The Best Laid Plans
"Cartoon mice must be of a different species from the filthy, disgusting, germ-ridden things I pay people to kill."
- Hillard Allen
Father's Day is such a cool day for me. I have a fun father and fun kids! (My grown children are always going to be "my kids", right?) As a child, my father instilled a sense of playfulness about the world around us. He spun stories while I washed dishes. He challenged me with riddles and brain teasers. He invented games. Today, Pop continues to inspire me with his prolific writing that he sends out to his movie trivia group. Still going strong at 90 years old!
As a father, I continued that tradition. All my kids are creative, and I take great pleasure in their productions. My hope is to continue to inspire them with my wacky and cool creations, even if they roll their eyes. LOL
Today's puzzle is about as wacky as they come. It's a connected set. Let me know what you think of it. As a special treat for my puzzle lovers, you get to see my story-telling side, too!
Puns For Groan Ups
My dad has been sending puns to his Movie Trivia mailing list. Why should they have all the fun? Here you go!
- Is John Payne a bathroom discomfort?
- Norman Fell into a Brad Pitt.
- Ted Knight and Doris Day teamed up as "Knight and Day".
- Gloria Grahame met the Ritz Brothers and they all went crackers.
- Rock Hudson liked Chris Rock but Chris preferred Sharon Stone.
- Karen Black seduced Albert Dekker and used him like a tool.
- Shelley Winters in Florida while Suzanne Somers in Europe.
- Does Janice Rule while Claude Rains?
- What makes Stacy Dash and Barbara Rush while Nancy and Helen are Walkers?
- Duncan Renaldo joined Robert and Peter Donat to form Duncan Donats.
Cheers,
Mitch
