The volleyball theme triggered me a bit! I am one of the many 70s kids who wasn't athletic, and suffered in PE class for it. But one of two of my shining moments in PE was volleyball, serving the ball [just] over the net three times and watching the other team just stand there, as they were sure every time that I wouldn't make it. And we won by the margin I provided. !!! Never happened again. Thank you for letting me relive my short-lived triumph!
Love you Deb. Your tone in Wordplay kept me here, as my skills increased. You got me through marital infidelity. Covid. Deaths. One of my lifelines is this silly puzzle every day. Now I think I’m a lifer! Best wishes for your next puzzle. I don’t think they ever stop!
@Elke I agree - what's wrong with a TACO PIE?
@Barry Ancona I agree. I found myself wondering if they could govern two sets of clues, as they do for Fridays. I’m all for getting more people doing crosswords but not at the expense of a good challenge! Thank goodness I still have a way to go in the archive.
I enjoyed this very much! I had to have the wordplay explained to me; I could not parse it myself. Usually that annoys me but even with the explanation I had to putz around a bit to figure it out. And then it clicked! Lots of entertaining clues surrounding the main event. A very satisfying solve for me.
Perhaps I am splitting hairs here… 🙄 I believe alpacas produce fibre (or fiber) not wool. Suitable distinction for a Friday?
Red that as “give us” two sets of clues… good ol’ autocorrect!
How is FWNEONAP pronounced? fwa-? Google is not helping me!
