Good Morning, Everyone! šPIGSKINā¦AND THE THIN SKIN?š
š¶ Many a TEAR has to fallā¦ but itās all IN THE GAMEā¦š¶ āIn The Gameā – Tommy Edwards 1958 https://tinyurl.com/u7nups
š The teams they have their rankings, oddsmakers did their thing,
A game goes off with fans feeling their team a win will bringā¦
Thereās trash talk goes on, some quite BLUNT, fans all get in their jabs,
And #1 teams SPELL it outā¦āThis gameās not up for grabsāā¦
So yes, it may be UNJUST, or PURELY lack of luck,
When that team whoās ranked #1 nowās left to pass the buck
All eggs were in one basket, and yet they no way did getā¦
The win that looked the sure-shotā¦Fans? UPSET BY THE UPSET! š
So, our words. Theyāve all been in PLAY before, but we do have three new anagrams. The old timer? SLEPL, RUNNING from BACK in 2017. ā¦.And except for an Early Bird first seeing Sleepā¦before he rubbed it out of his eyesā¦it was all a WIN. And the solve? As a sports fan? Iād say there was no reason to get UPSET at allā¦
Okā¦Letās KICK this offā¦Seen leaving the big game, we find our State fans forlorn and fugazied.** Thinking they had it in the bag, theyāre totally in shock having witnessed their team lose to the underdog Jumblers. And by a score of 28-27! Could it be any more of an insultā¦having the lowly guest team pull it off by one point? Hardly. These fans are so not used to losingā¦And the tip on the top of that number 1 definitely stings! No one expected an UPSET https://tinyurl.com/4xsjmtdu like thisā¦ So suffice to sayā¦The State fans are UPSETā¦UPSET BY THE UPSET!
Jeffās Gems? For one, there IS crying in Football. Thereās crying in every kind of ballā¦we just try to deny it. But our girl, in her State jersey, with her football earrings dangling, is doing her part to live up to the truth. Her partner? Heās taking a PASS on the nightās activities. The two men at leftā¦Totally dejected. And the Big Kahuna, flip-flop footed, bare-chested, logo-etched and holding whatās now proven to be his fickle finger of fate foam tribute? Well heās feeling as small as the āSā logo on his shortsā¦I wonder how much he may have bet? Probably lost his shirt! https://tinyurl.com/fysntp5d And the sole Jumbler fanā¦off to the right, decked out in his āJā jersey and shorts, triumphantly talking that aforementioned trash? Speaks for itself, doesnāt itā¦But you know what caught my eye? If you look real, real closelyā¦alone out on the fieldā¦Could that be the dejected Quarterback, head bowed, licking his wounds? Might beā¦I guess the YARDS just werenāt in his favorā¦
Soā¦There you have it Folksā¦Done! GO LONG, I mean so longā¦Have a good one. Be well, stay safeā¦and keep in mindā¦If you are going to put all your eggs in that one basket? ..Make sure you’re hard-boiled enough to deal with whatever the END result is cracked up to beā¦ššš»āāļø
š¤·š»āāļøļ»æHe knew they were UPSET BY THE UPSET, and he didnāt mean to seem UNJUST, but he had to be BLUNT and SPELL it out for them, since he felt that they had acted PURELY out of greedā¦š¤·š»āāļø
š¤¦š»āāļøHe knew that it was PURELY a result of her raw nerves,
She held the BLUNT side of the knife where it could surely swerveā¦
But as if she were in a SPELL, she cut herself real deep,
And yes, it seemed UNJUST, but now this dinner couldnāt keepā¦
He told her she could come back, but for now with deep regretā¦
Sheād have to go ā¦and they both were UPSET BY THE UPSET!š¤¦š»āāļø
PURELY, I donāt think Iāve ever used that word , let alone SPELL it ! To be BLUNT , it was so UNJUST ! No not really, Iām not UPSET , I just wanted to use the words in a sentence because š¶ We are the champions my friend šµ, and weāll keep on fighting till the end š¶ Have a good ā Hump – Day ā on way to the weekend !!!!!
Wishing you a good day too, Jim. Enjoy! ššš»āāļø
Astro’s Fans are UPSET BY the UPSET last night. To be BLUNT, it was PURELY a case of the Braves having them under their SPELL. Another loss tonight would be quite UNJUST.
