A curse on all that is green and clear, bright and white!

Hear, hear! And yeah, I wonder if Bob McFadden misread the line…
I suspect it was a mechanical fault, it would be all too easy for one tiny speck of something in the typewriter to make an n look like an r.
And I couldn’t remember if it was Slithe or Mumm-Ra who said it, so thanks for clearing that up!
OK, here’s the new puzzle:

Again, there’s a 50-50 there. Any A’s?
Neither, actually! It was the Living Ooze to Plutar—the unhygienic alliance.
Any Ts in the new puzzle?

Ah, right. I think I remember it now. I’m pretty sure I always heard “clean” anyway in that. I’ll have to watch it again. Then again I need to watch it all again as the continuity research seems to have been stirred up again, might be nice to finish the job!
“The book says no. But I never read that book.” [emoji55]
Applause! I thought this would take a while with all the short words! Well done Zax, your turn again!
WOW!!! That might be a record! Congrats Zax!
The punctuation clued me in, and “But I never” jumped out at me for some reason. We’ve also been playing this game for almost nine years, so… yeah, practice make perfect!
