ReplyDeleteRemember the Alamo.
ReplyDeleteMan, u r n Artist.
DeleteCertain 20th Century artists would be appropriate.
DeleteSpeaking of 20th Century artists, Will's a related musical clue.
DeleteRearrange the even letters of the longer word. You get something equestrians using such equipment try to avoid.
ReplyDeleteGot it. It might take me longer to come up with a non-TMI clue.
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of a Saturday Night Live recurring sketch, from way back.

ReplyDeleteWill expects his minions to solve by Wednesday, y'all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again, ecoarchitect!
ReplyDeleteDitto!
DeleteI know this a little creepy, but here goes: Dr. Huxtable.
ReplyDeleteDid Ayesha say over 500 correct responses to last week's? I predict well over a thousand for this week.

ReplyDeleteI'm heavily allergic to horses, so I'll never participate in equestrian sports. Nonetheless, I needed little encouragement to solve this week's puzzle
ReplyDeleteI guess my equipment would be a hazmat suit and a handful of antihistamines. Not what Will is looking for...
DeleteSeems like Blaine's getting pretty agitated this morning. His guidelines go in one ear and out the other.

ReplyDeleteThe onomatopoeia *is* the song title, thus TMI.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we - collectively - are keeping Blaine busy today
ReplyDeleteI especially like Blaine's clue since it makes me recall the antics of an ancestor, William Dummer, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, 1716-1730. Especially when he got a snoot full. Let me just say in regard to Blaine's clue: Not in the Dimmer Mansion!
ReplyDeleteI heard this puzzle on NPR.
ReplyDeleteI think I had to figure this one out for Puzzleria!

ReplyDeleteNow that I got the answer I'll have a cup of tea with sugar and take out my oatmeal from the microwave and add agave.

ReplyDeleteNo clue here just a question. Did any one else besides me keep getting the wrong puzzle when the went to the NPR website? The puzzle that came up was from 11/16. Without Blaine, I'd still be trying to find it.
ReplyDeleteI posted it right after it came up at the end of last week's blog:

This week's challenge comes from Greg VanMechelen, of Berkeley, Calif. Name some equipment an equestrian might use. Remove the second, third and fourth letters, and reverse those that remain. The result will be some more equipment an equestrian might use. What things are these?
If you know the answer to the challenge, submit it below by Wednesday, November 26 at 3 p.m. ET. Listeners whose answers are selected win a chance to play the on-air puzzle."
And now I see Blaine's answer link no longer goes to their older form, so we no longer get confirmations with our answer included, which makes thursdays easier. I suppose it was one of the last things DOGE took away before quitting.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of a recent Casey Kasem rerun, where the artist at #1 was twice as old as when he released his first single.
ReplyDeleteThe NYT has released the winners of its Spelling Bee challenge. I was most impressed by frequent NPR puzzle contributor Andrew Chaikin's entry, in which he reimagined the Gilligan's Island theme song! Spelling Bee Writing Contest Winners
