Saturday or not, that’s no excuse for three naticks.
Never heard of DEALS outside of a used car lot. In cards, “the deal” is a collective term. After the deal, when players look at their hands, they’re looking at “the deal,” not “their deals.” There’s a difference between a valid answer and how words are predominantly used.
57A Cuisine with tom kha kai This translates to “spicy coconut soup with egg.” Most of the Thai food eating world prefers “tom kha gai,” which is the standard chicken version. ไม่เป็นไรครับ
22A - The First Amendment (the entire Bill of Rights, TBH) does not “grant” rights. It acknowledges and affirms inalienable rights postulated to exist. Sad to see this incorrect interpretation so close to Independence Day, but not surprised. It left a sour aftertaste offsetting this tasty ice cream sundae of a puzzle.
Revealer put me on the wrong track due to pronunciation variations of “buries.”
Thank you for the ZZ Top theme. One yet abides.
My itches don’t fly at night… 😎
56A square could be C or P. An EMAIL SCAM can be filtered. Something CAST is gone.
Workout? Thursday is the new Tuesday. Gives me time to clean the verdigris from my pre-1982 pennies.
I nominate 32A for Clue Of The Year. 👏
“I don’t think these answers will shave legs, Clem.” Anti-hoi polloi comment quota reached. Have fun!
I can produce some tingling sound samples regarding 31A.
Very enjoyable and clever. Too bad it didn’t run on a Wednesday.
@CCNY Naticks are traditionally known as crossing proper nouns. I only counted the three I didn’t get. Initially. Perhaps one day I’ll be good enough to wear a superiorly smug facade. :)
@Steve L - Sort of a “chicken or the egg” scenario? ;) Lack of legal authorization doesn’t invalidate what exists. There is no mention of kangaroos on Noah’s Ark. But this is a forum for xwords, not philosophy. I won’t belabor the point.
“HAS” in clue list and answers.