Spoken as a true Astroās fan! Have a good one, Brad! ā¾ļøšš»āāļø
Just one of those days…..3 outta 4 for the anagrams and puzzle NOT solved. Had to look up PURELY. Will slink off to the corner after today’s lackluster performance. At least it’s raining in central Texas, so I got that goin’ for me !!! Great song choice
Youāre not alone, Terryā¦I think itās raining all overā¦Tks for the Shout Outā¦And hereās looking to tomorrowā¦another day, another Jumble! ššš»āāļø
Good morning. Another good day with jumble. No problem with the words or cartoon answer but not a blind solve. Thanks Angela for the great song, it transported me back in time to fine memories. Itās amazing how certain songs can do that. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.
Good Morning, Brooklynā¦YWā¦I knew youād enjoy itā¦And how great that music does this for us? Weād be lost without musicā¦Hoping youāre well and safe tooā¦And hereās hoping weāve seen the last of this crazy weather! Have a good one, Paulā¦ššš»āāļø
Crafty cartoon this morning brought a smile to my face. The fans being Upset By the Upset are Purely focused on the Blunt, but not Unjust, outcome that will Spell doom for their season. My song choice is “You Gotta Be a Football Hero” to get along with the beautiful girls! Not much football heroics on the Great Plains of Nebraska again but hope springs eternal. Lots of rain but not a Nor’easter. We just have tornadoes, blizzards, dust storms and floods. OK, now I am as bummed as those State fans. Go team, go!
Hope springs eternalā¦A NY sports fanās mantra! š¤¦š»āāļø And I enjoyed todayās cartoon tooā¦itās definitely a keeper. Enjoy your day, OOā¦And stay safe out there! ššš»āāļø
They’re known as a fair weather fan
They were there when the wins began
But they sulk and they frown
When the team lets them down
‘Cause defeat is not part of their plan!
Hi Helenā¦Hope you have a great day! šš»āāļø
šWhile confidence carries great weight,
Itās the cockiness up for debateā¦
Just because youāre the best,
You canāt discount the restā¦.
And just figure that youāll always skate! š
š #1 is a most cherished spot,
It feels good to be top of the lotā¦
But you canāt drop the ball,
For the mighty do fallā¦
And your perfect record? Easily shotā¦š
š They went into the game feeling smug,
Thoughts of losing? Addressed with a shrugā¦
But the underdog came,
And went home with the gameā¦
That bravado? Its own hole it dug! š
Good limericks Angela. A brilliantly sunny day her after a lot of rain so gardens are still blooming.
Tk you, Helen. Weāre seeing a bit of sunā¦but it may be short-livedā¦š¤·š»āāļø
Hi Everyone – I was having trouble trying Up as the two-letter word. Once I found By, it all came together, though I still had to back into Purely. Perfect song choice, Angela. Love the oldies.
Good Morning, Caroline. Thank youā¦Hereās to a great day! ššš»āāļø
Anagrams came rather quickly,even purely,but I was surprised by the repeat use of the same word,upset,in the cartoon solution.I was also disappointed by the Astro loss least night,Hard to believe the lead off HR,was the first ever in a game 1 of a WS.
But a pleasant surprise, right Professor? Definitely a witty solve! Enjoy your day, Prof. Be well and stay safe out thereā¦ššš»āāļø
When I saw a bunch of U’s in the anagrams, I felt an upset could happen; and I was right, not only once, but twice. Love it when the guys use a word multiple times in the solution as they did today. Regards from South Georgia, and Go Braves and #1 Georgia Dawgs!!!
āUā got that right, Alan! A great solve! Have a good oneā¦ššš»āāļø
How can I be UPSET BY my quick blind solve! A very good answer to a loss. Congrats to the one who came up with it.
Finally a nice sunny day although a bit coolā¦ Canāt complain, after all itās the end of October!
As a Yankee fan from 1950, Iām certainly not UPSET by Houstonās lost! Tāwas PURELY a joy to watch!
Christian
Good Morning, Christian..David never ceases to amaze me, itās a great answer! Enjoy the sunshineā¦weāre still waiting for some down hereā¦Take care, Christianā¦and have a great day! ššš»āāļø
Good puzzle this morning. Second day in a row where I misplaced letters initially seeing spell as sleep. Figured out that ābyā would be the two letter word which left me with upset and āupletāā Once I straightened that out, all was A-Okay. No matter the outcome of any game, one group of fans is always upset. Hope all of you have a good day and that you East Coasters are weathering the storms without damage.
Hi Bettyā¦And for the second day in a row youāve seen the same exact thing as my friendā¦He thought awaken yāday, and sleep todayā¦Hmm..š And yes, thereās no way we all win in sportsā¦although some of us are much more gracious in losing! Weāve had a lot more practice! š Things are quieting down here, thank youā¦but as we spoke about yādayā¦ātheyāreā already talking about the next storm that’s loomingā¦You just canāt WIN! Have a good one, Betty. Be well, and stay safeā¦š¦ššš»āāļø
