Yeah, never heard of DECKLE or WUSHU. The clue for WUSHU saved me from an FWOE because I entered aRIEL off of a few crosses at 52D, but "wu" does not rhyme with "sha," so I changed it. And like Horace, I tried CLASSy for awhile, until I had sufficient crosses to see LASTRADA.

I actually looked at it and couldn't think of it starting with anything other than "lost" or "last," and I actually wondered for a minute if he made a film called "Last Lady." It took me quite a while before I finally saw LASTRADA. Sigh.<br /><br />But other than that, I liked this one quite a bit, even though it was more difficult for me than just SEMIHARD. (Yeesh... the lengths I'll go to to use an entry.)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
