MEZZO is excellent (and corrected iBAR for me), as was TITER (previously mentioned). For some reason, I entered AamCO where AMOCO goes in the SE, but not for too terribly long, although that was a major slowdown in that area. I agree with Colum regarding ONOP[OT]AT[OT]WOP[OT]ATO; definitely the best. Every time that I see MEAD, I think of having a night featuring that and "Beowulf" (the Jolie one, even though she appears but briefly). Naturally, I have that in Blu-ray format.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-52509255607698403012017-04-13T18:07:16.085-04:002017-04-13T18:07:16.085-04:008:09

The theme answers themselves are reasonably good. Best is certainly ONEP[OT]AT[OT]WOP[OT]ATO. I likewise had difficulty for a little while with the center N section. Like you, SMETANA was a nice entry. I wasn't sure about SHOO vs Scat, and I had "eye" for SPY.<br /><br />In other sections, I dip into a salsa, not a SALSADIP. But I liked it overall.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
