Let's face it, I don't need 60 senators to tell me last week's ScuttleButton was ridiculously easy to solve. Nearly everyone got it right. But, as always, there's only one winner to announce.
First things first: Here's how to play.
It's easy. Just check out my button puzzle each Friday. Take one word or one concept per button, add 'em up, and arrive at a familiar saying or a name. (Seriously: a saying that people from Earth might be remotely familiar with.) If there is one or more buttons horizontally, it's a clue that I'm looking for something plural. Submit your answer and hope you're the person chosen at random. That's it!
Oh wait. You MUST include your name and city/state to be eligible.
And also remember, the answer does not necessarily have to be political. For instance, the answer to a puzzle a while back was "Minnesota Twins" — not political at all, unless you're thinking Mondale and Humphrey instead of Killebrew and Oliva.
Here are last week's buttons, in case you forgot:
I'm Part of the Oral Majority — A wise-ass button response to the Moral Majority, circa 1982.
2 Robert Kennedy presidential buttons on the same line — Kennedy was killed moments after declaring victory in the 1968 California primary.
So, when you add Oral + 2 Robert buttons, you might end up with ...
Oral Roberts — the televangelist who died this month.
This week's winner, chosen completely at random, is (drum roll) ... Jeff Grill of Mobile, Ala.
