Answer:  HEIRLOOM

(This Jumble answer is surprisingly accurate, when you look up the etymology of the word heirloom.  An heir is anyone who inherits something from a relative.  And the word loom is originally a more generic word for any tool or apparatus.  But it’s more commonly known for the machine that weaves yarn, or thread, into a fabric.  This Jumble sounds like it sprung from the mind of David L. Hoyt!

All four clue words are on the ralis95 clue word database.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  But it seems that we have seen “rahdo” in the past.  I thought that “felyeu” was a nifty jumble.  The answer letter layout was a great eight letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.  The guy’s dialog was the biggest clue, for me.

Fantastic drawing of the antique loom, with the modern looms in the background.  It’s a good thing that folks came up with the loom, otherwise we’d all be running around in bearskins – like cave people – or buckskins, like the earlier Indigenous Americans!  Sure, skins looked great on Raquel Welch, but she looked good in just about everything.  Educational Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

  1. Oh what a tangled web 🕷️ we weave! The only thing Raquel Welch looks better in is NOTHING 👀. She really was a true natural beauty. She was before my time, but I do remember seeing photos of her in one of my dads old Playboy magazines 🐰. I think it was “Sex Stars of the 70s” pictorial or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️ That was before Breast Implants 🍈🍈ruined some of these beautiful 😍 ladies.

    Speaking of the olden days, the geriatric gang over there 👉 posted 17x y’day, 10 from their great great geezer 🙋🏻‍♀️ Ang*l@. That was before the fake fun-bags were popular too! 🍐🍐.

    Oh damn I missed the Republican debate the other night! 😞. Rumor has it Chris Christie was the star ⭐️! Yikes , that guy is large and in charge! 😱 I don’t think he has much of a shot to beat The Donald 🍊. He’s busy selling mug 🍵 shot tee shirts 👕 on Twitter! What a world 🌎! And stay off airplanes if you try to over throw Putin 🇷🇺! ✈️ 💥

    Everyone have a nice weekend 🍸 !

  2. I don’t think either one of us missed much, Smitty. Ramalamadingdong tried WAY too hard for a first debate, coming out as the uber Trump supporter, and trying to pick a fight with just about everyone. Pence is still a puritanical putz. “Meatball Ron” is #2, and will always smell like it. Haley is hysterically loyal to the state of Israel. Asa and Chris are the only two sane ones that took the stage. The others are also rans.
