I hoping I'm not in the dog house.

Hi Pen

      

 

My rebus is a quote from a Monty Python movie.

4 #6 3 1 #7 3 4 #6 #5 2 #11

Your was a and your of  

Conceptually one line.  If you have a choice go for the adult.

Picture 4.  You need a homograph (that is a word spelt the same but with a different meaning).  As the fish is found in the northern hemisphere, I have added picture 6 as another homograph associated with ironworks for the benefit of the antipodeans.

And I’ll leave you with a picture of Bonnie taking a break on her walk.  3 ½ years old today.   Doesn’t time fly?

You need a homophone (that is a word spelt the same but with a different meaning).

make a homophone of picture two. 

Hi Jack

It's bitterly cold here today.  Just been to the local shop to get some eggs and, stupidly, didn't wear a titfer.  My eyes were streaming and my ears have frost bite 

What a smashing picture of Bonnie   Can't believe she's three and a half    Where does the time go?

I feel a bit of a pillock   Have I been getting it wrong all this time?  I consulted Ms Google but she wasn't a great deal of help.

Your second cartoon made me roar with laughter - it was the cat that did it 

A great rebus    I haven't seen the film for quite a while.  My rebus is a quote from another film which I love and must watch again 

#1 #2 #7 - #3 #4 #4 #2 #7


First word sounds like.  Please lose the last letter of picture two and reverse what's left.  Please use the first three letters of picture three and add an s to picture four. You need the American spelling for picture six and replace the fourth letter with an apostophe. Please change the first letter of picture seven and use the last two letters of picture eight. You need the first name of the (title) character on the right in picture nine and please pretend it's all on one line. Hope it's ok.  I've checked, checked and checked again

         

That's it from me - I feel like

Hi Pen,

I am the pillock.

I meant homograph not homophone.  I have corrected it. Have you got room in the dog house for me?

The difference between homophones, homographs, and homonyms are:

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and may or may not be spelled differently. Examples: by, buy, bye; write, right.

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings or pronunciations. Examples: bow (noun), bow (verb); lead (metal), lead (verb).

Homonyms are words that are both homophones and homographs, or either one or the other. Examples: bear (animal), bear (verb); rose (flower), rose (past tense of rise).

If there is anyone else who celebrates The Nativity (Christmas) today, a happy and blessed Nativity to you.

We didn't have a white Christmas here on 25 December, but it is now a lovely white since yesterday.

Have you got room in the dog house for me?

Of course I have Jack.  We can enjoy a bottle of Sauv Blanc from your neighbours across the way     Love the cartoon 

Thanks for the proper explanation    I got my knickers in a twist with the somewhat unhelpful Ms Google!

Work tomorrow and it's going to be scrapey scrapey in the morning   Hope I can find my de-icer or my trusty scraper!  Still I'm very thankful we haven't got the white stuff that TRex has! These are for you TRex

Hi Jack



Here I am on fracture clinic and the waiting room's packed already and it's not even half past nine yet!

Today's puzzle is a film from the 1970's.  It has a 96% rating on rotten tomatoes which is almost unheard of. 

#3 #3 9 (5 + #4)


Character played by George Burns in picture one and then please reverse it.  Position is vitally important.

         

Kylie told me that Blue and Sheila were enjoying a stroll this morning.  Their local Vicar passed them and then turned round and said "I didn't see you in church yesterday Blue.  I heard you were playing football.
Blue replied "That's not true Vicar ... and I have the fish to prove it!"

Nearly lunchtime hurrah    Leave you with a silly joke 

[Ozzyjack]

Position is vitally important.

Hi Pen,

I am not convinced you have your positioning right.

 

Blue was the guest of honour at a Logan District Lions Club dinner.  He was being honoured the for the volunteer work he had put in cleaning up after the last big flood and he had to give a speech.  He was about to deliver his speech when Sheila, sitting at the other end of the table, sent him a piece of paper with the word “KISS” scribbled on it. 

A guest seated next to Blue intercepted the note and announced to the gathering, “His wife has sent him a KISS before he begins his  speech. She must love him very much.”
Blue responded, “I am sure she does, but the letters stand for “Keep It Short, Stupid.”

Thanks! There has been a little melting, but things have remained white, which I find more pleasant than grey and brown. Forecast is for four to eight inches starting tonight.

We had a bit of sleety stuff this afternoon but nothing much.  I don't mind watching the snow if I'm sitting indoors looking out of the window!  I don't enjoy turning out at 7am in the dark and having to clear my car before heading off to work.  Keep safe and warm TRex

I don't enjoy turning out at 7am in the dark and having to clear my car before heading off to work.

Quite understandable. I have the advantage of retirement! I go clear the car when I feel like it!

Hi Pen,

When I was a young man I used to favour an expression there are more ways of skinning a cat than choking it with butter.  I was very intolerant of old men who thought they had the right answer without giving due weight to alternative solutions.

I thought about what I wrote about your last rebus, and I realised I had become the old man I used to be intolerant of.  I would have used your pictures in a different order and therefore did not consider immediately that your order could also give the same answer.  So, I hope my comments did not spoil your satisfaction of developing a great rebus.

This is a post on the run as we are having a special celebration today.  But I must include your favourite cartoons.

 

And I’ll leave you with this


This might amuse you

Hi Jack

Thanks for your lovely post - I hope you enjoyed your celebration earlier     Are you sharing more details? 

I love that expression!  I would just say 'there's more ways to skin a cat' but the butter makes it funny.  It wasn't until you queried it that I thought about it being put in a different order.  Makes sense and certainly didn't spoil anything

I'm rushing off to lunch now but, hopefully, I'll return this afternoon.

Hi Jack.
I did wonder at your comment, as I thought I had the answer. And apparently I did.
Now, stop worrying about having OCD (old, cranky and dangerous) and just enjoy the ride!
