CARTOON ANSWER:   HUMPTY DUMPTY’S DEPARTURE FROM THE WALL WAS A – – –

GAT   RD   ISE   SST   SU   GOI  = DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”

Good Morning, Everyone!         👑🍳  WRONGLY “EGG-SECUTED”? 🍳👑

🎶 I’m SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD...Just rollin’ along, just rollin’ along. And I’m quittin’ the blues of the world…Just singin’ a song, just singin’ a song. Glory, Hallelujah, I just phoned the parson..”Hey, Par, get ready to call”…Just like HUMPTY DUMPTY, I’M GOIN’ TO FALL..Yes, I’m SITTING ON TOP, top of the world…Just rollin’ along, just rollin’ along…🎶 “I’m Sitting On Top Of The World”  – Dean Martin   1973

👑🍳 We all know Humpty Dumpty as a child’s nursery rhyme,
Recited when kids GATHER, for such a long, long time…
One wonders how it came about, were these words of MISUSE?
Why was there such excitement from what may have been abuse?
What was he doing on that wall? No legs did he AFFORD,
The GOSSIP went around that he had snapped his Spinal Cord…
Dressed oh so nice and with a Crown, he really looked quite SPRUCE,
Yet one can’t help but wonder…Was the SYSTEM that footloose?
Without two legs to guide him, was he placed up there to wit…
And left to meet his sad fate of DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”? 🍳👑

WALL, WALL...Do you think today the YOLK’s on us? UnSCRAMBLING the words wasn’t a problem, but David sure DISHED out an EGGScellent solution! With all our words Sweet Repeats, there wasn’t any FALLtering there…They all went OVER EASY…but DISASTROUS?..Uh, yes..it almost proved to be! But let’s put our SUNNY SIDES UP, quit HORSEing around, and get to our cartoon…

Today we find ourselves in late eighteen century England, PEERing THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS, so to speak, as the Kings’ Horses and Men SCRAMBLE to find a way to help HUMPTY DUMPTY. Having fallen off the WALL,  he lies there all BROKEN UP OVER the whole thing! Poor HUMPTY…This is definitely CRACKED up to be a problem…And rumor has it he really was a good EGG…But what a MESStery…How’d he get UP there? Was he asSALTed? Could he have been just a YOLKen PAWN in some crazy Royal takeOVER? Could this have ended BUTTER? Is he really TOAST now? Or was he just SITTING there minding his own business? So many questions, and yet I fear we SHELL never know…BOTTOM line?…It’s definitely a DISASTER…Yep..it’s a DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”! Bravo, David! You’ve KIDded us once again!

Ok, eye candy…You have no idea how badly I was hoping one of the horses would be Black and White…you know SALT and PEPPER?…but gROAN, they’re not…Big expanse of Green grass, with Black-silhouetted trees WHEY off in the background. A Castle is seen OFF to the right, three flagged-spires showing. Nice POINTS, Jeff . Two FLUFFY clouds in the sky. The Kings’ Men are clad in Gray, with Red Sashes across their chests…And then we have our ENTREE, Humpty, himself. Red gloves, Gold unBROKEN CROWN, his innards YOKING into the ground…I’m going with him. From the looks of it? A perfect SUNNY SIDE UP result…Poor guy. He took a real gamble going up there…although it does look like he BROKE EVEN! So, There you have it YOLKS, Done! Have an EGGScellent day, Everyone! I’m OFF to PICK UP breakfast…I’m just BACON for some EGGS! 🍳👑🙋🏻

CRUPES = SPRUCE

SJYLUT = JUSTLY

CARTOON ANSWER:

WHEN NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON EXPLAINS STAR FORMATION, HE DOES A – – –

BLOASREJTL = STELLAR JOB

Happy Wednesday, Jumble fans! All of today’s clue words were old favorites and didn’t give me any problems whatsoever. CRUPES did require a quick second glance before coming into view so it’s my pick for the most difficult anagram of the day. If you’re a regular player of the Jumble you probably noticed that CRUPES looked familiar — and you’d be correct! It was last used on 3/6/18 where it was jumbled the exact same way.

