Jumbled word game #2

(moderation:
Okay, by (un)popular demand, here it is, the next round of: Einstein's very own, totally separate from the one on the server in Berkeley, jumbled word game.
Simple rules:
Winner posts a jumbled word or phrase.
Other people try to unjumble it.
The first person to do so, after it is confirmed by whoever posted it, posts the next word. If the poster doesn't confirm it within a reasonable time and the solver is absolutely sure, he/she may post the next one without confirmation.
Multiple posts, and multiple guesses within a post ARE allowed.
Silly definitions of obviously incorrect solutions are mandatory and will always be appreciated.
If no one gets it after a day or two, the poster may give hints.
Discussion of anything posted in the thread is allowed at any time, although it should stay at least somewhat related to the posts.
It is highly suggested that the poster either write down the correct word or send her/himself a PM with it.
Responses must be 'kid friendly' etc, etc, or they *will* be moderated.
Use of an internet word scrambling/descrambling site is considered cheating.
The new jumbled word is:

Um..... the idea was really to just post the new word to the same thread. But whatever.
Gotta run, the cat's hacking something up.

- If the game becomes popular, a single thread becomes unwieldy quite quickly.
- It's good to have guesses, clues, banter for a particular jumbled word differentiated from previous ones (I would think - others may disagree).
- A lot fewer posts to browse through if you're trying to make sense of previous tidbits and clues/comments.
Are there any disadvantages from having separate threads? I've never got involved in this sort of stuff before so I apologise if I'm breaking some sort of 'tradition' for how this is supposed to be structured. I can easily amalgamate the posts if that's what people expect.
Cheers,
Gary.

Yes... keep each session of brain battering contained - prevent thread ooze :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I'll pop in a sluice hole & plug, plus a high pressure hose outlet. I'll get one from our local car wash.
vegiestrainrot : juicing gone off.
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Does anyone else use a drive-through car wash that has three colours of liquid soap - pink, blue and green - that gives the great 70's psychedelic wiggly lines on the windows? We have one in Chum Creek and boy is it a hit with the locals on Saturday nites. It has single-handedly doubled the main street traffic.
Yes, Sleepy Hollow thy name is Chum Creek. But not this morning. Three doors down an early raid by ~ 10 plain clothes coppers in unmarked cars entering the property quiet and quick with Glock's drawn in one hand and warrants in the other. Told my wife to go the other way with our dogs and have a good long cuppa with her Mom in town for an hour or five. No shots, but alot of nice recently acquired assets now elsewhere : three new cars, a new boat and new caravan. And a young lad in custardy.

No rotten vegies here!
Was that the good thick yellow and gloopy stuff or the pink blue green foetid slime from the car wash drain?

It's 'cos of Quantum. We're doing an interference experiment. Trying to make ripples in spacetime on the sly. :-0 :-)

I don't suppose it really matters, and given that Bernd still hasn't introduced thread paging, perhaps it's a good idea.
So like I said, whatever.

I thought of another, but now I don't remember what it was and I'm too sleepy to think about it.
