Any puzzle where my initial foothold into the puzzle is "Derek and the Dominos" rates an A+.
This was impossible until it wasn't. Great Saturday puzzle!
Any puzzle that gives us the opportunity to relive "I'm Just Ken" is a winner. Fun puzzle!
Cute! And that's how Sue "C's" it.
I had totally given up, but decided to go to the Farmers Market to see if walking away and coming back gave me new insight to the lower left. and it worked!
@Sam Ezersky Hardest puzzle in a long time but SOOO satisfying to solve. Just the kind of puzzle I need to keep my aging brain clicking. Thank you!
This was impossible...until it wasn't. I feel very accomplished,. great puzzle!
WhenI worked at a Dairy Queen, the icees were called Mister Misty's.
Nice! And TIL where nacho came from.
Who, besides me, thinks Santa Clara before Santa Claus! Doh!
I was so hoping the "Putting On The Ritz" video would be from Young Frankenstein. Great puzzle!
Lots of fun! Good luck with all your future undertakings!
TIL - the origin of Sanka.
Deb- thanks for being the one who encouraged me to never give up on a puzzle. This has made my solving experience so much more fun. Will miss you.
A fresh clue for "Oreo"! Nice !
FLUTESOLO was one of the last fills for me, but as a former flautist, first in my heart!
Ernie! Of course - Rubber Ducky!
Gotta love a high school sophomore who appreciates Spinal Tap!
Is Pepsi OK ? is totally a thing. I don't think the question is asked as though Pepsi is inferior, but because people are usually very much either a Pepsi drinker or a Coke drinker. It was my favorite answer in the puzzle. Nice job!
I am reminded of that favorite phrase from Latin Class - Semper ubi sub ubi". Great Friday puzzle!
I'd heard of a triple double, so imagine my surprise when four double entries kept coming up...pivoted and solved. Fun puzzle!
As a former high school marching band member, I can still hear our band director in my head calling out "Parade Rest!"
TIL - Audi. Yesterday, Sanka. Love the NYT puzzles.
It was tough but fair. As a former restaurant worker, Sanka was my first fill!
I loved every square of this.
This was so clever and fun!
Elegant construction, public health, from New Jersey...what's not to love!
I can't believe I solved this! But am so appreciative of the workout and the cleverness of the construction!
It's like a "Reverse-Rebus" Thursday! N(ICE)!
@AudreyLM I almost did too, but my experience with these says don't ever give up. I had NOTHING for three or four passes but just started trying things, then walked away. 2 hours later, Happy Crossword music!
Happy Anniversary! Great Saturday puzzle!
TIL Zebras are black with white stripes.
I always take a moment to admire the Friday and Saturday grids before I start solving. And I agree, today's was very pleasing. Fun solve too.
My foot in the door was BANANASEATS. Tells you how old I am.
This was such fun and a very nice Sunday solve!
I'm with you, Deb, on Thursday puzzles. Sometimes they are impossible until they're not. Nice job, Simeon!
What a nice way to start a Wednesday! Love Brooklyn Nine Nine:)
Oh my gosh, after I finally solved this (don't know my tools) and then saw who authored this, I smiled from ear to ear.
LOVE LOVE Roman numerals!
@Connie TIL why UConn is called the Huskies. Thank you Connie.
So much TIL, and a fitting tribute to Edison.
When "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" couldn't be worked in for 37A, I soldiered on. Wonderful puzzle, hope you keep at it in college!
Clever and almost Friday hard!
Am I the only one who thought (and types in) "Susan" at first, for title Madonna role?
Crunchy good! Like a Nestle's bar.
I loved that I knew TODAYYEARSOLD right away.
@Nancy J. We must be around the same age...wiseacres (because wisenheimer didn't fit) for me.
