Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/04/16

“A folksinger is someone who sings through his nose by ear.”   —   Anonymous

(I think this Anonymous must be a Country/Western fan, trying to deflect some criticism!  Because, with the rare exception of Bob Dylan, Country/Western singers are – generally speaking – much more nasal than folksingers.  It took some time for me to even figure out the word “folksinger”, because it doesn’t seem to fit the opinion.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 09/04/16

Visual Description:  Billiards buffoon.

TENNIY  =  NINETY,  CLEOLA  =  LOCALE,  RUBADS  =  ABSURD,  TISNIS  =  INSIST,  CRADOC  =  ACCORD,  BLUMYH  =  HUMBLY   —   Giving us:  NELAEABNSTARDMB

Clue/Question:  The rude pool player wasn’t liked very much.  Everyone thought he had – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (3-letters) (5-letters) (7-letters)

Answer:  BAD TABLE MANNERS

(At least I hope that’s the answer!  The answer letter layout is so good that the answer does not jump out at you.  It seems to eyeball okay, and the answer does make sense.  Decent pun!  We actually have a new clue word today!  I hope ralis95 is reading his email today, because he doesn’t get/do the Sunday Jumble.  The word “humbly” needs to be added to the world famous clue word database.  Four of the jumbles came up as new, as we’ve seen both “tenniy” and “tisnis” in the past.  We’ve had “absurd” many times, but not with today’s jumble, so I liked “rubads”.  “Cradoc” looked familiar, but I couldn’t find it as a used jumble.  I like the cartoons where Jeff inserts himself and David.  I think that’s Hoyt, but I can’t be sure.  I’m thinking that they really do know the rude dude, but who knows.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
