First:      6. Enjoyed vino, yes! Just, overindulged. Wasted. Yup. Greeeeeeeeeeen!!

Second: 4. Nuisance pests make our persistent work, overall, yieldless.

Third:     3. Exhausted vintner's yellow "juice", obliterating winery's yearly grosses

SERIOUSLY? Two q's with a p sandwiched between? You are mean.

It seems if there are 8 letters, people can always make something out of them, so I am not worried.

i was also going to rag on the Qs but screw it i will deal...

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!!!

Wrt the "Qs", it helps that Martin loves using them . . . that's all the hint I'll give. ;)

Third - #2  - though shouldn't it have been were vs. was since there was more than one pranking man! :lmao:

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!'

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.
