like no new clue words today.  Great answer letter layout, and a fun Halloween cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  PROPER ATTIRE

(Not a bad pun!  You need the proper attire to change a tire.  All, but the jumble for “expert”, were new to me.  I’m not sure about the clue words.  I’ll check on those later.  The answer letter layout was splendiforous!  I don’t think it gave anything away.  The cartoon is pretty spiffy.  Be well and do good, friends.  The spoilers might be a little spotty the next few days.  Nobody hold their breath!)   —   YUR

Book Review – Agent Storm: My Life inside Al-Queda and the CIA

I like real life adventure/spy stories!

MJ Reads

Agent Storm: My Life Inside Al Queda and the CIA by Morton Storm with Paul Cruickshaw & Tim Lister

After seeing Agent Storm being interviewed about his dangerous adventures as a double agent for The Taliban and The CIA , I immediately downloaded his book. As A Danish citizen who spent his youth in a motorcycle gang, going in and out of jail seems, he seems to be an unlikely candidate to become an Islamic follower.  After reading a book about The Prophet Muhammad, Morten Storm is mesmerized by the Islamic religion, prompting his conversion to Islam. He moves to the UK, becomes radicalized and goes to Yemen to study Arabic. There are many twist and turns in his story. He explains the connection between different Islamic networks and their secret communication methods, along with finding a European wife for al-Awlaki.

Clue/Question:  The outfielders started their own band and played – – –

Answer:  CATCHY SONGS

(I thought this answer was pretty tough to get.  For a couple of minutes, I thought I was going to have to put it up for you guys to bail me out.  It finally dawned on me that the second word had to be “songs”.  With the leftovers, I came up with “catchy”.  Decent pun.  All the jumbling was new to me.  And, we seem to have another new clue word for the ralis95 clue word database, in “gotten”.  Plain old “gotten”!  The answer letter layout sure didn’t give anything away.  It was a super jumble.  The cartoon was rockin’ the house!  Game 6 is going on as I post this!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  After the student disrupted the class, the teacher – – –

Answer:  TAUGHT HIM A LESSON

(Wow!  A 16 – letter answer!  That’s pretty big.  Maybe not the best of puns, but it was alright.  A bunch of new jumbles today, and even a new clue word for the ralis95 clue word database, in “meekly”.  The answer letter layout was a thing of beauty.  Especially, considering the misdirection of the cartoon and it’s dialogue.  The answer had nothing to do with bones or skeletons.  I liked Jeff’s personal touch, of the one student wearing an Andrew Luck jersey.  He is one mega-talented QB.  I wish the Bills had him.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
