I entered ____SHOT off of the clue, but needed the crosses for the "POPA" part. I didn't like SACBEE at all, and no one likes PREGGO, but other than that the fill was fine. I'm watching "Better Call Saul" but did not know the name RHEA; her character is excellent. And when we have a PIZZAPARTY here at the YBH, it is not an "order in" event.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-79091775750670320892021-06-06T15:56:07.936-04:002021-06-06T15:56:07.936-04:00Kind of reminds me of "The Department of Redu...Kind of reminds me of "The Department of Redundancy Department."Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-37038464638872617372021-06-06T14:20:03.474-04:002021-06-06T14:20:03.474-04:00Amazing puzzle, fiendish but eminently fair clues....Amazing puzzle, fiendish but eminently fair clues.

I had quite a slow start today - and also a slow finish. :) Tried "spacejam" instead of POPASHOT, and UPPEDTHEantE in the SE, which didn't help things. <br /><br />Lovely puzzle once it was filled in. 21:00.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-67091494905050921352021-06-05T20:25:41.353-04:002021-06-05T20:25:41.353-04:00For the longest time, I thought PETARD was some ki...For the longest time, I thought PETARD was some kind of item of clothing - and to be hoisted by it was akin to getting a wedgie. ha ha! 9:03 today, after a sluggish start.
