SCUPPERNONG ? If you say so! (It can also spelled scuppernog and scuppernogg, I find, and they all mean a variety of grape, presumably the same one.) I must confess I never heard of it; only picked on the "scupper" part because we've recently had National Talk-like-a-Pirate Day. Must also ruefully acknowledge that muscadine is another word I'm learning for the first time. Is that the grape whence comes muskatel? Onward! PAINTER: TINTORE... Durn. Ran out of letters. We'll just have to make do with these. | |||

MAIL TO INSULIN It makes ILLUMINATIONS but I don't usually think of making "illumination" into a plural! Maybe if you're a photographer or an artist, I guess. With a few small changes you get MAID TO ISSULIN, which is another matter altogether. (Would I lie to you?) | |||

I got that too, and when you burn it in the aft chimney you use the POSTERIOR FLUE. But that doesn't help any more than the other, showing that there's no fuel like an oil fuel. | |||
