So…Today…An outdoor cafe, where we meet Clark FABLE, the man who loves telling STORIES about himself, and his date for the evening, the poor, beleaguered, BORED out of her mind, ANN WE. And Ann is stunned to think that there’s any way Clark believes that he’s the kind of CHAP TER woman could fall for.

And Jeff’s💎Gem? Ann saying with “EVERYONE” …ID was BOAST beneficial to the solve…
So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my two friends, egoists both, who never seem to agree on anything, and deserve whether angst they give one another…Classic case of an I for an I…🗣️🙋🏻♀️

😷It was definitely a case of THE AYES HAVE IT, when the group became very VOCAL about sinking their TEETH into the game…but when things heated up during the 9th INNING, the FEWEST sounds of the night were heard…😷
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♂️The rain was falling harder now, and some had grit their TEETH, More than FEWEST getting VOCAL…gone was time to be discreet The INNING, number seven…down two outs and need a hit… …If not they’ll all be leaving…because, yes…THE AYES HAVE IT…🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♀️

🤷🏻♀️Thinking…”God, let this come to an end, How much longer will my ear he bend?… Loves the sound of his voice, And can I make the choice… Of leaving…maybe phone a friend”?…🤷🏻♀️
👎🏻 And tonight we see Ann have her fill, As Clark’s sitting going through his drill… So enamored is he, With the “I” …not the we… And it’s just giving her the big chill…👎🏻
🤦🏻♀️Ten to one there’ll be no second date, Men like Clark? There’s no way to relate… Here’s to sitting it out, Trying hard not to pout… While Clark has his ego to sate!🤦🏻♀️
I’ve read about it before in this column and I’ve exchanged emails with David. Still, the missing apostrophe in the online puzzles prevails. It’s not a complete puzzle solution without the apostrophe. That’s for sure

If you’ve exchanged emails with David, I’m sure he’s told you that he has nothing to do with the omissions. You’d need to take the issue up with whoever is publishing the puzzle you’re using to play. David submits the puzzles with the apostrophes. 🙋🏻♀️

Today’s puzzle was very cryptic, and although I figured there would be some “I”‘s there, the solution didn’t make much sense to me. But that’s just me. Thanks for the Sinatra ballad…and I try to watch the movie on TCM whenever possible. Have a great Taco Tuesday, Angela. Terry

Easy Jumble today. I feel for the girl in the cartoon. Dating seems challenging in these times and she’s found a real loser with this one ! Thanks for the Frank Sinatra song choice Angela. Have a great Earth Day ! Thanks, Stan

YW, Stan…And thank you. It is a great tune. And ANN WE? Yes, I feel for her too…🗣️🙋🏻♀️

I agree. It made no sense to me. So one really has to stretch their imagination to get there.

No problem with the anagrams and saw that the last 2 words of the cartoon solution were “have it” but didn’t see the “I’s” solution right away. Chuck.

The surprise answer made no sense without the word “The” in front of it , which was only provided today(Wednesday, April 23).

I don’t know what you’re looking at, but it was definitely there yesterday…🤷🏻♀️https://tinyurl.com/4bbzud7u
I am looking right now at the Tuesday, April 22,2025 Chicago Tribune paper , section 2. There is no “The”in the jumble surprised answer.
Again, it has nothing to do with David. You’ll need to take the issue up with the newspaper. 🤷🏻♀️
