Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/02/18

“Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.”   —   Jose Ortega y Gasset

(I pay attention to blatant misspellings, and the using of the wrong – similar sounding – words.  Sometimes bad punctuation bothers me, but I can’t afford to throw stones there.  Not our first José Ortega y Gasset quote.  I’m sure WordPress will link us to one, or more, older ones.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 08/02/18

Visual Description:  Squiddly Diddly meets Captain Kangaroo.

VERPO  =  PROVE,  THAWC  =  WATCH,  NWORTH  =  THROWN,  OLAFTA  =  AFLOAT   —   Giving us:  ROEWHTHNAAT

Clue/Question:  When the alien walked off his spaceship, the people watching said – – –

Answer:  WHAT ON EARTH?

(There were no new clue words today.  However, all of the jumbles came up as new.  They weren’t too tough for me though.  “Olafta” sounds like a prescription medication, to me.  The answer letter layout was a great jumble.  I kind of saw WHAT right away though.

Really fun cartoon.  The one-eyed octo/squid is a very popular form of alien.  That’s either Captain Kangaroo, or a doorman who just happened to be passing.  It looks like the one guy is so shocked he dropped his coffee!  Another is so engrossed in his smart phone, that he doesn’t even see that an alien has just landed.  Hopefully, the aliens will beam him up!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
