Cryptoquote Spoiler – 06/04/18

“You know, you don’t have to be famous, you just have to make your mother and father proud of you.”   —   Meryl Streep

(Yeah.  They’ll likely give you crap about how you could be doing better . . . in private, of course.  But in public, they are more likely to boast about you.  I guess that’s better than the reverse.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 06/04/18

 

Visual Description:  Bar stool brawl.

DWROL  =  WORLD,  SOBUG  =  BOGUS,  RLIMYF  =  FIRMLY,  GUEHNO  =  ENOUGH   —   Giving us:  WOBORMLEO

Clue/Question:  He challenged him to arm wrestle.  Now they just needed some – – –

Answer:  ELBOW ROOM

(A macho pun!  Or, at least the set up was macho.  Guys will be guys.  Or, boneheads will be boneheads.  It all makes for a good Jumble. 

All of the clue words are old, but all of their jumbles appear to be new.  They were all good jumbles, but I saw the words right away.  The answer letter layout was a wonderful jumble.  It didn’t give the answer away.  The big clues were the one line of dialog:  “It’s too crowded for this”, and the leading nature of the clue/question.

The cartoon is a fun bar scene.  Besides the pitcher of beer, it looks like they had some Buffalo wings, and still have some fried mozzarella sticks.  Looks like there’s a good crowd there.  I wonder what game is on?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
