Cryptoquote Spoiler – 07/19/16

“I don’t believe in villains – just people who channel their energy in the wrong way.”   —   Elizabeth McGovern

(Aah!  The progeny of two teachers.  Surely, she was raised in an environment that encouraged questioning . . . just about everything.  Especially if neither of them were teaching creationism!  It’s just seems so simplistic attaching the label “evil” to people, and things, who/that run contrary to most of our values.  But then again, it is also much more acceptable to do so.  Be well, try to be fair, and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 07/19/16

Visual Description:  Fictionalized agent of a wild and crazy guy!

CIYKP  =  PICKY,  INKEF  =  KNIFE,  ONKYDE  =  DONKEY,  TUTELO  =  OUTLET   —   Giving us:  PICKIDNKLET

Clue/Question:  When Steve Martin got the role of Inspector Clouseau, he was – – –

Answer:  TICKLED PINK

(While it’s not very likely that the woman in the cartoon is Chris Andrews (II) – Steve’s agent – it’s not totally out of the question either.  Since Caitlyn Jenner came onto the scene, it’s no longer safe to assume anything!  Does anybody remember when Up was up???  😉

There were no new clue words today, but the two middle clue word jumbles are coming up as new.  We have seen “ciykp” and “tutelo” before.  The answer letter layout was okie-dokie.  Swapping the order of the clue words might have made it a little more cryptic.  The cartoon is great.  I liked Steve’s banjo leaning up against the table, and the stills from Parenthood and The Jerk hanging on the wall.  Nice likeness of Steve too, as he is – facially, not talentwise – fairly unremarkable.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Plaster and paint

I’m loving this kind of reverse mindset! Instead of working ON plaster, or wood, he is incorporating these materials into his paintings! Very clever approach. — YUR
