I don't understand people's complaints. I thought this was fun and clever and totally Thursday-appropriate! nice work! (also no animation but I don't care)

i liked it! it was weird and hard! it's good for us to have to think differently sometimes!

Dear complainers: You live in the world. This has been a significant and persistent part of pop culture for FOUR DECADES. Don't blame the constructor or editors for your willful ignorance. I haven't played this game since 1989 and yet somehow I knew all of it.

Excellent puzzle! One nit to pick: I would argue "ABLATE" does not mean to remove surgically. Ablation is killing tissue without removing it, and often non-surgically! Radioablation uses focused radiation beams that converge with sub-millimeter precision to kill aberrant tissue, particularly in the heart to stop arrhythmias. Some people had EXCISE, and I had RESECT until the very end, both of which are more consistent with the clue.

just a fantastic puzzle. bravo!

I cringed at OCTOPI but after the challah line, all is forgiven. 😂😂 Fun one, especially for me as a former chronic rhinitis sufferer, and a Sunday record 14:02

This is a remarkable achievement. To pull off this grid with clean, fun fill is very very impressive. Love it!!

maybe it was the two hits of blotter acid several hours earlier but I found this to be a challenging and lively Friday. brava to the creators!

Fantastic puzzle and I'm sorry to the constructor that so many commenters seem to project their own inadequacies or personal frustrations in the comment section.

Extraordinary work, Bryan!!! I hope we see many, many more puzzles from you for many, many years.

what a masterpiece. LOVED getting 1A without crosses. Try not to step on any VELVET WORMs while you're Stompin' at the SAVOY (Benny Goodman swing hit, 1936)

what a reveal!! bravo!!!

My 30 down was 3:33, 5s off my best

really outstanding! so glad the creator kept trying!

that felt like a physical workout and i loved it! i’m so glad i didn't yield to the Google urge. Bravo!
