Jumble Spoiler – 11/14/14

Visual Description:  San Francisco bully-celebs.

TAREF  =  AFTER,  FARDT  =  DRAFT,  MOLPAB  =  APLOMB,  GOOSET  =  STOOGE   —   Giving us:  FEDFALOSE

Clue/Question:  He wanted to fish from the pier, but the marine mammals had it – – –

Answer:  SEALED OFF

(A real stinker of a pun!  Smells like fish breath!  I thought the jumbling of “after” was pretty slick.  All of the jumbling was new to me.  And, Mr. Hoyt has given us yet another new clue word, in “aplomb”.  Ironically, I got that word right away.  Somebody alert ralis95.  His clue word database needs updating . . . again.  The answer letter layout was another masterpiece.  If it wasn’t for Jeff’s great cartoon I don’t think this would have been an easy solve, for anyone.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/14/14

“Equality is not a concept.  It’s not something we should be striving for.  It’s a necessity.  Equality is like gravity.”   —   Joss Whedon

(This quote, along with the author’s name, uses all but two letters of the alphabet . . . X and Z.  Pretty awesome!  The quote itself sounds like something a stoner would say.  But, I agree with its intentions.)   —   YUR
