Figuring out the theme did help a lot. I'm usually not one for anagrams, but these made sense to me. I Thought it was easier than the Tuesday puzzle.<br /><br />Thanks MB for an informative writeup. I didn't know about the Gall Bladder and the information on Aesop was new to me. <br /><br />Tapirs are strange looking animals and quite large. I've never seen one with stripes such as you pictured today. The ones we had in Colombia were all one color--grey-black.<br /><br />I loved watching Sgt. Bilko on TV. So funny.<br /><br />Jibe in my little OLD dictionary was a variation for Jib, (the sail). I see that Jayce used Jibe in that sense today. <br /><br />How many have seen the Downston Abbey previews? I saw them today and heard on the news that it is one of Michelle Obama's favorite programs. She asked for a disk of the new season and they sent it to her. The rest of us will have to wait until January!<br /><br />Have a great evening everyoneChickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-52147915205058204982012-11-14T18:54:26.995-06:002012-11-14T18:54:26.995-06:00Have you ever heard of Max Raabe?

Our youngest daughter is a reference librarian at a southern university, and loves librarian jokes. Her favorite T-shirt features a cartoon of a very fuss-looking library lady with finger to her lips with the word “SSSHHHHH!” in huge letters. At the first annual conference she attended, her team won the Book Cart Drill Team competition performing to “le Danse Macabre” dressed in skeleton outfits. (Ya can’t make this stuff up!)<br /><br />Thought the theme was especially clever, although it took me a while to unscramble ARMS for RAMS. But when I saw BEARS/BARES I got a mental picture of a bunch of nekkid football players – and it was all aboard the DF train with LOINS, CRAMS, EAT ME and so on. Not a good direction to go when you solve the puzzle on your morning bus commute – the other riders start to look at you funny when you get the giggles at 7:00 AM.<br /><br />Thanks for the cat cartoon, Mari, it’s too true.<br /><br />Seen, I’m going to be up all night trying to figure how to scramble Cincinnati BENGALS to fit your clue. Maybe by the time I post this someone will have sussed it. (It was way more fun being a Reds fan this year than a Bengals fan, at least so far.)<br /><br />Hahtoolah, I always look forward to your Quote of the Day, but today’s particularly hit the right note for me. Like I would tell my daughters “Time to put on your Big Girl panties and deal with it!”<br /><br />Have a great night all!Java Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03262932524822014846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-85506009934594600312012-11-14T18:37:18.611-06:002012-11-14T18:37:18.611-06:00PedantThe Brit, mea culpa.

Just look! <br /><br />As a massage therapist you COAT your clients w/oil that doesn’t REEK, probably not sold by AVON, but maybe, if the supplies are LATE. You may have him/her GET SET on a DAY BED, where ‘dah’ BARES ARMS SEEM to be at WAR(s) with each other, all WRESTled up into knots. You DELVE into the sore muscles like a wRAPSTAR, wrapping your COMPetent, tRAINed hands around them, rubbing, massaging, TAPIRing down to the smaller pARTS of the body, (avoiding the LOINS and an ensuing RIOT) and taking the aches away mercifully. You work magic! The women and MEN U help are WOW’d and swear by your talents, even bragging that you are gentle and didn’t even POK”ER. They may come in with TEARS but they leave smiling and without RISK of going INSANE b/c of chronic pain. You rock in EPIC proportions! AMEN!!! <br /><br />It's all good. <br /><br />loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331538822790190512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-78089991752590028932012-11-14T17:27:58.754-06:002012-11-14T17:27:58.754-06:00Re: @Yellowrocks (last night) - I'm sorry, I w...Re: @Yellowrocks (last night) - I'm sorry, I wasn't criticizing Anony-Mouse (with a hyphen), who I know is a valued blog contributor.
