May be the clue should have been "Salvatore Dali"? It looks like MOUSTACHIOED from here...

But it would be hard for one of the Distaff Side to unscramble, inasmuch as it is MAN PATTER !

(By the way, my wife just bought some green machine juice that I swear actually is a cud smoothie.)

You'll have to tell us about the Tampa rent for your new apartment.

Look at that bling! That sure is some SWANK MICA you're sporting there.

...it's getting cold and raw - better get out the mackinaws !

Oh, and the General got caught in the rain; we'd better
DRY OUR C.O.

The problem is he's wearing corduroy. That has NO DENIM GRIT.

For some, this is a NOD RING TIME.

MJ... just one (1) word? I'm having a hard time.

One "timely" word (polar residents excepted).

How about reveille?

Is it perhaps
MORNINGTIDE?

It could not be anything else. Is "morningtide" too obscure for this game?

Nice word. Too obscure? It shouldn't be, but maybe we'll want to widen our horizons a little.

(Is "eventide" a phonetic redundancy?)

Arnie, looks as though you're up next...

Above blender? ATOP MINCER

...change the N to an H and get AMPHOTERIC...

(just mumbling out loud, don't mind me)

...or change the M to a U and get PRECAUTION...

...or even add another I and get IMPRECATION...

...I'm sure I'm not missing anything of IMPORTANCE.

Ever seen a GUANO TREE ?

SAIL SIGNS................ OK!

...change one of the three Ss to a second I and make ASSAILING

Edit: Cain't hardly spell, neither. Make that a second A for ASSAILING.

IS SIGNALS!

I can see right through this one!

"...curtains you can roll right down, in case there's a change in the weather!"

CHARM NOISE STREAM - two upper-case words

[Edit - for those too young to know Oklahoma! - the unscrambled word is ISINGLASS. OK?]

Oh, Hab, I knew you'd "get it"... but I'm having trouble with

CHARM NOISE STREAM..

mean choirmasters?? I know that's not it..

Wouldn't you love to sing Curly's songs??

Hint the second - where did all the words come from ?

Funny, but I mistakenly thought isinglass had only one 's' at the end.

Oscar Hammerstein indicates that fish bladders may be a bit RISQUE TO US.

Change the second U to a B and make SOBRIQUETS...

Wiki differentiates between isinglass the fish bladder and isinglass the mineral, a transparent mineral.


...or leave the O out completely and make SEQUITURS, no? (Does Eastpondian insert an O before the U, as in honour, to make it "sequitours"? I didn't think so.)

I'm a dummy for missing Oscar Hammerstein... !

turquoises?

Yes, it is several colors as well as a stone. KHC, your go.

SAINTS YACK... 2 words

'Sequitur' is Latin for "it follows". So far as I know it is never used in English outside the phrase 'non sequitur', "it does not follow", so it wouldn't really be a valid answer even if spelled correctly.

I hope two capitalized words...

Saints yack in Kansas City as well as Chicago I guess....probably they are up there searching for the DAMP ORACLE.

PROCLAAMED. (An I for and A and a...)

I've seen sequitur used in "et seq." also, meaning "and those that follow."

Just to let you all know; they found the DAMP ORACLE at the zoo.

(it was not a roped clam)

I saw the LEOPARD-MAC, but I didn't think you were supposed to make them into burgers.

But I suppose a CAMELOPARD qualfies...

and if you strap a pointy stick to its head before you tuck it in for the night, will it have a
COSIER HORN ?

Ah yes, I remember the ill-fated MacLeopard sandwich. It wasn't really the political incorrectness that did it in. People just didn't want their burgers spotted and furry.

Now is that big-nosed rhinoceros part of that CAMPY HERD which seems immune to all insults?

Immune to all insults - what a thick skin that must involve - PACHYDERM, you might say.

(can't spell worth a dam today - back as soon as I rework this)

That's better. All these animals must have come over on the
SAME SHIP.

"Dam"? I think there is a bit of a misshape to your emphasis.

Each animal is drugged during shipment so that it ARRIVES INNATE

EMPHASIS it is. And who takes care of all these beasties are VETERINARIANS.

Speaking of vets, my CREDIT TOOL TOLD me which one should be caring for my animals. (two upper-case words)

That must be Doctor Doolittle. It's a bit moist in that pink snail, so it's GOOD I DRIED the pushme-pullyou; that thing can overwhelm the senses.

I'm not sure what the pink snail has to do with the pushme-pullyu - am I missing something?

In the meantime better have BEN MOTOR over to the music store and pick up your Didgeridoo.

Ah, Ben. Didn't he always want to be Morton of the Robot Men and slide about blowing his air-trombone? If I'm not mixed up, I think Mort named his horn, "the OL' SPECIAL".

If he was blowing his trombone while riding on one of those steam calliopes, then no wonder it sounded like such a SOUR SCALE. But wasn't his name "Billy" back then?

You guys are having way too much fun...

SOUR SCALE

carousels... Unlike R&H "Carousel"

TAKE M. SUPERMAN, for example - what kind of deodorant d'ya suppose he needs?

Hint: It's a small Disneyworld.

Good one. And now I see where it come from, too - AMUSEMENT PARK !

I really don't do very well with two-words-and-beyond anagrams.

Where do snakes come from?

PURSUE FOULS

(Can you think of a common seven-letter word with three Us in it? It's unusual.)

This one's superfluous.

I BOIL GORM

Funny, but I misread your statement as a short word with three U's and three S's in it.

The imbroglio caused such a fuss--throughout the room, a susurrus.

Anyhow, it is sometimes fun to see POP IN NETTLE
