@Shrike Once you accept "eelier," you're completely at one with the crossword puzzle universe. š
My mother made a list every morning. First thing on the list was always "make list." When she finished, she already had one item to cross off. Great way to start the day! šš»
Erma Bombeck twice in one week? It's gonna be a good week. šš»
Once upon a time, in Saturday morning TV Land, Wilma, Jane and Woody Woodpecker came to us in shades of black, white and gray. Not REDHEAD in sight! š¤£š¤£š¤£
Sputnik was a real gem in this one. But ARE takes the prize!! : )) Thanks.
EGGPLANT? Really ?? Oh, my! No wonder I get the side-eye in the produce department. š³
I plead Boomer handicap. We thought Wilma and Jane were "black and white" heads! š¤£š¤£š¤£
We're getting ready to move and I can cross words only when my husband isn't looking - because I should be involved in packing-related activities AT ALL TIMES. š But still determined to finish the puzzle before the end of the day, with little or no damage to marital discord. š
@Molly in Wake Forest Does anyone remember when Lionel corrected Mike on the difference between the two words in an All in the Family episode? A Rob Reiner moment. š
A baseball entry I can solve without asking my husband!!! Am I dreaming?!?! š¤£ š¤£š¤£
Seems to me only a real SLEAZO would actually use that word. š
Y'all, I twisted my brain silly but could not make my MAIDENFORM BRA fit in or around the spaces. š Fun puzzle! Thank you.
@redweather regardless/irregardless flammable/inflammable Let's call the whole thing off! šš»
Eel pot?! How on earth did I know that one?! Sometimes the puzzle delves into some very weird crevices of the brain. š¤£
@Vaer The parliament of OWLs votes "Yes!" for Dumbledore Week. š¦š¦š¦š¦
I just knew "gobsmacked" was going to come in handy some day!! šš»š
I puzzled over OTOH. But I sure remember the days of ONCD! š š¦
Ok, my brahs. Let's hear your thoughts about prog rock. š
How did I miss the whole "this is fine" culture?! Ask my grown children: I am THE QUEEN of "this is fine" ! š¤£ Thank you. : ))
PERFECT for today!! Wrestling with the turkey is enough of a challenge. This was fun. Gobble, gobble everyone! š
@Francis Oh, my. On our interminable summer road trips from Duluth to Pittsburgh, we had bundles of books on cassettes, and then CDs, switching them out as we drove. Carefully keeping track of each one because they were from the library, of course. Dr. Zhivago consumed the entire drive. š I LOVE Libby, the library's free audiobook streaming app! šš»
Music titles might be challenging, but I sure know my shampoos. š Fun puzzle!
MELON! Sweet. Oldie but goodie. š
Starting the week with Robert Benchley means it's going to be a good week. šš»
@Helen Wright And xcx is not a real Roman numeral but some guy named Charli keeps using it!! š
@Jack Good point. I'm still working on Mr. Mxyzptlk without much success. š
Show of hands from all the teens-at-heart who got the Poindexter clue right away! š¤£
Cheers to the English Comp nun who patiently explained the difference between "infer" and "imply!" šš»
That's it! I'm keeping an index card with the names of every rapper that shows up. That particular musical made-up-word genre is the Lord's gift to crossword puzzle makers. š
LOWART is high praise for kitsch. : /
FIDO ! It's going to be a good day.šš»š
Hmmm....seems to me there are quite a few countries across the Atlantic. š¤š Fun puzzle. Thanks!
I definitely plan to work XKCD into a dinner party conversation. As soon as I learn how to pronounce it. Correctly. Wish me luck. š„³
Sweet. An unRAPPERed gift for Christmas! š¤ Fun puzzle. Thanks.
@LordBottletop Our cereal was in black and white too. Very sad. š„“
If you got 8 down without looking it up, you definitely get the brownie! šš»š
Oh, the heady days when we first saw Zorro, the Lone Ranger and Captain Kangaroo in Living Color!! It looked kinda weird... š
I came. I saw. I finally and grudgingly turned LAB into CLUB. š
No EPEE today, but our old friend ORCA made an appearance. Which one was used first? And which one more often? š¤
@Shelby I can't leave the house - I'm afraid he'll pack the toilet paper, phone chargers and coffee pot! NB: we're moving a block away, out of a small apartment and we don't have to vacate until the end of the month! š
Oh, wait. Winter Ale DOES contain alcohol! šš» Very fun puzzle. š
Mr. Rempe would be so proud - we really WERE paying attention (mostly...) during second period sophomore English! š
Totally DUNZO!! awesome final entry for today. š
Nice. And I thought I was terrible with numbers. : ))
Oh, come on!!! It's TOWEL! Make it fit! š
@Nancy Thanks so much for the fond memory of the Algonquin Round Table. My Monday just keeps getting better! š
@Steve L More likely my "Dickens phase" during long winters in northern Minnesota. š
@Molly in Wake Forest I shouldn't have mentioned it. Next we'll get "Left-handed Home-run Derby relief pitcher." š³
@SBK LOL !! That was her other one! š¤£ Oh, my. Thanks for reminding me. ššš
