Made stupid mistakes and ended up cheating. WHITSUNDAY, UHURA, LISTEN were gimmes.<br /><br />I am really late to the party today. Not much sleep last night. Swam as fast as possible after Time-Warner repairman left. (Need to finish before helper leaves.) Then had a nap interrupted by beaucoup telemarketers. (Yes, I'm on the no-call list.) Then had to help a friend who wanted notes on the Euclidean Algorithm for his class tomorrow. Then Harv showed up really worn out and angry. But, will get fed shortly!<br /><br />I kinda liked <i>Salt</i>.<br /><br />Cheers!fermatprimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391014624435192426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-75637619067378403022013-04-26T00:00:39.819-05:002013-04-26T00:00:39.819-05:00Was Uhura one of the Heaven's Gate cult that k...Was Uhura one of the Heaven's Gate cult that killed themselves to hitch a ride on Halley's comet?

Probably just carried it lovingly in and let go over the hole before it knew what hit it. It was a half-grown kitten. But these boys wouldn't be deterred by a little blood. Their dad was a huge cop and he was raising them tough.<br /><br />As for the cat on the rumba, did you notice how its tail enhanced the cleaning ability of the machine? Quite a duster.

Ha...Hi Y'all! Great puzzle! Great expo, Marti!<br /><br />Happy birthday, Kazie!<br /><br />WEES. Hands up for NEA/WPA confusion. I didn't think of WPA as doing murals despite having stood before the painting in Wichita. In my home county where I did a lot of historical research/published articles, WPA was very active building many native limestone edifices: a football stadium, bridges, well housings. These still stand today.<br /><br />I had trouble with the bottom two theme endings. ITEM? Put in TOOTSIE ROLLolly since POP is short for lollyPOP. Heard "lolly" used a lot as a candy in British novels. STYLE had to come from perps for WARHOL, but not easily. Mucho red-letters.<br /><br />SATORI POPped into my head with no thought. Does this mean I'm finally on my way to Nirvana? I hope! I hope!<br /><br />Hands up for not knowing Whitsunday.

'What' Sunday? Thank you, Lucina. Being a crib catholic I've never heard 'WHIT' used that way. Only as "I don't give a WHIT." I too wanted YUMA, Barry,like Johnny Yuma...but oh well. Marti, loved the links, esp Sundance. Excellent job. I need to go back to helping<br />5th graders so I can feel smart again...ok, 3rd graders.<br /><br />Dennis: I really like your new picture. Very handsome couple. Love the image of you as an altar boy ringing somebody's chimes! <br /><br />Santa Baby: I really like your new picture too. I've seen that pose before tho'. I'm pretty sure it was just before you came in my chimney last Cmas Eve. What I'd give for some ESP. You are adorable.<br /><br />Bill G: I loved the Animal Tracks. LOL with the last two slides. More often than not, my men resemble #23 then #22 at any given time. Probably b/c I resemble the red squirrel/nut job #20. What I said was.. I need a man-cure. What I got was slide 20.. nails like talons. Some people just read too much into things. It's all good. <br /><br />Happy Birthday, Kazie. I LOVE that picture of you and your husband. And yes, he does loook like Hemingway. Adorable of both of you. Wish you many more happy birthdays. <br /><br />Enjoy your evening.loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331538822790190512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-16112965870034670592013-04-25T16:31:48.854-05:002013-04-25T16:31:48.854-05:00Thank you, kazie.Thank you, kazie.Jaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906163232315177399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-13099549962803928212013-04-25T16:21:47.851-05:002013-04-25T16:21:47.851-05:00Jayce,

It's a lament about all the cute succinct words in other languages for that, but says German has none. However, I know they use "Schwanz" that way, which can also mean "tail" in polite circles.
