It is weird to find NO set-up categories this week...I imagine that is part of the "incompleteness" mentioned above? I just wanted to say that I solved the Appetizer. I imagine others will, too. I had never actually HEARD the term that is the answer; I went to look it up afterward.

QUESTIONS\
ReplyDeleteHINTS!
ReplyDeleteYou say POTATO, but I've never said THAT.
DeleteSUNDAY HINTS FOR ENTREES 2-7:
Delete2. “Some means of transportation” does not include bicycles or EVs.
3. The car is now a hybrid.
4. Despite the name of the equipment, it might be costly.
5. The means of transportation would be seen in Amish country.
6. The item being transported is usually stored vertically in a protected site.
7. Change the last letter of the truck maker to a copy of the next to last letter and rearrange to get a cooling citrus drink.
Pretty much confirmed my answer to #7, but that's it. Hopefully my saying you would mostly see horses and buggies in Amish country, if I haven't given it all away there(which I doubt because I don't think "horse" or "buggy" would come from whatever exercise equipment I'm supposed to drop the first two letters from), clearly it must be an actual brand name of a horse-and-buggy, if there is such a thing. I was totally lucky to find the answer to #7, given my finding absolutely ZERO other exercise-equipment-related answers, and the hints have only gotten me further and further AND further away from any and all intended answers(except #7). Bravo. You've basically only confirmed #7 for me. Nothing more, nothing less. Bravo, and kudos.

LegoHintingling
I'm working through the hints, but I don't see one for the Slice. I haven't solved that yet.
DeleteTortie, the term for a "fishy" opportunist in the Slice is two six-letter words. Think flounder or sole.
DeleteNodd, thanks for that. I have the answer now.
DeleteFor some reason, I'm not having great luck with the puzzles this week, even after the hints. I'm still missing the Schpuzzle, even though I know what one of the words must be. And I'm also missing Entrees #3, 5, and 6. At least I solved the App
Great. The answer to the Dessert IS the one name that came up a lot as I was trying to find the "poet, scholar, humanist". Was the spoonerization of the name really that easy for you, Lego? Because I am having trouble seeing it. And then I had to look up the phrase I sort of got from it. No real use of this phrase in anything I found, really. Is it actually a commonly used phrase? Up in Minnesota where Lego is, maybe. Not really here in Alabama, I don't think.
DeletepjbMustNowRechargeHisKindlr,AsTheKeyboardHasJustTurnedFromWhiteToBlack
I had trouble with the Dessert as well. My answer doesn't really match the poet's pronunciation from what I've seen.
DeleteFollow-up hints for Entrees:
Delete3. The equipment brand is a girl's name. The car is a top-selling sedan.
5. The exercise equipment would be used in a pool to target the lower body.
6. The item being transported is something North Korea now has. The means of transportation is something you might rent if you're moving.
When I went to do the Dessert, and one obvious name popped up, I had trouble splitting it into two syllables, because the 'rules' we learned during school years didn't seem to apply (ie split between two consonants.). Only after looking at the BRITISH pronunciation, did the split Lego was after seem to be legit.
DeleteTortie, I'm utterly stuck on the Schpuzzle, as well. Every slang word for a sailor seems to need a letter that doesn't appear in any number until you go really HIGH up...and then I can't work anything out after doing so. [And Lego's hint didn't help.] I've given up.
DeleteI don't know if it's the right answer, but I found a slang word for sailor that you can remove from a hyphenated ordinal number to leave a non-hyphenated ordinal number. The slang word is an anagram of a cardinal number. The slang word can mean a sailor, but it can also mean other things. The slang word is a jewelry brand minus two letters. As I say, I may be totally wrong!
DeleteThat sounds intriguing, Nodd. I suspect that you are probably in possession of the correct answer...as you so often are!!
DeleteWell, that got me #3 so far. Not finding any anagrams using the letters of what I'm sure are used for moving, and what North Korea now has, has many different abbreviations. Haven't solved #5 at all. What, no more hints for #2 and #4? Need more info on the slang word, not finding anything except that Pandora could become "panda", but there's nothing about sailors in its few nicknames. You may, in fact, be totally wrong! Just saying I have my doubts at this hour.
DeletepjbShould'veBeenToBedAlreadyByNow,ButNo,HeJustHadToCheckBackHere!
pjb, I think the slang term is related to the jewelry company that is associated with "breakfast" or "I think we're alone now." That word showed up a few times while I was trying to solve the puzzle. It does appear to be a slang term for sailor, although a somewhat obscure one.
DeleteMore follow-up hints for Entrees:
Delete2. The exercise is a system designed to strengthen your core, kind of like yoga but of more recent invention.
4. The exercise equipment is for pumping iron without using machines.
Tortie; yes, I came up with the same "slang" term whose jewelry company is associated with 'breakfast' as you apparently did. NEVER HEARD the word in my whole life. That would give us the hyphenated term (or any choice thereof), but what I still don't get is how to come up with a third ordinal number (if indeed that is what Lego had meant...i.e."different" as he calls it). But I'm sick of thinking about this puzzle!
DeleteComment to PJB's post on Aug 9 at 6:10 p.m. (Pacific time, not sure if this blog automatically changes times; it has seemed to do so in the past.). As I was trying, for the first time, to tackle Entree 5, SUDDENLY an alternate term for that which you have mentioned above, that I had completely forgotten existed, popped into my head, when I took a harder look at what the correct exercise equipment is. [I'd forgotten we were meant to change the first two letters.]. Perhaps the same will occur to you?

