but a BLEAT LORE one, I hope.

I've only seen Valkyrie, a mythological figure always capitalised, in the context of Wagner or Bullfinch.

It's hard to vote by Google (if that's worth anything), since the Net is mostly case-insensitive. Having said that, I note that of the first sixty g-hits, fifty-nine are capitalized; the lone exception is Wikipedia, whose authoritative stature has been impugned by some.

I have no idea about ASIA BOND, but I do find

ARA'S TABLE.... alabaster!

If you're in the woods with drugs, look out for the

Back from visiting kidlets :-) !

Re: ASIA BOND -- if alabater* is white, What color/mineral would be the furthest from that?

[Edit: That's "alabaster," of course. Some days I just can't type worth a durn. /Edit]

TREE NARC is entrance, he said, hypnotized.

And where in France might you arrange to meet a NERVOUS ZED ?

MC TIME, HARPO ! Rock 'em!

Hammer, op. cit? Hammer, picto? Topic, Hammer?

that was A TRUE UMPH

MC TIME, HARPO

metamorphic

I don't have a clue about A TRUE UMPH, though.

Mt. Ruapehu.

I got hung up on the comma in MC TIME, HARPO, thinking there had to be a comma in the answer (and also the MC part, thinking there had to be a "hammer." And if that were true, I should have put a period in my clue. I also should have said "2 words" sorry.

Try

I also suspect some knowledge of NZ geography would be required. I had to Google to find out that it's a volcano in New Zealand.

Ignoring GRID READINGS?

My sister lives near there; I've actually eaten lunch on Mt. Ruapehu. It's just south of Tongariro and Ngauruhoe. The three volcanoes line up in a spectacular row in the middle of a desert plain. Every one of them has so many vowels that it's difficult to make anagrams out of them at all!

GRID READINGS

disregarding

and close letterwise, but totally unrelated, is

ID READINGS

(Do they make you a Freudian fortune-teller? Maybe if you embellish them a little bit?)

ID READINGS

Maybe better luck reading TEA LEAVES.

(we needed an easy one for variety's sake!)

ID READINGS

Hmm...well, TE LEAVES is "elevates" but you want something with one more A...

And ID READINGS can be made into one word (British spelling, if you must)

EDIT: No it can't, Hab, you dummy! You meant to write GA READINGS

This message has been edited. Last edited by: haberdasher,

Where's the simplicity of all this?? I'm very confused.

I still can't solve TEA LEAVES.

And now I should solve GA READINGS?

Is it:
aged grains or
grade gains? sigh...

I'm lost too! I can make nothing of either ID READINGS or TEA LEAVES.

(or GA READINGS, come to that.)

I messed up on Tea Leaves--I meant "elevates," but it does have an extra "a." So I withdraw that one.

I can't solve GR Readings either--for a sec, I thought AGGRANDISE, but missing an "a" and too many "r"s.

Do we have to solve it before we admit it's just
ALIEN OLD US?

Aha! One I can get!

I meant GA READINGS to be aggrandise - did I misspell it again? No, I think I got it right, this time. Finally.

ALEC'S EMULSION looks like MISCELLANEOUS.

And I'm the one who misspelled it, substituting GR for GA. My bad. Just now I have to attend to other things, so I'll try another one later.
