STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER??

Bingo! [exploding-fireworks-e] Remember that context?!

Happy Fourth of July!

Your turn to post.

Are you ready to Jumble? I am so proud of myself...

Back to Maine (I'm reading these great books..)

REBEL RUBIES... Good foraging for the Confederates!

BLUEBERRIES

whereas out on Cape Cod

REBS RAN RICE in
BEN'S CARRIER behind a
BRIAR SCREEN

(Take your pick.)

REBS RAN RICE

cranberries!! Now I'm hungry..

MINT COON CUP

COMPUNCTION None whatsoever.

I wanted to buy a CRISP STEED
but I couldn't afford TED'S PRICES.
(Again, take your pick)

CRISP STEED

disrespect...........

SORT BIO, USE!

to the sublime...

SORT BIO USE - replace the RT with a QU and you can make OBSEQUIOUS

But as it stands it's BOISTEROUS

An easy one:

WORDY

I hope "dowry" was correct.. I'm moving on..

ACT LEAN, CHILLY - 2 words!

Remember that WORDY followed BOISTEROUS, thus ______ rather than DOWRY.

There's that context thing again...

Soo...back to LILLANCE YACHT...or whatever...

well now... wordy people sometimes get ROWDY when bickering over what should be in the dowry.

and while I know that lillance yacht will take on a passenger with a pretty face , she would also have to be wearing CHANTILLY LACE

Here in Iowa we have farms for corn, but for meat we have the HAM CORP

...for meat we have the HAM CORP

RAM CHOP I could understand, but I hope you don't keep it around long enough to need to preverve it with CAMPHOR!

THOMAS, LL. B.

(Surely you didn't want an anagram of "para-dichloro-benzene"!)

does that MOTH have BALLS? I thought it was two words, but if mothballs is one word... so be it.

Motorcycle riders in LA need NIMBLE HELMETS

RIPE EN STOUT

PRETENTIOUS

PRECIOUS LUIS

PRECIOUS LUIS

is supercilious... haughty, indeed!

Now, for breakfast smiles:

AW, EGG GRINS!

AW, EGG GRINS!

Swaggering

FAB'LOUS "T"

FAB'LOUS "T"

boastful

Changing the subject - to those cold winters in Maine - when one played with taffy.. and had an:

ICED PULL

I can see it clearly: it's PELLUCID!

Now, what shape would A PRIM LADY be in if she contracted a RIP MALADY ?

A PRIM LADY

would be in Egypt.. visiting the Pyramids..

pyramidal

What happens when the fee for the bathroom isn't paid?

URINAL GRAT

URINAL GRAT

trianglar

SESSILE C.O. The Boss never gets out of his chair!

(That may be difficult, unless you remember the context !)

SESSILE C.O.

isosceles
(so easy once I stared at the word triangular for about 3 minutes without blinking... and then realized I'd been spelling this word wrong in my head for years...)

People too young to do the whole church wedding thing sometimes have skin problems...

ZITSY ELOPER
I may have the "context" thing wrong but maybe I can convince you to see it my way...

ZITSY ELOPER

PROSYLETIZE (-ISE for some)

O CONNIVERS ! (not to be taken as a political statement!)

Yes, indeedy. I solved it, I just couldn't spell it. It's PROSELYTIZE, not the way I said before. Proselyte, as in acolyte, only different.

And welcome back, TrossL :-)

Thanks Hab...

O CONNIVERS!
conversion

DEMON TRIPE
same bat time... same bat channel... (contextually speaking...)

Is "PIND" our next Bluffing Game word? I can measure it with my PINDOMETER !

Doubt that you'll find any REDEMPTION by consulting your Pindometer, Hab...

What do you tell a hick who's trying to get some culture?

CALEB! TRY ROE...

Redemption it is. Nothing like getting up from the monitor after logging out and walking away to have the solution come to you. Always nice to get something for your Green Stamps, too!

CALEB, TRY ROE !

CELEBRATORY

Do we dare try to broaden our horizons with I CHEAP STINT ?

I don't have time for that... I can barely make it to Sunday morning and Wednesday night... If you had to give equal time to them all... well... you just couldn't...

Hmmm...48 hours and no solution. Hint time:

1) It begins with an P

2) It ends with a C

3) Remember the context? We've been talking about religions.

(paint over as many as you like)

Pantheistic

Many gods make for busy hands.

CAT PLY OLDY

POLYDACTYL !

I'm polydactyl, as is my sister, and so was my father and one of his sisters, and my grandmother. When we got a cat there was one in the litter who was polydactyl, and so he just HAD to become a member of our family... (Polydactyl cats are a New England specialty!)

R - A - G - G - M - A - P - P - RAGMAP
(may be capitalized)

GRAMPA!

Did I do it? Did I get one? !!!!!!!!!

Sometimes coffee and tea just won't do.
CUPA STYS

You dood it! You dood it! And you gave us a mixed-up PUSSYCAT !

If you're asking a favor and you can't spell, you might be a PLEADOR
If you're a beer fancier, you are careful not to DROP ALE
If you're a jeweler, you just may come across a RED OPAL
or maybe you'll work with a deep-sea diver and DO PEARL
If you're a cardiac physiologist, you deal with PRELOAD

...but you're still just a mixed-up big pussycat!

very good, Hab. Did I create a monster?

We should be very careful about who gets PAROLED, because a LEOPARD doesn't change his spots.

Pack rhythmically: RAP THY CARGO

Ha! He can't change his spots, but I'd be able to spot him nearly anywhere!

LEOPARD

Just keep giving me easy ones!

I'd describe you all this way, but it almost sounds more like a mischievous monk . . .

Ci, pious capers

PERSPICACIOUS - what a wise and wonderful word!

and to go along with my earlier jumble,

GIT A RUM VACCINE... while you RAP THY CARGO

GIT A RUM VACCINE

circumnavigate

COSILY VISUAL

...and RAP THY CARGO was CARTOGRAPHY.

now, back to arnie's COSILY VISUAL

Aha! LASCIVIOUSLY !

(but probably thereby not ELEGANTLY MN)

If he made sure that she released her tumescence first, it would be GENTLEMANLY indeed!

Perhaps he should just get her flowers... maybe a bouquet of GOC AMARYLLIS

I'm not sure I see what MACY'S GORILLA has to do with anything...

SCARILY GLOAM...??

We need help, Trossl...

Two other dubious possibilities: ORGASM LACILY or ORGASMIC ALLY?

ORGASMICALLY

This is a real word according to dictionary.com
It is the adverb form of orgasm. Sorry for the confusion... I guess I should go back to churchy type words as a penance...

COOL MAGNETISING RAG

Bah!

I even typed it out, but with a space! And I still didn't see it!

COOL MAGNETISING RAG

Is that CONGREGATIONALISM plus an extra G ?

If so -- try LINT'S COCOA

LINT'S COCOA

iconoclast.... That was a mind-bender, Hab!

Beneath the hot, searing, summer sun, the cotton bales become:
