“I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.”   —   Andy Warhol

(I used to do that as a kid.  Just stare at something until it kind of blurred/melted away.  The same thing happens when you repeat any word, over and over again.  Pretty soon it sounds like utter nonsense.  Although not exactly “The Pride of Pittsburgh”, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh has loads to offer, and is a popular Pittsburgh destination.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  Sis boom bah!!!

INOON  =  ONION,  UNDOR  =  ROUND,  TEGRAH  =  GATHER,  FLUREF  =  RUFFLE   —   Giving us:  OIORONGTHRRFE

Clue/Question:  As she tried out for the cheerleading squad, her friends were – – –

Answer:  ROOTING FOR HER

(The Brits/WordPress don’t seem to recognize cheerleading as a legit compound word.  They have it as two words, and at best a hyphenated word.  Do the Brits even have cheerleaders???  It would seem so unlike them.  Rah . . . ther.

Hey, guess what?  We have another new clue word today!  Yup.  David Hoyt has finally given us “ruffle”.  So, our good buddy, ralis95, can add that to his world famous clue word database.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, with “inoon” having been used in the past.  The answer letter layout was an impressive thirteen letter jumble.  My first thought was ROOTING HER ON, but I quickly saw the correct answer.

Cute gym scene cartoon, with middle school looking girls.  I like how Jeff added a judge, sitting at a folding card table.  The positive dialog from all of the friends were the big clues.  A very satisfying Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
