Nice one, Snowdog!
Good riddle, SD ....
I also enjoyed the Rebus (#51167) you posted. Especially stunned at the Eds acceptance of the word-snippet 'mation'.
If the Eds 'hold' to this, it opens a VAST new dimension of Rebussing.
I'd planned to follow-up on that (word pre- and ante- cedents) to see if Eds REALLY were ready to do that (accept such) or whether it was just another of their silly mistakes.
If it 'holds true' (and the Eds RARELY have recognized such as 'policy'), then ALL SORTS of syllables and phonemes (what I'm calling 'word snippets') could wriggle their way into new Rebuses.
Keep at it. Give us another one.
I know this comment will not be posted, so I'll flip it over to Jaye for posting.
Thanks for reading.
