Jumble Spoiler – 03/22/21

Visual Description:  Un peu à l’est de Paris.

GVARE  =  GRAVE,  HVOSE  =  SHOVE,  USONIC  =  COUSIN,  VLAYLE  =  VALLEY   —   Giving us:  AESHECSEY

Clue/Question:  While visiting France’s Brie region, they had their photo taken and got to – – –

Answer:  SAY CHEESE

(What DO the French say when they pose for a photo?  I’m pretty sure they don’t say FROMAGE!  Unless they don’t like to smile in their pictures.  Maybe our friend Micheline can educate us.  She’s really French-Canadian, but it stands to reason that it would apply to our friends to the North.  How about it, dear lady?

Not a new clue word to be found.  But they’re all words that haven’t been used in a while.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “hvose” before.  I  really like “usonic”!  It sounds like it should be a real word.  I’m sure some sharp marketing mind could do great things with a word like “usonic”.  The answer letter layout was a nifty nine letter jumble.  But you didn’t need to be Marie Curie, or Marilyn vos Savant, to figure out the answer.  I threw them in because we’re currently celebrating Women’s History month.  Did anyone – besides me – notice that Black History month was kind of given short shrift this year, but Women’s History is all the rage???  Why is that?  And, other than the idiot/racist/shit who shot up the massage parlors, I’m seeing the vast majority of attacks on Asians coming from Blacks/African Americans!  The media has remained decidedly mum on the issue, but I find it highly disturbing that one oppressed minority is taking things out on another minority!  What do the Psychologists/Psychiatrists have to say about this phenomenon???  Where is Rodney King through all of this?  “Can we all get along?”  Hate SUCKS, no matter who is doing the hating.  We should be able to ALL get along.  I think it starts with:  Can we all smarten up?  Because too many of us are wallowing in our own ignorance.  Let’s ALL make a conscious effort to smarten up, people.  A society divided against itself, cannot stand.  And if we cannot stand, how can we possibly move forward?

Cheesy cartoon, bro!  LOL!  Artisanally speaking, that is!  From griping to gibing.  That’s yer Uncle Rave, folks.  Wake TF up, be well and actively do good, friends.)   —   YUR
