I do appreciate all the clever clues to OREO(S), but I also wish we could have at least a temporary moratorium on the word.

I don't usually comment, but this was such a clever puzzle! It was fun to solve, even though I got the theme fairly early. What a great way to start the day!

Thank you, thank you for the "correct" definition of moot. In my lifetime it has changed from meaning debatable to meaning not debatable. I know Mr. McWhirter would say that is because English is a living language, but it still annoys me. (And John McWhirter is still my favorite language person.)

Thanks for the hints - I really needed them; except I really needed the upper left quadrant which you didn't show! As you said, it just wasn't in my wheelhouse.

Whew! I wasn't the only one who put UP in the rebus circles and then had to go back and replace them with DOWN! Do you suppose that indicates a more optimistic look at life? Or, at any rate, puzzles?

It must be because I grew up in the south, but we always said corn would be "as high as an elephant's eye by the fourth of July".
