Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/10/16

“You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it.  You have to go down the chute.”   —   Tina Fey

(But, I think most of us have been there at one time or another.  It’s true though.  When you overthink things you’re more likely to chicken out.  No matter what you believe, or don’t, you have to be willing to take that leap of faith.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 12/10/16

Visual Description:  Kang and Kodos hit the freeway.

RIGBN  =  BRING,  GOCLI  =  LOGIC,  FUXSIF  =  SUFFIX,  SENUGI  =  GENIUS   —   Giving us:  IGLOISFFENS

Clue/Question:  When the aliens landed on the highway, they saw – – –

Answer:  SIGNS OF LIFE

(More like signs of “civilization”.  But, there’s no gag in that!  It’s hard to say much nice about billboards, though.  No new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve seen “gocli” before.  I think it’s been a while since we’ve seen “suffix”, and I really liked “senugi”.  That should be my new sarcastic code-word for people I don’t think are too bright.  Oh, yeah.  That guy’s a real senugi!  The answer letter layout was a nifty jumble too.  It didn’t give the answer away.  Love the cartoon.  I believe Jumbletown is somewhere in the Mid-West, no?  Somewhere between Detroit and Chicago, no doubt.  The aliens are much cuter than Kang and Kodos, but they did remind me of the aliens that observe Springfield, on The Simpsons.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
