Simple premise, but (hopefuly) takes a bit more time and thought than the other word games. Simply rearrange the description to form the answer. For example, the answer to "Pubs Motto" = "Bottoms up!". You must use all letters from your clue and no more in the answer and vice versa. OK here's the first of mine...

"That is very low..."

Close... here's another clue: "What a vile story!"

Answer is slightly different but only by one letter.

Do you guys give up? Maybe some clues will help?

Keifer had one word correct in his answer. It is a form of entertainment that, as per the clues, I consider to be very low and vile (in most cases). Others may disagree, but most should at least get a chuckle out of the answer I hope...

Of course, those are not my words in describing this particular culinary preparation. Heck once, I had people passing their dessert down the aisles to my seat. True say. I ended up with 12 apple pies with cheddar cheese. :))

Of course, that was after depleting the reserves of wine and rye and scotch.