The setting for today’s cartoon appears to be a lecture hall where a presentation is being given. The speaker was immediately recognizable as Neil deGrasse Tyson who is an astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. Mr. Tyson is one of pop culture’s most prominent scientists and speaks about cosmic curiosities in a way that “ordinary people” can understand. By reading the dialogue and sentence we discover that his presentation is focusing on red dwarf stars and the audience looks mesmerized by the facts that they are hearing.

The letter layout for the final solution was very impressive and I wouldn’t be surprised if it managed to stump some of you for a while. Knowing that Mr. Tyson presents scientific information in a manner which is easy to understand had me thinking that WORK or JOB would be somewhere in the solution. Sure enough, JOB jumped out at me leaving STELLAR to be found after a few quick self-jumbles of the remaining letters. Have a wonderful Wednesday, and I’ll see you tomorrow!

NUWSG – SWUNG

RIHEK – HIKER

CRUPES – SPRUCE

CAYPFI – PACIFY

CARTOON ANSWER:

AFTER ALL THE PASSENGERS LEFT, THE OCEAN LINER WAS THE – – 

SWHISREPC = “CREW’S” SHIP

Good Morning, Everyone!      🛳 SEA CREWS…? 🛳

🎶I got to get to rockin’, get my hat off the rack…I got to boogie-woogie like a knife in the back…So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose, Won’t ya let me take you on a SEA CRUISE? Oo-ee, oo-ee baby, Oo-ee, oo-ee baby, Oo-ee, oo-ee baby…Won’t ya let me take you on a SEA CRUISE? 🎶

🛳 Looking at the cartoon, one just can’t help but think
How crews upon a passenger ship must get that little kink…
To catch a break from catering to everybody’s whim,
And SPRUCE themselves up for a change, and just be her and him.
No one to have to PACIFY, no HIKERs for the walls,
They just can chill and be themselves with all their own foibles…
Lie in the sun, all care be SWUNG, raise drinks up to their lips…
And just relax, enjoy the port, and make it the “CREW’S“SHIP! 🛳

t Today’s words except for maybe PACIFY are old favorites. Ironically, SPRUCE WOOD have worked well y’day, right? But Pacify? Is it new? Can we make PEACE with it? What do you think, Folks? SAILING over to our cartoon, Jeff’s placed us ABOARD a Cruise Ship. Without any passengers on board, we SEA the CREW being afforded some time for themselves. We have four men, three women, and various means of diversion. For those of us who’ve been on cruises, we know how hard these people work. It’s no day at the beach! I’m sure there’s been many a time when these crew members have become SHE SICK, and HE SICK of catering to so many guests. So this down time is well deserved. Our question asks what the Ocean Liner is, now that the passengers are gone…The ShuffleBOARD player is saying,,”We never get a chance”… Ding! Ding! Ding! it’s the “CREW’S” SHIP! All Hands on Deck! …What a LINE ER, good job, David! Ok, eye candy. There’s a plethora today! Below the ships Funnels, we see a man, in uniform, the Captain perhaps, looking VERY relaxed, if you catch my DRIFT…Is that PORT he’s drinking? The women next to him is speaking into a wired HAND mic, the PA system, which Jeff shows us to be blaring off to the side. Below them is a guy with his fingers extended on both HANDS…Who he’s gesturing to, I’m not sure, but he’s smiling and happy! And then there’s the guy in the hot tub…with his hat on, and a drink in his hand…He’s VERY, VERY  happy! We have the couple playing shuffleBOARD, giving us the dialogue, and lastly, the woman sunbathing, with a drink, while using her phone. Phew! What a CREW! So what’s my pick for the day? Way off to the right side…STARBOARD?  Jeff’s signature sinking sailboat! Gets me every time! So, there you have it, Folks, Done! Have a great day, Everyone! And remember, MOOR often than KNOT, in life, SHIP happens…WATER you gonna do? Just get out there, and SEAS the day!  🛳🙋🏻
