Very fun puzzle! Thank you

Overall a very fun puzzle. Hopefully the NYT can correct the error about Paracelsus

Beautiful stacks! One of my favorite Fridays in a minute. That said - almost tore some hair out at times :)

This one was a delight! Such great spans. Hard for me to find an entry point at first, but then it became much smoother sailing. Had BEAST for BEAUT for a bit and was scratching my head on how to solve the down... SOURSON is fantastic

Not a tough one, but definitely a fun one! Loved some of the clues

Octopi is incorrect usage and indicative of either a poor education or a poor memory of Greek. Either way it shouldn't be in the Times

After getting the initial G, I was confused about why 35A had too many squares for GIANT, then realized I had the wrong picture in mind!

Just a fantastically fun solve. Really clever tricks, fun clues.... all around great time!

Quite a fun, quick solve. Must admit, I got it on the crossings and did not unlock the theme till the end...

This was a beautiful puzzle (and I don't just say that because I have spent the last week hiking in the Mosel and seeing where a "bunch of fruit" grows)! I figured out the trick before I did the revealer, and then it was relatively quick work. Still- longer than average solve for a Thursday. What a fun headscratcher!

Been a long time since I commented. Logged on to say this was a beautiful, fun, and often quite funny puzzle!

Really a very fun puzzle. Not the hardest, but it made this punster laugh

Quite a quick one and very satisfying to get RIGAMAROLE and CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM each with very few crossings! All around fun for a Saturday

Many laugh out loud clues. Water tower? was one. One complaint is "I Bars". An acceptable but non-normal usage. Still, quick puzzle for a Saturday

SAMEDAYDELIVERY was very fun. Good time all around!

Even post reveal, still a bit of a challenge (23min). That said, a super pleasurable puzzle to solve! Really clever use of Thursday's permission to experiment

Really enjoyed this one. Came to complain about en dash... but really no need. A nice, clean puzzle with plenty of fun included!

I gasped with excitement when I saw the grid. Was never disappointed by the fill. 55 seconds over average time, and I enjoyed each one of those seconds!

As a fellow Geoff - with a G(!) - I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Rather tough, as I don't eat cereal, but still a lot of fun

This was a very fun one, thank you!

Mostly enjoyable and quite quick, but BS METER does not detect absurdity. It detects dishonesty. If even the Times editors cannot tell the difference between the two, then we're in a bad place literacy-wise!

Perec would be happy!
