Take a trip, take a cut, take a dive, take a seat, and take a hit. <br />Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-15558329970673026572021-04-06T09:42:01.820-04:002021-04-06T09:42:01.820-04:00I guess I don't get what the theme means, but ...I guess I don't get what the theme means, but I found this to be average Monday level with a 5:27 solve. I spent some time in LOCALDIVEs in my younger days, but have no CRAVEing to do so now. I won't mention ACIDTRIPs, none of which caused me to go get a POODLECUT, or a CREW cut for that matter, or to cause any trouble by LOITERing around MAIN, INCITEing the CHIEF of police to take note.

I wanted to remove the letters T-H-A-T, or something of that sort. And when I read on the official blog how it was supposed to work, maybe I buy it if the revealer clue had been worded differently. But even then the need to add "a" doesn't make sense. And "take a cut" sure someone can get a share and that is called taking a cut but maybe it wants some context? Or maybe by now I've already decided to not get it and I'm grasping for reasons?Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
