I also had never heard the word 'tippler', but I got BARTAB from the fills, as well. Those, and the fact that I misread 'prosperous' as 'preposterous', slowed me down a bit.<BR/><BR/>@Barry G., Thanks for the 'Urban Legend' link.<BR/><BR/>@DoesItinInk, Thanks for the Wendy and Lucy review. Is Roger Ebert still hospital-bound?<BR/><BR/>@ C.C., I suspect that " Job's Tears" is related to the biblical Job. I am no expert, but I do recall hearing about Job being tested by God. God allowed Satan to cause Job insurmountable pain and grief, basically robbing him of everything he held dear. Wikipedia says, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job#Messianic_anticipation_in_the_book" REL="nofollow">"Job ... declares, “my eyes pour out tears to God, that he would maintain the right of a man with God”.</A><BR/>Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong on this.Auntie Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676091081670473598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-54503328867674883212009-02-06T13:40:00.000-06:002009-02-06T13:40:00.000-06:00LOVE your blogspot!!

(Though a more direct link to ALL the answers would be helpful.)<BR/> <BR/>Read some of the comments today, and although I think we are getting the puzzle a day late up here in British Columbia, I thought you might appreciate a website I found on Scottish words.
