Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/29/20

“My mother told me to be a lady.  And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.”  —   Ruth Bader Ginsburg

(The “Notorious RBG”!  May she rest in peace.  Certain republican senators, who are up for re-election in November, are at risk of losing support if they vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett.  Cory Gardner and Martha McSally could lose support if they confirm.  So, they could conceivably join Murkowski and Collins in voting No.  Collins is up for re-election, but Murkowski isn’t.   So, all you Maine, Colorado and Arizona voters let those senators know that you’ve got your eye on them!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

LYODL  =  DOLLY,  ZIPER  =  PRIZE,  SNIYKN  =  SKINNY,  GAUTEO  =  OUTAGE   —   Giving us:  DLLRZESINOUAG

Clue/Question:  The iguana bar was popular and crowded with – – –

Answer:  LOUNGE LIZARDS

(A wonderfully stinky pun!  I think they do probably smell a bit.  I know you should probably wash your hands after handling them, because they can carry Salmonella.  They are fascinating creatures, but not the cuddliest of pets.

Well, hello DOLLY!  Yes, David L. Hoyt has given us a brand new clue word.  Our pal, ralis95, will have to update his world famous clue word database once again.  All four of the jumbles appear to be new also.  The answer letter layout was a thrilling thirteen letter jumble.  Nicely cryptic.  I saw LIZARDS first, then quickly figured out LOUNGE.

Very amusing animal cartoon.  Jeff has a great sense of humor.  I never knew that iguanas liked music!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
