That one stumped me! Good teaser!
Thank you! The first time I saw it (about 20 years ago) I was stumped too.
Got most of it except for the Grate. An oldie but a goodie eh?
That's right, jimbo! Simply because I'm an oldie too (54 years old).*lol*
Cool teaser, I was thinking about all kinds of words; capital, large, big, but that doesn't make sense.
Wow--pretty amazing. I must need glasses because I didn't even SEE the colons.
Cool one. I'm never any good at language teasers.
