  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🥔 SILENCE OF THE YAMS? 🥔

    🎶I’m a LOSER…and I’m not what I appear to be…🎶…“I’m A Loser” – The Beatles 1964  https://tinyurl.com/yc6dpd6f

    🥔 He hardly gauged the DEPTH of it, the idea so ABSURD, 
    Whatever he was thinking…he def got wires blurred…
    With smudges on his APRON, he’s now trying to DREDGE,
    Excuses up ‘bout tater types…thinking he’s cutting edge
    Potatoes run an engine? With that tiny bit it fluttered?…
    Invention def a failure…The result? …It only “SPUDDERED”…🥔

    EYE think he’ll find that there’s really no apPEEL for this sort of thing…And I think YUKON find the solve to this one with your EYES closed…

    So…Today, the garage of Robert DeZERO…who’s invented an engine that unfortunately will never be a sMASHing success. Since while a POTATO can be used to create a simple battery, to try and run an engine? It’d take a FIELD of CREAMs…I mean dreams…Sure, some copper and zinc will cause a chemical reaction…but the reaction he’s getting here? From the SPUDS? Definitely nowhere near enough to FEED a car engine…So, while he FRIED his best…as his friend, doubting Thomas, https://tinyurl.com/45ctve3t the specTATER is saying…that sound? It just…”SPUDDERED” https://tinyurl.com/2bdj2nrr  …Akin to a VEGETATIVE state…And if Robert has any sense, he’ll TURN OVER a new leaf, and COPPER plea with this one…Look, AU GRATIN him the benefit of the doubt…but let’s face it, Folks…that CHIP has sailed ..and he’s surely not hot to TOT this THYME around…so he’ll definitely need to STARCH over…EYE just can’t ROOT for this one…And what we SAUTÉ day is merely a RECIPE for disaster…

    Jeff’s💎Gem? The Mr Potato Head license plate…And Robert’s hat…Kind of reminiscent of Jughead Jones…So apropos, no?…https://tinyurl.com/ys92yw4s …That Jeff…he’s such a CUT UP…

    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 with another of his half-BAKED ideas, entered a Potato Hiding contest, and swore he’d emerge victorious…We told him he was probably wasting his time, but he got BOILING mad and said, “FRY and stop me”…So he went ahead, and hid potatoes in his car…figuring his CARBO-HIDE-RATE would be great…But they were WEIGH too easily found…And to hear the judge say it? “EYE YAM not impressed”…I swear, just once you’d think we’d be able to POUND some sense into this guy…but so far we’re not even CHIPping the surface…🥔🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. AND OUT OF THE ARCHIVES…The puzzle of January 22nd, 2016… “He invented an engine for his car that ran on potatoes, but it just”…”SPUDDERED” …🔠🙋🏻‍♀️

  3. 🤦🏻‍♀️When they started in DEPTH to DREDGE up the old story about how he was tied to his Mother’s APRON strings, she SPUTTERED trying to speak about how ABSURD it all was…🤦🏻‍♀️

    🤦🏻‍♀️She tried to start an APRON line, the DEPTH though she misjudged,
    Poor planning from the get go now left her no room to budge…
    The others quick to DREDGE up how it was all so ABSURD,
    It seemed like not a one of them had even a kind word
    She tried hard to defend herself…but all that she could mutter…
    Just fell on many deaf ears…as she just stood there and SPUTTERED…🤦🏻‍♀️

  4. 🤷🏻‍♂️Trying new things is always a thrill,
    From start of time…and of course, still…
    Men think they can invent,
    Oft times time though ill spent…
    And it’s swallowing a bitter pill…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🍟 We see Robert today as he tries,
    For an engine suited for French Fries…
    Just ‘cause he had a thought, 
    The ending he sought?…
    Turned out to cut him down to size…🍟

    🙇🏻‍♂️His intention, yes may have been good,
    But let’s face it…once under that hood?…
    He could try as he might,
    But it’s a losing fight…
    There’s no way that this new engine could…🙇🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♂️…Run as one should, just using a spud,
    And he’s hearing ‘bout it from his Bud…
    Thomas does have his doubts,
    Can’t see the whereabouts…
    And he knows that his pal has a dud…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🥔Not a total loss though, I presume,
    Even though Rob’s idea didn’t bloom…
    He has taters for days,
    Can cook so many ways…
    He’ll be well fed…since there’ll be no vroom!…🥔

  6. The blind solve came just in time….right before I was going to unscramble. Thought awhile what the answer could be and voila !!!! came up with the SPUD connection. Your poetic weavings today were some of the best. Onward thru Easter Week. Thanks, Angela. Terry

  7. Good morning. Another easy Jumble today as I had the cartoon solution before working on the anagrams once again. Thank you for your post Angela. Have a great day, Stan

  8. Good morning. Another easy easy jumble this morning and the cartoon itself gave you the answer but I automatically wrote the letters down after getting the words so I can’t claim a blind solve. Enjoyed your post Angela as usual so with that said stay well until tomorrow. Take care.

  9. With the potatoes cooking, the car ‘sp-u-dering’ was an obvious blind solve of the cartoon. I did solve the anagrams but didn’t need their letters for the obvious cartoon solution. Chuck.

  10. it’s mid week and just a little hump Wednesday ! All the anagrams came and DREDGE took more thinking ! The jumble had me getting my mind jumper cables out and after thinking harder it SPUDDERED ! So I’m getting thirsty for tomorrow jumble ! And I agree with terry , that , Angela your poetic weavings were the best !! And as I’ve always said the Beatles are one of my best favorites and your song was a fit !! Have a “I got over the hump” Wednesday and bring on thirsty-Thursday !!!!

  11. The results can be a blow that’s so cruel

    Seems you’re engaged in an ongoing duel

    To get the engine to start

    A task you’ve taken to heart

    So. do not try to concoct a cheap fuel!

    • 🤷🏻‍♂️But can’t fault him for taking a shot, 
      Even though success would take a lot…
      He just gave it a go,
      ‘Cept little did he know…
      Those potatoes were not hot-to-trot…🤷🏻‍♂️

      🥔 So while Robert did give it his all,
      Sadly he finds he’s just dropped the ball…
      And the ‘root’ of his bane?
      …Taters just should remain…
      In a pot…not in a car installed!🥔
