PUZZLERIA! SLICES: OVER 3(7!) SERVED
Schpuzzle of the Week:
“Does Dan’s Dad even give a hoot?”
Miles, a marathoner, and his son Dan stay overnight at Uncle Zeke’s New England farm. The farm is a haven for night owls “who” roost in the barn but “who” usually leave by morning.
Dan, alas, is terrified of owls.
Miles wakes early the next morning and leaves to compete in the Boston Marathon. The owls, alas, don’t leave, casting a pallor of panic and dread over Dan.
Zeke, concerned about Dan’s emotional state, texts Miles at the 5-mile mark of the marathon:
“Owls stayed. Dan whitens. Care?”
What deeper subliminal meaning might Uncle Zeke’s text contain?

The result is a civilized event that typically celebrates both these things. Cross out the last letters of the thin and small things to get a word meaning uncivilized.
If instead you cross out the first letters of the thin and small things you’ll name someone often present at the event.
⿎2. Think of an automobile accessory in two words. Remove the space and swap the first and last letters. The result will be something used by an airplane.
⿎3. Think of something small that spins quickly. Move the last letter to the fourth place. The result will be an informal word for quick action.

What do you call a rodent hanging from a tree limb?
ReplyDeleteI didn't find a picture of a SQUIRRELCICLE hanging from a tree limb, but here's one hanging from a rain gutter.
DeleteROUNDING THE CORNERs of a square gives you something like a SQUIRCLE. Or, you could just scoop out the middle of a SQUIRRELCICLE and dispose of that old RELIC, I suppose.
I can understand why an AGENT would attend a beauty PAGEANT, but I'm struggling to imagine what sort of PAGEANT would "celebrate" PAGEs and ANTs. Some sort of medieval PAGAN festival, perhaps?
PROTON > PRONTO
WALKING & TALKING ON AIR
BAR HARBOR (Maine)
PEARL JAM > GIRL, LAMB
I had the Same question, Paul, re what celebrates pages and ants! But it seemed the only plausible answer, so I simply gave up wondering.
DeleteSince I was unwillingly opted out from the last two weeks' puzzles, I'm pleased to say that I have solved everything EXCEPT Conundrum #1, the WILL SLICE, and Entree #7.
ReplyDeleteAt least, I THINK I have the Schpuzzle....
I will never look at a Tostitos bag in the same way.
ReplyDeleteHappy First Friday In November to all!
ReplyDeleteJust checked Puzzleria! for the first time tonight(you were late again last night, Lego), and immediately solved the Schpuzzle, and Entrees #2, #3, and #4. Had lunch a little late today, so we haven't had supper yet. Good to see ViolinTeddy back with us again after her technical difficulties of late. Will check my other puzzles after I leave here. Looking forward to whatever hints will follow in the next few days. Also, eventually we will have a President after all the ballots have been counted, but I'm not holding my breath. Remember Bush and Gore twenty years ago? Surprisingly though, they say Florida's handled this much better now. No surprise Trump is declaring fraud when he may not be winning this time. What a jerk. As for this week's puzzles, as always I wish you all good luck, good solving, stay safe, and be sure to wear those masks! Cranberry out!
THanks for your 'welcome back', PJB. And I completely agree with you (as do probably most on here) re what Trump is doing. Have been glad to see some of the networks actuallY CUT HIM OFF when he starts lying and trying to foment protests etc----anything to save his sorry hide's job, regardless of the consequences to anyone else!
DeleteWHERE has everyone else gone? It's Monday night and there are still only FIVE comments? Geo, GB, others?

LegoWhoSaysTheCityInEntree#6IsACapitalAndIsA betterPlaceToLiveThanOuterGabon
Wellll....was able to get the first Conundrum from the hint's help (and a bit of luck as to what popped into my head), and I THOUGHT I'd found the fictional city (which I've never heard of) from the hint, but I simply can't come up with a nine-letter rhyme to the first word, especially that is a synonym for the second rhyming word. AND starts with a "C".
DeleteCame up with a POSSIBLE answer for the WILL SLICE, but I'm not sure by any means.
I was referring to Entree #7 in the above post..sorry.
DeleteVT,
DeleteThe C-word (in Entree #7) that rhymes with the "Minnesota rodent" is normally used as a noun rather than verb. Think of a sweet movie starring Freeman, Tandy and Ackroyd.
LegoWhoNotesThatTheAuthorInQuestionWroteANovelWithATitleThatIsAHomophoneOfARockGroupFrontedByLivTyler'sPop
Got the Schpuzzle, Conundrum #2, and Entrees #1-#6. That's all I have so far. Can't think of any fictional cities in the US that would work. I only know Frostbite Falls, St. Olaf, and Lake Wobegon, all in Minnesota. But none of them fit the criteria.

