    • Good Morning, Everyone…🎳 PIN IT…TO WIN IT 🎳

      🎶 Come on Baby let the good times ROLL…Come on Baby let me thrill your soul…Come on Baby let the good times ROLL…ROLL all night long.…🎶 “Let The Good Times Roll” – Shirley and Lee 1956 http://tinyurl.com/uu6mjzv2

      🎳The night BEGAN a little off, the Falcons blew the game,
      Their ROOKIE player jittery…had trouble with his aim…
      But our men in their KHAKI shirts would not admit defeat,
      Determined to rewrite the SCRIPT…the Vaders they would beat…
      The false hope that they’d given them…that skill is what they lack?
      Will now be proven bogus…as we see them STRIKING BACK!🎳

      So…Today we get the BALL ROLLING with a WAR between the two STAR teams of the “Jumble Bowling League”. No…it doesn’t say that anywhere, but c’mon, let’s be honest, it’s a SPARE day in June when we don’t see some kind of reference to the Jumble franchise, right? And I must admit I’m a little surprised that Jeff didn’t STRIKE here while the iron was hot….Oh, wait…maybe I should save that one for a golf puzzle…Just where is my FRAME of mind today?

      Anyway…Time to PIN this one down…As we can see, the ”Millennium Falcons” after losing the first game to the “Darth Vaders”, are determined not to STRIKE out again…and are going for the SPLIT decision…And if the Vaders thought they’d BADGER the Falcons, labelling them a bunch of TURKEYS, who’d go down without a fight, it’s obvious now they were GUTTERly wrong…Because from what we can see? The STRIKE being thrown, and the dialogue giving us…”a warmup”?…They’re getting even…They’re STRIKING BACKhttp://tinyurl.com/2mr8mu5r

      Jeff’s Gems? The Millennium Falcon image on our bowler’s shirt is definitely STRIKING…and if you look closely, you can see a tiny image of Darth Vader on the sleeve of that Vader player with the PINcredulous look on his face. And in lane #3, a sole pin remains standing…I was thinking to elaborate on it, but on this one I think I’ll stay so quiet you can hear a PIN DROP….And lastly, the “wrong direction” comment? STRIKING a chord for the Mandalorian? IDK…That one’s still UP IN THE AIR…

      So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminded me of my friend who got a job at a bowling alley. “Ten pin”? I asked. “No…he said, permanent”…It didn’t STRIKE me as very funny….🎳🙋🏻‍♀️

    • 🧥The ROOKIE designer thought of STRIKING BACK when they BEGAN to criticize his KHAKI line, but decided to take the high road and not follow the SCRIPT…🧥

      🏐The ROOKIE, all excited, couldn’t wait to start the game,
      His KHAKI uniform looked great, he’s dreaming dreams of fame…
      He BEGAN to get nervous though, and hoped within the SCRIPT,
      There wasn’t any thing written where he’d be ill-equipped
      The last thing that he wanted was to be labeled a hack…
      So whatever’s coming his way? He’ll def be STRIKING BACK!⚾️

    • 🎳 So they’re meeting tonight for a match,
      And hoping of course to attach,
      Their names to the rolls,
      Of great ones who’ve bowled…
      And a trophy they’re hoping to catch…🎳

      🛰️ In a league with all men who are fond,
      Of Star Wars…and what went beyond…
      They’ve chosen their names,
      From the franchise’s fame…
      All in fun…and it does correspond…🛰️

      🤷🏻‍♂️So the Flacons were knocked down a peg,
      In the opening game, the first leg…
      But they took it in stride,
      Vowing not be denied…
      And no way would this team cry renege…🤷🏻‍♂️

      👍🏻They had sworn to each other they’d win,
      So despite that first game with its spin…
      The would just shrug it off…
      And the Vaders who scoffed?
      Would be taking it all on the chin…👍🏻

      🎳 So the lesson that we learn today,
      Is don’t make a small loss block your way…
      Just stand firm with your skill,
      Then go in for the kill…
      With your prowess well put on display…🎳


  2. welcome thirsty-Thursday ! I had a strike on this one ! The anagrams BEGAN with the right SCRIPT ! And I wore my KHAKI shirt ! And today , I did not feel like a ROOKIE ! Now the jumble came right down the lane ! And STRIKING BACK won ! This one quenched my thirst ! Very descriptive of the cartoon Angela and funny and punny bowling joke ! And I have to say , that before I saw the jumble to post this comment , I watched an Andy Griffith show , season 8 and episode 2 , about Howard Sprague joining the Mayberry bowling team , and bowled a perfect game 8 strike outs in a row ! And how ironic is that for me to see this jumble about bowling too ! It was so cool ! Everyone have a good thirsty-Thursday !!!!!!!!


  3. I took a quick look at the Jumble, saw it was about bowling, saw the giant X on the score screen…then didn’t read the dialogue. Therefore, figured first word was STRIKING, but didn’t guess the second word because of lack of context/information about the puzzle. Anyway, unscrambled anagrams for a quick finish. About your finishing pun…TEN PIN ?? we’re puzzled by that one !! Have a great Thirsty Thursday. Terry


  4. Good morning. No blind solve but both parts were done in quick fashion. Loved your song choice Angela, a little perplexed on your attempt at humor. But then again I have a hard time grasping most jokes. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Tk you. The humor though.…it may not be you. Is it the same thing Terry questioned? Ten Pin? The definition relating to bowling is below, and it was a pun on “Temping” as I told Terry. My friend wasn’t “temping”, he was hired as a permanent employee…But if it’s not that…please let me know what is. Take care. 🎳🙋🏻‍♀️

      • The first three letters of temporary are TEMP so that’s what he must of been referring to. But you’re right Angela, if you have to think hard to figure out the pun, it wasn’t very good.


  5. As a former avid bowler, it was a fun jumble with an obvious blind solve of the cartoon after a clean sweep of the anagrams. Happy Thursday to one and all! Chuck.
