Post by: magus on June 16, 2014, 08:44:48 AM
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:    ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
