Answer: “PIECE“ A CHANCE
(A nice homophonic pun! I’d bet dollars to donuts that you won’t find a cover of Give Peace a Chance on Tyga‘s latest CD. Hey, if he doesn’t know Sir Paul he definitely doesn’t know John! In all fairness to the pup, it was his security/bouncer who denied Paul McCartney, and company, entrance to Tyga’s Grammy after-party. You have to wonder about those people guarding the entrance though. I’m pretty sure Paul and Beck and Taylor didn’t pull up to the affair in a 1999 Honda Civic, or climb off of a city bus! No. I’m sure it was a stretch SUV. You gotta figure that these people are someones importanté. No? Make a phone call to someone inside, ya bozo!
No new clue words today, but all of the jumbles seem to be new. I got them all right away, but they were all good jumbles. The answer letter layout was another dandy. And, the cartoon was a lot of fun. A little trip down memory lane. “Ev’rybody’s talking about . . . ” Rave-ism, Fave-ism, Dave-ism, Brave-ism, Crave-ism and being well and doing good-ism. Right?) — YUR

Piece of cake! No trouble at all. 🙂
I really wanted to say PIZZA CHANCE, based on the great cartoon … but no Z’s in the scrambled words! Just the thought made me a little hungry.
PS. Excellent, *long* Cryp today, staying on the presidential theme.
It was, indeed, bizarre. Remember, a few years ago, when he won a Grammy, there was a twitshitstorm about who the f*#k was Paul McCartney. Then again, one wonders, why does he even care trying to get into these places? well well
Do you know what’s funny, Vijay? I really hate it when someone says *piece of pizza*. It just doesn’t sound right. It HAS to be *slice of pizza*! But, I have no problem with *piece of pie*! Funny, huh?

Yeah, hal. The Cryptoquote was a good one! — YUR
Wes,
Paul is a fellow Gemini. We never (think we) get old! But, I think he was genuinely amused by the whole situation. He just rolled with the punches, and found another party. Probably one where there was no overwhelming constant baseline! — YUR
I agree, UR. It should really be “slice”. However, I have seen “piece” before in previous Jumbles, so I just went with it.
