It seems if there are 8 letters, people can always make something out of them, so I am not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised no-one has complained about the two u's together in the other one. It must be the lesser of two evils. I just experimented with creating acronyms for them - geez, it was HARD!!!

No, its fine, I read it as the writer is regretting pranking Paxter's men as it got him in trouble. ie 'that was dumb of me'. Its not Paxter's men doing the pranking, they were the one who were pranked, so 'was' is correct. Similar to 'Note: teasing policemen was overhasty - handcuffed!'

Dolorous Gabe Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 First: 4. Nuisance pests make our persistent work, overall, yieldless. Second: 1. Enjoyable vacation. Yeomen jocularly offered wines, yellow grapes. Third: 6. Enjoyed vino, yes! Just, overindulged. Wasted. Yup. Greeeeeeeeeeen!! I think I might be in disagreement with nearly everyone about what makes an interesting entry in this edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
