Shout out to 22D > 0: Abbr. (POS), even though it's an abbreviation. I also liked 38D "No rush" (ICANWAIT). And yes, a Whiskey SOUR is far too mixy (or is it mixey?). I just like the whiskey part, neat, two fingers.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-26469609548358108922017-10-06T17:45:33.403-04:002017-10-06T17:45:33.403-04:006:46

I was way off, even when faced with ____TV!Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-23685709089055219902017-10-06T14:03:31.511-04:002017-10-06T14:03:31.511-04:008:09

Maybe "chop," which worked with HOOP but nothing else. And I think we've seen SHEB before, but I did not remember it. <br /><br />Enjoyed INNOCENT, ENGAGEMENT, and FEIGN. No real gimmick today, which was a little sad, but so it goes.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
