@Amy I’m Sorry (pun intended)

@Mary I stuck with GIANT for too long

@Jamie S yes Stevie Wonder’s “Fingertips Part 2” did hit #1 when he was 13 but it did not DEBUT at #1. Before Billboard switched their chart tabulation methodology in 1991, there were zero records that debuted at #1. To chart fanatics like me, the Soundscan Era that began 33 years ago is like the B.C.-A.D. changeover, or baseball’s Dead Ball era. What used to be is statistically different now.

@Michael L I suppose it is a bit like getting a lesson on how to use a seatbelt every time you board a flight.

@Grant if you went to Mt Bachelor between November and June you went through Bend. In warmer months it’s possible your girlfriend knows the back way on Forest Service roads, in which case you should marry her.

@Jay Me too! There’s only one King Of Mambo

@CaptainQuaho Panini is wrong, it’s just tiring to explain anymore. If people want one panini you’s can have it.

@HeathieJ. I hated that clue, no car that comes from a factory is a Hot Rod. By definition a hot rod is a completely modified assembly from a variety of cars. The Pontiac GTO was the antithesis of a hot rod.

@Linda Jo if you haven’t heard of it, don’t get started. It’s wildly addictive.

@sotto voce given the recent outstanding documentary on Sly & The Family Stone, I would have loved to see their song M’Lady highlighted here.

@Steve Today’s comments are 85% WHAP based. So it can be used in a sentence.

@Karl Lash Up ain’t American, that is a grrrr here too. But I’d love to know what it’s called in Australia when a student with so-so marks aspires to gain entry to a prestigious school, but also applies to a back up they know they will be accepted to as a Safety School.

@James I try to keep my cries of NATICK to a minimum, but that one qualifies

@Jonathan Same! It’s not on the keyboard, and spelling “equals” as a rebus isn’t working either

@Haim Wright I think they got the Wednesday and the Thursday screwed up this week

@Cat Lady Margaret not me! Hated it!
