Visual Description: Hawaiians will be DEMANDING an apology! 😜
MPOHO = OOMPH, SIOTH = HOIST, RAWNDO = ONWARD, TARMOL = MORTAL — Giving us: OMOSOMO
Clue/Question: The cow decided to create her own clothing and was making – – –
Answer: “MOO–MOOS“
(The muʻumuʻu is a Hawaiian dress, which was imposed on the women of Hawaii by the Protestant Missionary Haoles in the 1820s. The Puritan mindsets thought that native women going topless – as they had for countless generations – was “immodest”. Just another example of Colonialism “correcting” an indigenous people.
All familiar old clue words today. Three of the jumbles came up as new, for me. But we’ve definitely seen “tarmol” before. They all came instantly to me. The answer letter layout was a slight seven letter jumble. Considering that I know what the cow says, this was a quick solve.
I think that the cartoon is both hilarious and cute. But I’m a hated White American Male, so what do I know! I’m pretty sure that there is at least one Hawaiian woman out there – and one is all it takes – that is highly offended by this cartoon! This could be Jeff’s Dr. Seuss moment! Tribune might have to issue both an apology, and a promise that this particular cartoon will never be republished! That is the world that we’ve made for ourselves, folks. Might they come after yer Uncle Rave too, for NOT supporting the brainwashing of Cancel Culture? IDK and IDGAF. Y’all can go back to sleep now. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday, Terence Trent D’Arby (AKA Sanandra Maitreya) Keep marching to the beat of your own drum, brother!

Wow, I’d never learned his real name. So big in the U.K., a flash in the pan in the U.S. unfortunately. But there’s that song we’ll always remember.
Hey Unc, WELL SAID…If they come after you I’ll help in any way possible. My Unc aint getting cancelled. Wimpy
Actually, it’s NOT his real name, Wes. He changed it to that some years ago. D’Arby isn’t even his given last name, it’s Howard! His parents split when he was young, and his mom remarried a guy with the last name Darby. I don’t know if his step-dad formally adopted him, or TTD just took the name. But he added the apostrophe! He took his new name as part of some kind of spiritual rebirth, or something.
He’s a little bit like Prince. Extremely talented, but also a little – lot – eccentric. I think he must have a bad agent, or he doesn’t get along with record producers, or something. Because the talent is definitely there! — YUR
LOL! Thanks, Wimpy! — YUR
Unc,
This cartoon is clever, but is it in bad taste… comparing muumuu wearing woman to cows ?
I don’t know… ?
Muumuu ?
It was nice knowing you while it lasted , Unc.
I hope I get to read you somewhere else.
You know the old saying: “The show’s not over ’til the ‘fat’ lady sings.”
Yes, the one wearing the muumuu; I can hear her warming up, now. 🙂
I think that *comparison* is your inference, lwc. It’s just a silly play on words. Whenever a funny sounding foreign word gets adopted into the English language people are going to make little jokes about it. You should hear me with some of my wife’s Tagalog! I hope you haven’t bought into ALL the “cancel culture” nonsense! Because most of it is ridiculous. And, that’s coming from an unapologetic, card carrying Progressive Liberal. — YUR
I try to answer all the reader’s comments in order, lwc. And, it looks like you are *commenting* on the posts in order as well! I was P.O.’d at the changes that WordPress forced upon us bloggers, and it hit me at just the wrong time. I cooled down, adapted, and got back up on that horse. (One of the many annoyances of the *NEW* WordPress is they took away the edit bar for Comments!) — YUR
“I think that *comparison* is your inference, lwc.”
Okay, Unc.
I was trying to take a dig at your expense and got caught.
I’ll have to be more clever next time. 🙂
Not my expense, lwc. David and Jeff’s. I don’t create them, I just “spoil” them. — YUR
