Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/01/17

“Making a big Hollywood film that really affects people is as hard as making a small movie on a credit card.”   —   Cameron Crowe

(I can see how both would be pretty difficult!  Our first quote from the mouth of Cameron Crowe, at least since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  Maybe we’ll see more from the American director, producer, screenwriter, journalist, author, and actor.  A man of many hats.  I think I’ve seen all of his films.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 09/01/17

Visual Description:  Teen’s pig sty.  (All apologies to pigs everywhere.)

PRUUS  =  USURP,  RUDOG  =  GOURD,  NARMEN  =  MANNER,  WUNIES  =  UNWISE   —   Giving us:  SURGODMANNISE

Clue/Question:  She wanted her daughter to clean her room and wasn’t – – – 

Answer:  MESSING AROUND

(Mama bringin’ the hammer down!  A good, stinky pun.  All familiar clue words, with two new jumbles.  We’ve definitely had “pruus” and “narmen” before.  Isn’t Narmen the feminine of Norman???  I didn’t struggle with any of today’s jumbles, and I’m still not the biggest fan of Un words.  Sure, they’re legitimate words, but I just think they are uncool.  I really enjoyed the answer letter layout.  It kind of spells out SIRGODMANNICE, which sort of describes yer uncle, when you come to think of it.  LOL!  Actually, I think it did a wonderful job of disguising the answer.  I saw nothing obvious in it.  Another great, highly detailed cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  The cartoon at the top is one of my favorites from my newspaper’s comics section.  It’s called “Zits”, by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman.  My son, Derek, is 30 now, but “Jeremy” still makes me think of my boy.   —   YUR
