(Today’s Jumble is infinitely punny! I always enjoy the Jumbles where David and Jeff are clearly experimenting with hallucinogenic substances. I don’t know if it’s LSD, or magic mushrooms, but it appears to be a pleasant trip. Nothing is melting, or turning into a hideous creature, or anything! Just stay away from the brown acid, guys!
All of today’s clue words are longtime members of the clue word establishment, man! No new slang/lingo. Three of the jumbles appear to be new, while we’ve definitely seen “tinyu” in previous Jumbles. The answer letter layout was a nifty nine letter jumble. I think the final answer slots, with their hyphens, were the big clue for me.
Great cartoon of the Eights checking in at the numbers spa/resort. I think that the fives have already started their happy hour! I like the desk clerk’s little bow tie, and his toupee. I bet – like casino with no windows – they don’t allow clocks there. Why would they want to look at working numbers? A great way to end the work week. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
