Title: Thu., 7/18 Julian Lim
Post by: magus on July 18, 2013, 10:02:00 AM
THEME:   last words of phrases are things one may ask for
   
GOOD ONES:    
Ignore warning {& theme}   ASK-FOR-IT   
Juice for Zeus   NECTAR [and the less lyrical but more beautiful hummingbird]   
Dash lengths   ENS [of course I thought YDS]   
Tiger's concern   BOGEY [of course I thought feline]   
   
BTW:   
Call for a pizza, say   ORDER-OUT [could it also be ORDER IN?]   
   
Mystify   ADDLE [addle means to confuse or mix-up; mystify is neither of those]   
   
"This means war!"   ITS-ON [far too vague, as it would be for "Have you made the soup?"  Maybe "Answer to 'Is it on or off?'" would work.   

Half an S-curve   ZAG [ZAG connotes angularity not the arc required to be part of the curve]

Abutting ISIDRO and (Hosea) BALLOU seems a bit unsporting, especially since Cat Ballou is a popular western.
   
RATING:  ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
