Fly ball as the clue for 36 across is one of the funniest I’ve seen in a while—any day of the week. Thanks for the laugh!

Laugh out loud fun—thank you!! Not sure why or where DISCODUCK was living in the recall unit, but it was immediately at the ready—probably where the periodic table or french verb conjugations should have been.

A little blue and a lot of fun. TEN OUT OF TEN. Thank you!!

Loved, loved this fun Sunday! TIL about SAL soda, and now know more than desirable about taxidermy.😳 If you watched Phineas and Ferb, you’ll never forget the AGLET. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_DuY0CQUz4" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_DuY0CQUz4</a>

Wow. It’s Adrian’s puzzle, and we’re just living in it—thank you for a fantastic ride! When our boys’ frontal lobes were still forming in their late teens, we occasionally (affectionately!) referred to them as the Law Firm of GOOBER and GOOBER, so particularly loved that entry.

The little headlight beams on the Zamboni, though!!! A triumphant debut. Congratulations and thank you, John.

Thank you for a super fun Thursday! Very reluctant to let go of “Waterlilies” for 17 across. Loved the M*A*S*H reference—must see TV with Mum growing up.

Sigh, how I love Billy BRAGG. I saw him open for Echo & the Bunnymen when I was 14—my first real concert. He was beautifully gritty and soulful, and I was fully crushing by the end of his set. Thanks for a happy soak in the hot tub time machine.

So fun! Thank you for a terrific start to the day. The Zamboni a while back was the tops, but the little graphics in this one are so great, even if only viewable on one’s PERSE-PHONE. And who doesn’t love pockets—especially in dresses and skirts? Ralph Lauren has definitely made JODHPURS part of the American vernacular.

Rest, recuperate and feel better, Deb!❤️‍🩹 Kudos and thanks for rising to the occasion, as ever. Hope someone is bringing you medical-grade chicken soup (with loads of ginger)!

There’s often a wonderful wink in Friday puzzles, and today is no exception. Many thanks, Karen, for USINGTHEOLDBEAN! TIL about LAR/lares and now feel the house is missing something.

Loved the tree!🎄Thank you for a sweet first gift in the hush before joyful chaos to come. Blessings and peace, one and all.

Sigh—a fabulous Robyn Weintraub Friday—what could be better?? Still remember her Friday, October 5, 2018 puzzle with total fondness. Just learning to do the puzzle then, and watching it unfold was a delight.

Oof. Well averageabove.
