Answer: BUILD AN AUDIENCE
(Oh, yeah. These guys are going to get a lot done, with a large flat screen TV taking up the entire work bench! They’ll probably take turns making caveman grunts, a la Tim Allen, while they watch the pros actually build something. This was in reality a fairly tough Sunday Jumble. There were no new clue words, but 5 of the jumbles came up as new. The only one I can confirm that we’ve seen before is “tacili”, and still it gave me some trouble. The other one that gave me a little hassle was “ombyed”. I didn’t have to back into either of them. I just skipped over them after a bit, and then came back and gottem. The answer letter layout was pretty nifty. I liked how the word NAIL stands out. Possibly a bit of purposeful misdirection? I settled on AN as the second word right away, then just saw AUDIENCE. The remaining DBLIU gave me BUILD . . . and the pun! Tim and Al are looking good, in Jeff’s cartoon. Be well and do goo, friends.) — YUR
PS. Congrats to North Carolina and Villanova on their big wins yesterday! They’re going on to the Big Game, Monday night. Should be a great game. — YUR
