Doug,

My apologies for not having responded to your earlier note to me. I am in Europe and traveling. Agree with Lee that quite likely the problem you are experiencing stems from your own e-mail system, which makes it difficult (impossible, really) to troubleshoot from without. Recommend checking your spam folder, as Lee suggested, and also check to ensure you have no filter settings which could affect either your receipt of messages or your seeing them. Modern spam algorithms have become particularly pesky, as the criteria for ascertaining whether or not something is spam do not always produce desired results. Good luck with it all! Aloha, Lars ======================

Did you hear about the gal who got a bad dye job on her hair and couldn’t sleep at night? Her bangs were just too loud. If you want to avoid getting scurvy, eat more citrus! Well duh! Hey, it’s not rickets science. Driving through west Texas this past week, I passed Sweetwater. Must have been all that iced tea I’d been drinking!

Rogue 980 - All about Vacations - Reveal
bill crider
This week Kirk and Lars both made clean sweeps, getting all the answers. Kirk was first, and has agreed to host next weekend. Gary, Aaron, James, Joseph, and Doug made good showings. I hope you all enjoyed playing. It seems shorter easier games are better for summer play! The Reveal: 1. I wanted to take a Scandinavian cruise, but I could not blank it. 2. On our cruise, to take a shore excursion on the small Pacific island, we had to pay blank. 3. I wonder if my wife would like to take a cruise to the frozen NorthWest? I think blank. I should never just State what I want to do, I always present it to her in the form of a question. ALASKA 4. To tour Europe, we can’t decide between a river cruise or pedaling. That is to say, the choice is either blank or blank. (not a pun, just sort of wordplay). 5. I told my friend I did a lot of gambling on my Caribbean island vacation, so he asked ‘Blank a lot of money?’ He said 'Yes, but I wish I made Samoa." JAMAICA

Rogue 980 - All about Vacations - Hints included
bill crider
Aaron, Kirk, and James have all gotten several bingos. Climb aboard and join the Pun Ship. Just 5 easy puns, who else would like to play? With only two participants last week, I can only guess that lots of folks are on vacation. So this week the riddles are all about vacations. Or maybe people saw 20 questions and were scared away. So this week is just 5 easy questions. As usual, send guesses to bill.crider at gmail.com. Don't reply all. ************************ 1.

Not sure I would be willing to buy beef online. It’s a real meat market out there and often just a sausage fest. Are you willing to butcher self at brisket this time? Gary Hallock

Rogue 979 Reveal and Rogue 980 Warning
bill crider
We only had two players this week, and alas, neither could host. Kirk got 24 of 25, and Cyn got 5. Since no one could claim, I will post an easy Rogue shortly. BillCrider Disclaimer: Punning on the Democratic candidates names does not in any way indicate my political position for or against any of these candidates. It is not intended to incite any political discussion at all. It is my fervent hope that NO political discussion results from this Rogue Riddle. It is only about puns on the names of the candidates. My brain puns on the names of everyone mentioned on Television, Radio, Movies, Internet and all other media. I can’t help it. If any of these puns are considered by anyone to be insulting, complimentary, inflammatory, laudatory, or to attribute anything whatsoever – that is entirely in the mind of the reader and not intended by me. My only intent was to make a pun. In fact – I didn’t intend to. It just happened in my brain by default like it always does. It’s a mental affliction, not a political stance.
These should be easy. Too easy. Everyone should be able to Google the list (you probably know at least 5 or 10 of the names already). Just make a pun on the name, a terribly obvious juvenile pun. Don’t overthink it.
Example: The White House has gone to the dogs, specifically Lady and the Tramp.
1. Can an Indiana mayor become president? I don’t know. You blank blank blank. Be the judge / Pete Buttigieg 2.
The people of New York want to know – what
blank blank is going on? 3.
Colorado has a new farm-themed amusement
park. The roller coaster is known as the blank blank. 4.
She originally sought an endorsement from
Smuckers, but when they proved too conservative she got an endorsement from a
different blank blank. 5.
Just before his first appearance he got a sore
throat. He could neither speak nor blank blank. 6.
By the time he finished his speech on the
hot Fourth of July, all the ice cream was blank. 7.
The scary parts of a Stephen King movie
always make my blank blank. 8.
Sadly, some candidates feel they must blank
before the large donors 9.
Listening to her list of new government
programs, I think it must be longer than blank blank Peace. 10.
With
his crazy ideas, it is only a matter of time before his opponents refer to him
as blank blank. 11.
“I
don’t think you will be president” his opponent said, “but you might be the
blank blank.” 12.
“You got the nomination!” his campaign
manager exclaimed! “No, not really. I am just blank with you” 13.
After
his speech, there was no food left over for him. It had already blank blank. 14.
The
country club had such an extensive dining facility, they even had to hire their
own blank blank to prepare enough meat for their guests. 15.
What
God has joined together, let no man tear a blank. 16.
What’s that noise in the henhouse? I don’t
know – I will go blank blank. 17.
I can’t think of what to type. I seem to
have writer’s blank. 18.
If
you want to eat, you will need a knife, blank and a spoon. 19.
Yes,
I am serious! I am as serious as a heart blank! 20.
The
odds against him are blank – nomical. 21.
Ah got mah chores ta do, Ah cain’t just
stand around the barn and blank, blank. 22.
The jury finds you guilty of stealing a
horse in Texas. Therefore we sentence you to blank. 23.
Running for president for the third time?
That proves he is always blank off more than he can chew. 24.
I leave my elder son my rangeland and
cattle, but I blank blank blank my homestead and horses. 25.
Dear, please wipe the baby’s nose, there is
a blank hanging out of it.

Re: punny signs
Lars Hanson
A often question asked of Sea World — “Did it serve its porpoise?” (One trusts not for dinner!) The questioners usually receive a flipper response.
I heard that billboard required a loan to finance — it certainly was ad hock. Lars ====================== Did it serve its purpose? Was it disfunctional? I told my doctor that I injured my leg while watching an animated feature film. He asked, "was it dis knee?" Here I am One Sagan ====================

Rogue 979 Standings and Update
bill crider
Only two players so far. Kirk has jumped in with an early commanding lead of 21 kills. Cyn is in a distant second place. These are easy, so feel free to play. ****************************************** Sorry for the late Rogue - I have been working all weekend away from keyboard rehabbing a hoarder house.