Jesus spoke in parables. Half-a-millennium earlier there was a Greek guy who spoke in fables
Unbeatable Conundrums Appetizer:
1. Take the last word in an R.E.M. album title that was inspired by something Inspector Jacques Clouseau said after falling into a fountain.
2. You might find a penny, ketchup packet, or grains of sand on the automobile accessory.
3. "That's not a ____, Mr. Burgundy, it's a salamander!"
(Place Mr. Burgundy's first name after the word in the blank to get what sounds like the small spinner.)
4. The word meaning "possessed" begins with a 3-letter abbreviation for a political party and ends with what would seem to be a logical and shorter way of expressing "99" in Roman Numerals (instead of XCIX).
You “may” play with “Will” Slice:
Katrina and the Waves did this on sunshine. But Joey Scarbury (in the lyrics to the theme song for an ABC sitcom starring William Kattt) does exactly what the person who "gets the call" from NPR figuratively does.
Riffing Off Shortz Slices:
ENTREE #7
The fictional city's name =
(a 2,500-year-old Chinese game, or a square that is good to pass on a Monopoly board) +
(cube root of an age Paul McCartney sang about in his youth, but also an age Paul McCartney celebrated 14 years ago) +
(Something that often ends with an "Amen") +
(2.718...)
ENTREE #8
The two reasonably well-known fictional U.S. cities, each in two words of four and three letters, appear in a novel that has a title character portrayed by Robert Redford in a movie adaptation.
The first word in one city is a synonym of "left."
The first word in the other city is a synonym of "right."
The second word in both cities is someting edible that might be green, according to Ted Geisel... (well, maybe at Easter).
Squaring The Circle Dessert:
The three-word optimistic phrase has lately been in the news mouthed by a “lightning rod” named "Donald Lame Duck." It's his take on how we're doing in dealing with COVID-19.
LegoWhoIsPlayingACircleGameOnTheVictrola
Your Entree #7 hint above confirms that I came up with the correct fictional city (at last) last night, BUT I still have to figure out how to rhyme the first word with a nine-letter verb that means the same thing as the ONLY verb that can rhyme with the second word (and has to begin with "F")
DeleteAlso, I'm beginning to wonder if I have the WRONG answer for the Schpuzzle, given its hints, which I can't make any sense of.
DeleteEntree #7 reads:
DeleteFind a nine-letter rhyme of the first word and five-letter rhyme of the second word which are verbs beginning with a C and an F that are synonyms of each other.
The nine-letter rhyme of the first word that begins with a C is the "Driving Miss Daisy" verb. And five-letter rhyme of the second word that begins with an F is a homophone of what Puck and Tinker Bell are.
The Schpuzzle involves anagramming.
LegoSaysThatNeilYoungSangAboutA"CrippleCreekF____"
Indeed, I had the correct "F" verb already....but will try to figure out what the "C" verb might be from your latest hint. Thanks
DeleteOh, okay, I just got it.
DeleteHi all and especially welcome back, ViolinTeddy.
ReplyDeleteThis week's puzzles: The Mon hints gave me Conundrums #1,2,3. The Tues giveaways revealed the Will slice and (with a fair bit of research) Entrée #7. Had the others pre-hints. So am done.
: O ) Welcome back to you as well, geo. We were starting to worry where YOU were!
Delete"Neuntro" doesn't seem to be a word. Is it a synonym of the word? So far, now I have Conundrum #1, the Will Slice, and both Entrees.
ReplyDeleteNeunro?
ReplyDeletecranberry,
DeleteMy sincere apologies!
Conundrum #3 has nothing to do with a neutron. I was careless when I wrote that hint. It's not "electron" either. Thats negative thinking! I should have been thinking POSITIVE!
LegoWhoIsObviouslySubatomicallyChallenged!
cranberry,
DeleteConundrum #4:
Smack-dab in the middle of the word meaning "possessed" is the 3-letter abbreviation for the day the Mamas and Papas said you can't trust. The four remaining letters anagram to a word for "little cubes with pips on 'em."
LegoWhoPrefersBoxcarsToSnakeEyes
Got it! #4, not #3!
DeleteAnd now I've got #3!
DeleteAll I need now is the Dessert. Got another good hint for that one?
DeleteFor the Dessert, let's work backward:
Delete1. The nine-letter adjective starting with “n” is the kind of town the Dream Academy sang about.
2. The six-letter noun starting with “g” is something "common" that mediators and peacemakers seek.
3. The three-letter noun starting with “i” is slang for a diamond.
The three-word optimistic phrase begins with an R, T and C.

Miles, a marathoner, and his son Dan stay overnight at Uncle Zeke’s New England farm. The farm is a haven for night owls who roost ain the barn but “who” usually leave by morning. Dan, alas, is terrified of owls.
Miles wakes early the next morning and leaves to compete in the Boston Marathon. The owls, alas, don’t leave.
Zeke is concerned so he texts Miles at the 5-mile mark of the marathon: “Owls stayed. Dan whitens. Care?”
What deeper subliminal meaning might Uncle Zeke’s text contain?
Answer:
