Clue/Question: His claim that he could eat a hotdog in just two bites was – – –

Answer: HARD TO SWALLOW
(I’ve never really been able to appreciate the spectacle of these eating contests. They’re essentially obscene displays of gluttony, and – no doubt – waste, as many of the participants end up tossing their . . . cookies. I guess it’s just a perverse kind of fascination. Kind of like watching a train wreck. I personally could never do it. I prefer to enjoy the art of savoring a meal, or even a snack. Taking my time, and experiencing the flavor of the food. I’d sooner run a marathon, before entering one of these eating contests. And, you know that ain’t gonna happen!
Huzzah! We appear to have a brand new clue word for the world famous ralis95 clue word database. I had a funny feeling while unscrambling “thoyl” that “hotly” might be new . . . and it seems to be so. Two other jumbles appear to be new, while we’ve definitely seen “wordsy” before. The answer letter layout was a great thirteen letter jumble, but the whole setup just made getting today’s final answer a breeze, for me.
Great cartoon of teen boys at the sea, or lake, shore. I can’t make out what is on the boy’s cap, but I like the foot long vendor cart! And, just to the right of the vendor cart’s umbrella, you can see a tiny, classic sinking sailboat! A fine Saturday Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. Google insists on making hotdog two words, but surprisingly WordPress accepts it! This might be the first time I’ve agreed with WordPress! — YUR
