Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well…
💧WATER YOU KNOW…WE GOTTA ODOR THIS PERFUME! 💧
🎶 Must be MY PERFUME, my perfume, my perfume…That’s what they like…My perfume, my perfume, my perfume..That’s what they like…🎶 “Perfume” – Parade 2011 https://tinyurl.com/mspd42s7
💧Cosmo Kramer was a quirky dude, he guaranteed a laugh,
A CUSTOM here and there of his…quite often just a gaffe…
And oft times like a dog with bones he just wouldn’t RELENT,
When a thought popped into his mind…on missions he was sent…
Most if not all times he was STUNG, he’d grunt and he would CROAK,
The speech patterns of Kramer? Not the way the others spoke…
And here today we’re seeing him hoping there’ll be assent…
For Nil, the fragrance he’s devised…but Nil doesn’t MAKE “SCENTS”!💧
The show Seinfeld https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinfeld aired in prime time from 1989 to 1998…and it was always MUSK see TV…Touted as “the show about nothing” = NIL, it really had a lot of “something”…and being a scripted sitcom, the story lines carried through from episode to episode. One of the four main characters was Cosmo Kramer, https://tinyurl.com/2kec5c8k (brilliantly played by Michael Richards)…a man who always had a NOSE for a new gimmick. And today, in our puzzle, we reach back to 1992, and in a parody of the Seinfeld episodes, find Kramer, in what would be the offices of Calvin Klein, pitching his fragrance, dubbed “The Beach”. https://tinyurl.com/4uczfmvj Unfortunately though, Kramer FELL short on this idea too…
But today, the cologne in question doesn’t smell like the beach…it “smells like NOTHING”! …It’s called NIL…And note the bottles of H20 on the counter…it’s just water…But Kramer feels he’s SNIFFED out a winner, and just his bottle alone, marked with the 🚫will SCENT people running out to buy it! Unfortunately though, as art’s imitating art…the perfume cheMIST, who NOSE her business. and the company exec are hardly inKLEINed to agree…And as far as they’re concerned…it just doesn’t MAKE “SCENTS”… https://tinyurl.com/2s3m5bnf …And Kramer, once again, gets the short SCENT of the stick…
And as for the fragrance bottles at back, I recognize the first at left as CK’s Euphoria, the second may be CK Be, but I can’t MAKE SCENTS of the last two…And ironically, Calvin Klein has a fragrance called CK One Summer…with an ocean breeze scent…
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle brought to mind an article I reSCENTly read..Seems a thief was arrested for stealing cases of perfume…He was held in FRAGRANT violation of the law…💧🙋🏻♀️

UTNSG – New anagram
KAORC – New anagram
NEELRT – New anagram
MOSTUC – New anagram
🤷🏻♀️For the teen It became a CUSTOM to say that he’d CROAK, which STUNG his Mom each time she heard it…and telling him it didn’t MAKE SENSE, she hoped he’d RELENT….🤷🏻♀️
🤦🏻♂️He’d been STUNG by a bee, heard a CROAK from a big frog,
He read about the CUSTOM of a fruit fly on a blog…
He wished the teacher would RELENT…it all just made him tense…
As far as he was concerned….Nature just didn’t MAKE SENSE…🤦🏻♂️
😂Cosmo Kramer was definitely a card,
Made you laugh with no need to try hard…
He’d just enter a room,
Sweep in…kin to a broom…
And he’d catch you quite often off guard…😂
🗣️Played the part to a comical hilt,
We watched Kramer oft times go on tilt…
He’d make peculiar sounds,
Jump ‘round in leaps and bounds…
And the man hardly ever felt guilt…🗣️
🤷🏻♂️For five years only Kramer his name,
By that time he’d cemented his fame…
Then one night we were told,
In a story unfold…
It was Cosmo his first name to claim…🤷🏻♂️
🤦🏻♂️As a neighbor he drove Jerry nuts,
Always quick with the ifs ands or buts…
He had the strangest ways,
Always seemed in a daze…
And he definitely came off as a klutz…🤦🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️But his perfume idea…it was good,
And a millionaire he probably would…
Have become with the scent,
But another dream went…
Floating off like a beach’s driftwood…🤷🏻♂️
In the game of golf, when you get an extra free try at a shot, it’s called a MULLIGAN. Today, that’s what I needed for today’s puzzle. Thinking completely wrong out of the starting gates, I took a quick look at the cartoon, and somehow came up with PASS MUSTER, because it just sounded right. So I glommed onto that phrase, without even trying out the perfume angle…..ala SCENTS, and that was my downfall. Since there are no second chances, I’ll await Taco Tuesday. And yes, today will be a blind solve for many…it couldn’t have been an easier Monday. Enjoy your day, Angela !!
Tk you, Terry. You too. 💧🙋🏻♀️
Now this is what I’m talking about ! Hello great start of the week Monday jumbles ! I love where it starts off so nicely , like todays ! The anagrams were so CUSTOM ! But I almost got STUNG on one word , which I didn’t RELENT on , but I looked at the letters and the word was completely backwards of all the letters and I thought that no anagrams were ever like that , but i did think it was CROAK ! And it was ! First time I saw all the letters backwards completely ! I was shaking my head ! But the jumble that has any perfume with no smell gave me the solve with the letters that MAKE SCENTS ! Very fun and entertaining ! Love to start the week off like this ! Everyone have a great sweet smelling day !!!!!!!
Good morning. No blind solve but being (thank goodness) a typical Monday I was able to get both parts with very little trouble. Loved your song video Angela and your posts. Until tomorrow take care.
Good Morning, Paul. Tk you…glad you enjoyed it all. Be well and stay safe out there…💧🙋🏻♀️
Originally thinking the first cartoon answer was ‘seek’ but then seeing scents as the second word solved all. We had a severe thunder storm w high winds last night and a power outage, but things seem ok this morning.
I thought the first word might be seem but used up too many vowels so at second glance came up with scents so that made sense. Happy Monday all!
LOL! Yes, it did! 💧🙋🏻♀️
