Clue/Question:  She tried not eating for a few days to lose weight, but for her, it couldn’t – – –

Answer:  END FAST ENOUGH

(I wouldn’t call this a stinky bun . . . er pun.  And, not just because I’m a fan of burgers.  It’s a fairly literate pun.  Not eating – or fasting – is not really the same as “dieting”, but many people do do it in the hopes of losing weight.  It’s not really an efficient way to lose weight too, but that’s besides the point.

Hoyt has given us a break from new clue words today.  Ralis95 can go back to counting his money.  Three of today’s jumbles appear to be new, with “measu” having definitely been used before.  It took me a couple of looks to see “amuse”.  Funny, huh?  The answer letter layout was an impressive thirteen letter jumble.  Definitely nothing obvious about it, in my opinion.  The answer letter slots led me to the final answer.

Fine cartoon of a fast food joint.  Maybe Jeff is a big fan of “Pulp Fiction”?  I know I am.  Is there an actual burger joint name Big Kahuna, or was it just made up for the movie?  Hmm.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
