“You don’t have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people.”   —   Jimi Hendrix

(What more could he have given the world of music, had he lived past the tender age of 27?!  Followed by Joplin, Morrison, Cobain and Winehouse . . .  all gone at 27.  Their genius flames burned too intently for their mortal vessels.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  After the plumber made all the connections to the boiler, the radiators were – – –

Answer:  PIPING HOT

(They were hot.  They were heavy.  And, they were hard!  I still have the dent in my forehead, from when I fell off the toilet and hit my head on the radiator.  I was being toilet-trained, and Mom was in the other room.  I guess I had finished my business, and decided to get off the booster seat – which put me at great heights for a toddler – all on my own, and I leant too far forward, and . . . BAM!  Goose-egg like you wouldn’t believe.  So, when you guys start wondering:  What the heck is wrong with Uncle Rave?, now you know.

Ring some bells, and set off some fireworks!  We have a new clue word today.  Yes, “wiggly” is a brand new clue word for us.  We’ve had your basic wiggle, but until today we haven’t gotten “wiggly” with it!  Ralis95 will have to update his world famous clue word database!  And, all of today’s jumbles appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was a fine nine letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Great period piece cartoon.  I’m guessing 1880’s, or 1890’s.  The plumber looks a little like Geraldo Rivera.  Nice pipe wrench.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
