![]() Thanks, Taylor, for a fun Friday and thanks, MalMan, for a fun and fact-filled review. I won’t say a word about the cluing for Cab. The theme was successful, IMO, because of the strong in-the-language base phrases and the subsequent humorous but not preposterous transitions. Porter? I stumbled over Mayer/Metro (too hasty), Seine/Rhine (too cocky), and Gent/Bruv (too classy). But, as we all well know in todays crossworld, Anything Goes. I’ve seen Bruv and Innit often in British novels but I can’t say I like seeing either one in an American crossword. Sadly the current TRENDS seem to be both MM. Also a favorite literary form of my youngest granddaughter.ģD TRENDS. A CSO to Misty, who treats us to a MADLIB most days using randomly select fill from the puzzle. One of his favorite expressions is "Innit", which I take to mean "Don't you agree?".Ģ4A MADLIBS. One of the characters, a scroungy cat named Bucky (whom I don't think even Hahtoolah could love) has a British cousin, a Manx cat named Mac Manc McManx (funny that he has a tail). I learned this from Darby Conley's cartoon Get Fuzzy (definitely an acquired taste). You are certainly the Hahtoolah of the double entendre.Īs we are headed out the door for OHIO for my oldest granddaughter's college graduation, I'll try to be brief. Thank you, thank you Taylor for an effortless, fun Friday FIR FIR (unlike the last time, a FIR FIW!).Īnd just one thank you MM for the merriment. I must have grabbed the wrong one again, as this one just seemed to fill itself, which is odd for a Friday. The Sunpapers screwed up access to my account and I had to go dipping into my Blogger stash of puzzles. I think this is DEJA DEJA VU all over again. Similarly, ROCKY START becomes ROCKY'S TART. At the risk of being redundant, GEEK SQUAD morphs into GEEK'S QUAD (as in quadriceps).ģ1 Across: Fruity pastry made by a movie boxer?: ROCKY'S TART. Geek Squad (techies) is modified by moving the S from the beginning of the word SQUAD to the end of the word GEEK thereby making GEEK possessive. He applies this methodology at four places in the grid:ġ7 Across: Leg muscle of a mathlete?: GEEK'S QUAD. He provides the key at:ĥ9 Across: Makes room, and when parsed differently, an instruction for four answers in this puzzle: MOVES OVER. A single letter merely has to be moved over from the start of one word to the end of the preceding word. Today, in an example of, arguably, increased efficiency, nothing has to be removed. Previously, he has employed themes where letters have to be removed from common words and phrases in order to form appropriate (and humorous) answers to the clues. Taylor has also had puzzles published in other venues. ![]() ![]() Malodorous Manatee here with today's recap of a puzzle by Taylor Johnson who first appeared in this venue just a few days shy of one year ago (on, per Bill).
