“Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.”   —   George S. Patton

(I’m sure, when he said it, it must have ended with an exclamation point!  Mega type-A personality there.  Guys like that can be very effective, and there are definitely times when you want someone like him, doing what they do.  But, generally, people like that just piss the rest of us off!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

MEEEC  =  EMCEE,  OEDGD  =  DODGE,  AABCSU  =  ABACUS,  DOLYIB  =  BODILY   —   Giving us:  EMDGAAD

Clue/Question:  The beavers’ home had been there for years, but now it was – – –

English: American actor Cole Hauser, master of ceremonies at the 9th Mission Support Command Spring Festival, signs an autograph for a young fan (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Answer:  DAM–AGED

(I’d say it looks more rav-aged!  But, there’s no pun in that!  None of the clue words were new, and only the jumble for “emcee” had definitely been used before.  Strange, that it’s a legitimate word though, considering that it’s a word made from an acronym for Master of Ceremonies.  The jumble for “abacus” is in alphabetical order.  The answer letter layout was nifty, but the answer was pretty obvious.  I bet Vijay solved it in 6.4 seconds!  Funny cartoon.  I always like critters!  Even varmints.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
