Okay...so...
Spoiler
When you botch something you say "DOH" and orgasm is "cum" so we get "dohcum".

Grammatically, "do" is an operator, so removing that leaves us with: "hcum"..?

Big hint:

Spoiler
There is an operator in || this sentence.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

CLICK!!!

Spoiler
MAGS!

Botched = jumbled
Orgasm - operator (or) = gasm
Rearrange to: MAGS

Correct!  Now someone make an easy one for me. (roll)

Borat?  And if that's right, are we now conflating the two best competitions the Rumpus Room has ever seen? :=

No...but...

Spoiler
You got the nuclear agency name right, and the way to use the "B"...A step is missing somewhere though...

A reasonably sexy forum member is correct so your answer is acceptable...NEXT!!!

Very well.

Spoiler
"Agency entrusted to detect incoming nuclear missiles" = NORAD, and "retro" = backwards, thus "DARON".  "Initially" =first (ie first letter), and "B-grade" refers to the letter B, implying a substitution of the first letter with a 'B'.  I think the "movie" bit was just a cover to hide the clues.

Hahaha! I just flashed back to high-school maths tests...

Yeah...I know I'm usually the one asking to see the figuring. (laugh) I'm not asking because I think the answer wasn't properly worked out or anything. I ask because I'm interested in how easy/hard/stupidly impossible different parts of my puzzle were for my own study of puzzle making (both cryptic and otherwise).

Exactly!

Exactly, it's all about understanding the logic behind it, otherwise my simple brain remains dumbfounded as to how the clues relate to the answer. Very well played though sirs.

QuoteHey!

Seconded, who can resist that monocle.

I will admit that the monocle IS a very hip part of Baron's appeal...But...

I dunno...It doesn't quite push him over into the "racecar-in-the-red" zone for me in my current life-phase of sexuality...

Maybe I just need another couple of years here for it to bring on the full effect? :P

Correct! Okay, that's the easy ones you asked for... Someone come up with a doozy please!!!
