NOM DE PLUME Right. COGNITION That's the scramble. In a way it's an "antigram" rather than an anagram, which should be self-describing. | |||

COGNITION incognito... Hab, is that you?? And there should be lots of INKY ARM GERM around masquerades and festivals.. | |||

MARCHING BAND (I had "charming band" before, and "Chairman BDNG" first but then I ran out of vowels.) Change again: SHIPMATE ROOMS | |||
|
| Member |
yes, Hab. You got it right. But do you know why I chose Marching Band as a jumble? This was in response to your comment about someone in No. Iowa choosing seguaro as a word. | |||
|
| Member |
Dunno about that. The only reason I know about seguaro cactus is from a 35-year-old Text Adventure program called the Lost Dutchman's Gold mine... And I'm not sure I see the how the marching band gives you knowledge of cactuses. Unless Iowa marching band took you to cactus country? | |||
|
| Member |
no, silly. Actually I wasn't trying to connect the two. Marching Band was my North Iowa clue. I come from Mason City, IA. We have a famous footbridge here. Do I need to provide more clues? | |||

Just my provincialism showing, I guess. My flaw. LITERAL CRAP = CATERPILLAR Now TRY B.U. LEFT | |||

Hab, my choice of marching band was because Mason City is the home of Meredith Wilson. Is it now making sense? | |||
|
| Member |
Now I gotcha. Boys' band. He'd never get away with that today. But still my provincialism was showing. | |||
