Good Morning, Everyone 🌭🥤TAKING A BITE OUT OF HIS PROFITS🥤🌭
🎶Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer WEINER…🎶…”Oscar Meyer Weiner Commercial” (original recording) 1963 https://tinyurl.com/bddn6kce
🌭🥤Frank feels a little CRANKY, as he’s trying to discuss,
(Yes, I know we need DISCUS…but let’s not make a fuss)…
He’s def feeling the SHRINK today, with food prices so high,
And all he can do right now is take the deal and sigh…
He’ll probably need charge extra…more APIECE for every snack,
(And OBLONG comes up short today…if I’m to keep on track)…
Frank’s living comes from the “Red Hots”, the EMBLEMs on his cap,
And soda goes along with them…so he don’t need this flap…
A bitter pill to swallow…it’s an economic lesson…
But bite the bullet Frank must do…he’s forced to MAKE CONCESSIONS…🥤🌭
MUSTARD always be this way? The little guy just trying to KETCHUP, and being forced to conSEED…Can’t blame Frank for looking so down in the MOUTH…Guess there’s no RELISHing the moment today…
So…Today..The front office of Robert DINERO, where we hear him reading the BUY IT act to our vendor, FRANK FUTER, giving him a BUN for his money, so to speak. And Frank’s probably thinking, “Jeez…what a HOT DOG this guy is…He’s so full of BOLOGNA…Ticket SALES through the roof, and he’s offering me a contract for half what I’m asking? I never SAUSAGE greed….It’s all a CON…DIMENT to hurt me, IMO…And of COURT I’m going to feel SAUER…for KRAUT out loud…I never expected such a CHILI reception”…But he has to make a living, so he’ll need to BITE the bullet…and settle (CONCEDE) for so much less BREAD…He definitely needs the CONCESSION…STANDs to reason he’s upset…but what can he do? He’ll just have to ROLL with the punches for now, since it’s his BUN and only way to SCORE any DOUGH, and wait out the SEASON…COLA?* Nope…not now. WURST case scenario? Probably…Let’s just hope at season’s end it won’t be the last STRAW…And that the new contract won’t have any BINDERs…Anyway…the bottom line here today? Frank had no CHOICE…MEAT Dinero’s terms…and EAT the loss…He’ll need to…MAKE CONCESSIONS… https://tinyurl.com/2s3fzarv …And even though Frank didn’t come out a WEINER today…we surely did…This solve was so easy, breezy…we’ll RELISH it for days to come…
Jeff’s💎Gems? The Basketball court in the background and Dinero’s desktop designed to look the same. And there’s the Hot Dog logo on Frank’s cap, matching the one on the box at his feet…The only thing I’m a little SHORT CHANGED on is the patch on his shirt…maybe my eyes are getting WURST…but I just can’t WRAP my head around it…
So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend, who swore he can eat a foot-long in only TWO BITES…But knowing him…being one of the WURST liars around…I took it with a grain of SALT…Sounds a little HARD TO SWALLOW if you ask me…🌭🥤🙋🏻♀️

…AND OUT OF THE ARCHIVES…The puzzle of February 24th, 2013…”If he wanted to get a new contract to sell sodas and hotdogs at stadium, he would need to”…MAKE CONCESSIONS…🔠🙋🏻♀️
🤷🏻♀️The CRANKY group, given 10 minutes APIECE to decide on the EMBLEM for the oddly-shaped OBLONG DISCUS, realized they’d need to MAKE CONCESSIONS…and not willing to…the size of the group began to SHRINK, one by one…🤷🏻♀️
🤦🏻♀️They sat ‘round the OBLONG table…had one DISCUS APIECE,
An EMBLEM lie on SHRINK wrap…it all was within reach…
The object was to get along, not be CRANKY or terse,
And things did start off fine…but then somehow went in reverse
The teacher tried her best…she so hoped they would grasp the lessons…
But soon realized there’d be a need for them to MAKE CONCESSIONS…🤦🏻♀️

🤷🏻♂️So it’s all about paying our bills,
Even forgoing most of the frills…
