THEME: first word of a phrase can follow TIME to make its own phrases
GOOD ONES: Store posting {& theme} CLOSING TIME [the first word "closes" or follows TIME]
Woman often followed by a train BRIDE [I had a flash of
The Perils of Pauline, which given the divorce rate may have been a propos.]
BTW: Like baseball fouled into the seats OUT OF PLAY [needs "sometimes" since a fielder often reaches into the stands to make that "foul ball" an out]
Idiot NIMROD [Contrary to followers of Elmer Fudd, a NIMROD is a skilled hunter, not a fool. It has become slang to use the term the way it
appeared to be used in the cartoon. However, why the LAT would abet the misuse is a mystery.]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
