DOUBLE TALK
Oops! My bad. I was supposed to start blogging yesterday. I even thought about it on Saturday, but then Sunday rolled around. I blame Daylight Savings Time.
So just a quick filler review here. I thought this theme was delightful. Each themed answer has a two word clue, each of which is a homonym. Somehow, Mr. Katz has hit upon an amazing set of homonymic clues which are phrases in their own right. For example, 21A: But wait! is reinterpreted as "Butt weight," which then refers to the phrase JUNKINTHETRUNK.
There are 8 theme answers. My favorites are 112A: We won! (KINDERGARTENER), or "wee one;" 30D: Flew by (ROBITUSSIN), or "flu buy;" and 91A: Bare feet (SUPERBOWLWIN), or "Bear feat." They have accomplished it of course, Da Bears.
Fun times. Sorry about the miss. Monday's review is coming right up.
