      From the Official M&A Help Desk Dictionary:

      "chops |CHäps|
      plural noun informal
      1 a person's or animal's mouth or jaws: a smack in the chops.
      • a person's cheeks; jowls.
      2 the technical skill of a musician, esp. one who plays jazz: when I'm on tour, my chops go down."

    Hi, gang!

    I have solved a bunch of runts while away, but usually seem to fall asleep before finishing most of them, I haven't posted my solves...

    It took two cracks at "Rock Climbing" to finish it. Having fun in Europe. We drove from Tuscany to Lake Maggiore today. Our hotel room balcony view is Isola Bella, the moon is full. And I am passing the time solving a runt!

    OK, sports fans. This next one's a blatant "stunt puz". Worse yet, M&A suspects he did part of this gimmick before, sometime.
    Even worster yet, I suspect this might be a super biter. Sooo … apologies, in advance, just in case.

      At least I did allow 15 min., just in case.

      I must have the munchies ..... This popped up courtesy of Google while googling an answer from the previous runt. I had no idea about 'Runtz' before seeing this. @M&A, before your head swells, they are NOT referring to crosswords. I found it quite funny. No, I am not stoned.

      https://heyemjay.com/runtz-strain

      What are the effects of Runtz?
      Runtz has a calming, happy mind high tempered by full-body relaxation that spreads over your body in waves. As the high settles in, your body will also settle into the couch, and in just an hour or two, you’ll feel ready for bed. The high level of THC in Runtz is great for treating chronic stress, chronic pain and insomnia, or just letting your mind melt away while listening to some music or watching TV. Bottom line: there’s a very good reason Leafly picked this weed to represent 2020, the year we all suffered chronic stress and needed to find happiness and peace stuck within our own homes. And it’s not just because Runtz tastes so darn good.
