DeleteNice "self-riff," Plantsmith. Thanks for posting it.
DeleteLegoAProponentOf"SelfRiffery"
Take the last name of a well-known firm and television actor. (His first name anagrams to a kind of story.)
DeleteNow add one letter to the front of the last name, and add the next letter of the alphabet between what are now the third and fourth letters.
Finally, add a copy of the letter you first added between what are now the fourth and fifth letters. You will end up with a sequence of letters that can be divided in half to make a two-word phrase that actors typically are happy to hear. Who is the actor, and what is the two-word phrase?
MY PROGRESS SO FAR:
ReplyDeleteI've solved Appetizer #3, the Slice, and Entrees #6 and #9-#13. I know who the hero is in the Dessert, as well as the original idiom, but I'm having trouble with the four-word anagram result. BTW Supposed to be bad weather later today, so we may not eat out. If it does get better and we do, I'll provide details in my usual "first post" style, even though it will, in actuality, be the second.
DeletepjbUpToCatchThe"EarlyBird"Special(What?WormAgain!?)
Well, now here I am again! Where is everybody?
DeleteThe bad weather was early this morning until about noon. I had trouble sleeping late last night, and the weather's starting up didn't help much at first. Mom and I are fine. We survived it(she slept better than I did), and just now we've returned from a pizza place downtown called "The Pie Factory". Delicious. Mia Kate suggested it, but then backed out of going because, to hear Bryan tell it, she was "PMS-ing". So we had Maddy join us for once, since she wanted to go in the first place. Hadn't seen her in a while, but she's not as talkative as Mia Kate. I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch Calzone, the House Salad with ranch dressing, and a Diet Pepsi; Mom had the Philly Cheese Steak Calzone and a Starry(Pepsi's version of a Sprite); Bryan had a "Yellerbelly"(pizza topped with meatballs, peppers, and some kind of cheese, for the most part)and a Starry, and Maddy had a "Build Your Own Pizza", which she chose topped with pineapple and some other also unidentified cheese(I didn't hear her very well when she ordered the individual toppings, but I recognized the pineapple)and a Starry. Not much to talk about, although we are trying to get me out of jury duty, which is now conflicting with my sleep study that week next month. Medicare and Mom's need to rest when she's grocery shopping(benches in Aldi, scooters in Winn-Dixie), that sort of thing was discussed. We were also seated near a big gumball machine, which a few kids were interested in, and somebody else brought in two dogs who were having fun under the table where their family was seated. Took a while to get our checks though, and we almost considered "dining and dashing", but we didn't. We did leave just as the live entertainment was starting, however. Sounded like country music. Got out just in time. For my progress, kindly check my first post above.

DeleteThey took us to lunch at Petite Provence Bistro in Woodstock-where i had a Monte Cristo with cajun- crab bisque-. Very spicy.
Nice place though with wonderful pastries. Pastisserie.
One of my younger son's class mates in high school- Alex went to Morehouse. He is now on Wallstreet and doing very well - so i am told pretty well.
My goodness, Plantie, welcome back to Oregon!
DeleteGot the Schpuzzle, all 3 Apps, the Hors d'Oeuvre, and most of the Entrees. Missing the Slice, Entrees #1-3 and 5. Also don't have the slang term in #7 and the body part in #8 doesn't make sense to me (possible I have both of these wrong). Like pjb, I have the hero and the original idiom for the Dessert, but can't make the rest work.
DeleteNice progress, Tortitude (and others here... on some somewhat tough puzzles),
DeleteEntree #7:
First off, the "word for a bone or other skeletal body part" in Entree #6 is the title of a Peter Gabriel album, but spelled in reverse.
The "the letters of the second part in reverse" are a homophone of the type of music created by Aretha Franklin.
Entree #8
The three-letter below-the-belt body part is also something "spare" one might see standing at the end of an indoor alley.
The two letters you add to the end are the initials of the author of the line, "Do I dare to eat a peach?"
The two letters you add to the three-letter body part – one at the beginning and the other at the end – are the initials of an author surnamed Hinton.
Dessert:
You have already determined that the initial letters of the five words in the idiom are; NGDGU.
The initials of the "four-word requirement imposed on a mythological hero who lost his sight after he sought to do the right thing by ending a plague" are ONDH. You know what the "O" stands for.
The "N-word" pertains to the word "requirement."
The D and H words are an adjective and noun that are kinda redundant.
LegoHopingThis Helps
Lego, is that first hint for Entree 6 or 7? First it says it's for 7, but then the hint refers to Entree 6. You replied to a post from Tortie, and she said she was stuck on 7, not 6 (same here). Thanks.
DeleteAlso, my three-letter word for Entree 8 isn't a body part for everyone and, if it is, it isn't always below the belt.
DeleteI wasn't sure about #8, but I guess I was right after reading the hint. #7 still seems rather convoluted with the hint.
DeletepjbHasTheSecondWordInTheDessert,DependingOnThePresentOrPastTense,ButThat'sAllSoFar
I have #8 correct, although I've never heard of this part of the body before. Also, #7 is correct, although I still don't have the slang term.
DeleteJust got Entrees #3, #5, and #7, even though Lego didn't file them under HINTS. Oh well, old habits die hard.
Deletepjb'sStillGettingUsedToTheNewBathroomLayout,SoHeFullyUnderstandsAboutAcceptingChanges
I have all but the Hors d'Oeuvre (I have several solutions that work but I'm sure aren't the "intended" answer), Entree 9, and the last two words of Oedipus' four-word requirement.
DeleteGot #9 and I see why "often" was used.
DeleteProgress so far: I've only just a couple of minutes ago checked into P! for this week and am pleased to say that I hit on the right word for the Schpuzzle on my second try, and have thus solved it. May well be 'it' for the week for me, but at least it is something!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that it involved one of my very favorite words!
DeleteAnd just got Planties first appetizer....
Deleteguess i timed the weather right as gorgeous out today and we went to the Rhododendron garden at Reed college.
DeleteLego, you forgot to put these in the now-empty HINTS section! : o )
DeleteI THINK the Slice hint gave it to me....was close last night, actually. Had also gotten the Hors D'O and the other two Appetizers last night. But all the entrees look like too much to tackle (for this new 'me'.)

OK, I have #7 slang term now. I have never heard of that applied to body parts before.
DeleteIs it the same as the "automobile" slang? I don't think I've ever heard that word applied to body parts either.
DeletepjbKnowsItWouldAccuratelyApplyToAllThe"Flintstones"CastWhenTheyAreDriving,Perhaps

Darn! I thought of "Oedipus needs doggone hound" too but I rejected it because I figured Oedipus can't currently have "needs" since he's long since passed away. But except for that, I do think that answer makes sense -- he was blind, so he needed a seeing eye dog.