We just want to earn,
So a stomach can churn…
If one’s being run through that old mill…🤷🏻♂️
🤦🏻♂️To be offered a quite paltry sum,
For a job that is always well done…
Can def bother a sort,
To come up so much short…
And you feel like it’s nothing but crumbs…🤦🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️And today we see Frank dealing with,
A discussion calling for true grit…
A bad “taste” in his mouth,
But he’s not one to shout…
So he sits and “digests” all the pith…🤷🏻♂️
🤦🏻♂️Frank’s in need of the job, that’s for sure,
But he’s feeling he should be paid more…
Being asked to take half,
Hardly reason to laugh…
Who can blame him if he’s feeling sore…🤦🏻♂️
🌭🥤But Frank’s taking the deal as it “stands”,
‘Cause he needs to have money at hand…
Here’s to hoping next time,
His earnings will climb…
And that Dinero “meats” his demands!🥤🌭
Today is NATIONAL TURKEY NECK SOUP DAY…Yes, please…🦃🍵🙋🏻♀️ https://tinyurl.com/yc4u23j2
I didn’t come up with anything for starters, so I gave to Marsha and she made the solve in a jiffy…Way to go. I finished up by unscrambling words, which was pretty easy. You wove a very intricate story arc this morning, Angela…Way to go, too. Enjoy your Sunday. Look forward to the Junior Jumble. Thanks. Terry
Tks, Terry …And yes, I was on a ROLL there, wasn’t I?..🌭🙋🏻♀️
Good morning, a quick solve of the Jumble. Even the obvious multi lettered cartoon. Being Sunday, looking forward to the Sunday’s Kids Jumble.Couid you post it for us ‘kids’ ? Thanks, Chuck.
There you go, Professor…YW.🙋🏻♀️
Today’s JUMBLE FOR KIDS….NYEOJ! 🔠👧🏻👦🏻🙋🏻♀️ https://tinyurl.com/knfjuf56
Thanks, you’re the best! Chuck.
YVW, Professor…And thank you. 🙋🏻♀️
Not your usual Sunday Jumble, as it was very easy. Not a blind solve, but the first word was likely MAKE, and all the S’s made session a good start to the second word.
👍🏻🌭🙋🏻♀️
Easy Sunday Jumble for me which doesn’t happen every week. Angela, I got out my trusty magnifying glass and I think the patch on his shirt has a dollar sign with the number 8 next to it. Have a great Sunday. Thanks, Stan
Stan…That’s exactly what it looks like to me too….”$8-“ 🌭🙋🏻♀️
Well. I’ll do my best to flog
But I won’t make much on each dog
I’ll make no pretenses
Barely cover my expenses
This concession will be a hard slog!
Helen
🤦🏻♂️It surely won’t be my best Season,
With the cost of food going ‘yond reason,
At home I’ve mouths to feed,
So with me it’s not greed…
Not providing? It’s akin to treason…🤦🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️But I’ll carry on as I must do,
Meeting fans demands all Season through…
But I’ll still need that raise,
Come the end Season’s days…
Or I just may be saying …”Adieu”…🤷🏻♂️
No issues with any Jumbles this week. I fell into “discus” writing down “discuss” then seeing the answer when I didn’t have the third ‘s’. I never thought about why the food venues at sports venues are called “concession stands.” Looked it up and have learned something today. Rarely go to pro sports games as the concession prices are absurd. ‘Concessions’ to the consumer are in order.
And if one goes with a family? One can CHOKE on those food prices! 🌭🙋🏻♀️
Good morning. Like most, for a Sunday today was pretty easy from the words to the cartoon answer. It was no blind solve but done in quick order. A big smile on my face today Angela with your song choice. Always nice to view everyone’s comments. Until tomorrow take care.
Good Afternoon, Paul. Tk you… Always love giving you a smile…Take care. 🌭🙋🏻♀️
you hit a home run!
God speed, Richard Chamberlain. RIP 🙏🏻
Amazing, I got all the solves right and quickly,! The meaning of the deal making came through quickly.
