Sorry, not much of a puzzle tonight. The content of this week's entry should be some indication of how productive I've been lately.
EDIT: No one seems to know what the hell I want here, so try solving this instead. Send answers to rrobintt@memphis.edu. 10 to first, 5 to second, 3 to third, 2 to fourth, 1 to fifth.
.....
oho! I think I got it!

I did, I did!
Nice Puzzle - as usual robrizob
Thanks a lot, robrizob! I wanted to get to bed early tonight!
[4] Sorry ;)
[5] As in "needing some sun."
Point winners for this puzzle:
Leadfoot-10
TheOneEye-5
Donimo-3
Mzblubrd-2 (nice puzzle tonight, btw)
Philana-1
How are people solving that puzzle? I can't even see it!
D'oh! Wish I'd checked back here last night. That was a nifty one, and only took me a few minutes.
[6] robrizob: Right. My point is that not everybody here needs some sun. Some of us couldn't be "pasty" if they tried.
[10] Oops!
For anyone wondering about the puzzle's solution, here it is:
The portmanteau "palindromedary" (palindrome and dromedary) clue that the puzzle has to do with palindromes, words that are the same backwards and forwards. Each set of letters becomes a palindrome with the addition of the same letter at the beginning and end.

Yâall are going to hate me for this week. Time sinks galore!
Rush hour: move the cars and trucks around to get your car out of the traffic jam. Thereâs an original meatspace version too. Very fun!
I stumbled across a few little adventure/puzzle games. In Swanâs Room, youâre trapped in a room and have to use the various objects to escape. Hapland is a âget-everything-set-just-right-and-watch-it-goâ game. But the most righteous one is Samarost 2. A little cutesy in places, but I liked it enough to spend another $7 for the full version. I didnât play the first in the series yet, but the goofy hookah-smoking character on the first screen intrigued me.
This yearâs World Puzzle Championship is in Rio de Janeiro. I didnât think theyâd let us pasty, logical types into a bronzed country like Brazil. We need a Tanganoid to represent us.
Anybody a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu fan? 5 Tanga points to the first submission in good shape.
