PUZZLE #571
EAT YOUR WORDS 11
In this puzzle, the words hinted at by the numbered clues (The "Numbered Words") can "eat" a word hinted at by a different set of clues (The "Eaten Words") without rearranging any of the letters. For example, the word BIT can eat the word AND to form BANDIT. All of the new words are entered into the grid in the order of the Numbered Words, and the Eaten Words are in no particular order.
Once all of the new words have been placed, the letters in the highlighted third column will spell out two more words. Insert one of the column's new words into the other to get the FINAL ANSWER: A brand name
NUMBERED WORDS
1) Ctrl-V, in Microsoft Paint
2) Failed to tell the truth
3) "_____ Day of My Life" (only hit song by American Authors)
4) Bro's sib, assuming it's not another bro
5) Three Stooges member who often goes "Woo woo woo woo!"
6) Seventh word in "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep"
7) Flamingo's flapping appendage
8) Sword-wielding, Spanish-speaking feline from Shrek 2, for short
EATEN WORDS
• Bad guy or gal, in pro wrestling slang (or the back of a foot)
• "___ bin ein Berliner" (JFK quote)
• Emit light, like the sun
• Many miles away (HINT: it still has the same definition if you remove its first letter)

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
