I'm sorry. I just can't do it. I am unable to pronounce his name. And I type phonetically.

That is so sad...

OK but I can't stay up to give more clues. (But this is easy so...)

It looks like Albedo unscrambled this but for some reason is being coy about it. So if I say the answer is WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE, NOR ANY DROP TO DRINK, does it mean that I win this round, or is Albedo the winner (she obviously knew the answer), or is it possible that the real winner is Sam Coleridge?

Was that Sam Coleridge-Taylor or Sam Taylor Coleridge. Yeah, we know which one but they were both winners dontcha think.

Way to go AoL and Nym. You are both winners in my book.(You too, Arch) Well you're not really in my book...

And as for the Rev... well some of those letters fit and they fittingly end up as whiner... or as a person of the German persuasion might say, Meckerpott

I'm willing to give this round to Albedo, so if she'll log on and post a new scramble, I will gladly concede so the rest of us can endeavor to solve her undoubtedly ticklish puzzle.

Benjamin Franklin would not approve of my habit of getting up at the crack of noon on Saturday, but he would give me props for my industriousness when I am finally up.