ReplyDeleteLego, I LOVE that adorable moose picture in Entree 5. Where did you get it? If part of it is missing, due to cropping, could you possibly email me the entire pic? Thanks....
DeleteHappy end-of-the-week to all!
ReplyDeleteI'm fine. Mom has had a stomachache for a few days now. Mia Kate suggested going to Rock and Roll Sushi for supper, but Mom said no. Bryan and Renae decided to go to the condo in FL for a few days, and didn't bother to tell me or Mom. I got a much-needed haircut and beard trim at Cuts By Us earlier this afternoon, and had Wendy's for lunch(Baconator, Baconator Fries, Diet Dr. Pepper, and an Oreo Brownie Frosty Fusion). I will be fixing my own supper later tonight. Only thing I've solved so far is the Hors d'Oeuvre, but I'm sure the intended answer can be obtained by not just putting a conjunction and a hyphen after the fifth letter, but also putting a hyphen before the fifth letter as well. That's what I got anyway. BTW I really have to ask, what does "delete first names from the middle of each word" mean in the Slice? Is this not a one-word term for an opportunist that we're looking for? Shouldn't it be first LETTERS, not names? Lego, you really need to go back and check your original text on that one, because it makes no real sense whatsoever. Will be waiting patiently for this particular edition of P! to be finished. Still have to finish the Prize Crossword later when Wordplays.com finally has the answers to those clues ready(hopefully!). Good luck to all in solving, and please stay safe, etc. Cranberry out!
pjbDoesn'tHaveToWorryAboutItAllForTheTimeBeing(ThankGod!)
Since Lego hasn't answered you yet re the Slice, I thought I would put in my two cents' worth. In the answer I got, indeed the opportunist term is TWO words. EAch word has a first name in the middle of it. But the part that Lego did NOT make clear was that after removing those names, you have to REARRANGE the remaining letters...the answer doesn't just 'fall out' after the two names are removed.
DeleteThank you greatly for that excellent "ViolinTedditing," ViolinTeddy!
DeleteI have corrected my two-words omission, and my failure to mention that little matter of rearranging the letters that remain after the "double-name purge.

With a lot of this, I basically just have to add this: If you say so.-pjb
SCHPUZZLE: Per Nodd’s Aug 10 comment, I finally found “TIFFY”, a word I’ve never heard of before. It’s an anagram of’ FIFTY', and is ‘TIFFANY' with two letters removed. So FIFTY-FIRST (or SECOND, or THIRD, etc). Removing TIFFY leaves you with just ‘FIRST” or “SECOND” …etc. I”m not sure if we were supposed to somehow create a THIRD ordinal number or not. If so, I don’t know how to do that. [Slang terms in the photos: GOB, TAR, SQUID, SWABBIE]
