Brevity by Dan Thompson for January 03, 2012

You might think she’s a little square, but her look is usually quite well defined.

In fact, she hates to have an unfinished appearance.

Today her expression is rather blank….. maybe she’s a little down.

I’ve worked on her for a long time, and I know sometimes she has trouble getting her feelings across…

But I’ve never heard her say a cross word.

Whooeee, Susan, I’m at a loss for words.

better not mess up her style or there’ll be cross words

reminds me of the case of the constipated accountant

he worked it out with a pencil

What is an 11 letter word for planned schedule for a meeting or event? Starts wit A, ends with, i-n-t?

They say she has a checkered past….

3 down: Three letter word for belly dancers intrument.

Didn’t say earlier, but yeah, good ones TL, and C001, and then No 6 and Johnny, Celecca and Varnes…..

Oh, and Beau, of course….Though (ahem) you have stooped to new lows…..Or should I say squatted?LOL

Anyway you can see why I don’t always stop and point them all out (NO, that is NOT related to Mr. Honkus’ joke) …. there are just so many.

But I love them all.

Meanwhile…. Dave, and Ice tea, I guess you’re doing different puzzles from the one here, by the length of the words….

But Tea, it’s “OUD”…

And Dave, any chance of your “i” being incorrect? Cos my money’s on “APPOINTMENT”.

J Short…. when it comes to crossword puzzles, there are always more words. A great number of them.

When I feel clueless I just start listing them in my head, till I come across a useful one and write it down.

Thanks Yatman…. I can see it now….

“The Big Book of Silly Puns about Comics You’ll Never See”.

Didn’t sell, but got great reviews in the Masochist’s Club newsletter.

I always love Susan’s puns but although the drawing today is clever, no way any woman would want to dress that way unless possibly Ga Ga, because most of us at any age want to look attractive (not just weird).
