CUTE ice cream cone theme today, with a cone getting filled up with a triple scoop of ice cream by the end. And perhaps the theme continues with two Down answers referring to the ice cream - ILOVEYOUSOMUCH and GOESCUCKOOOVER. That last, with it's triple Os, is quite clever. And ok, maybe EATME is also thematic? And its symmetrical counterpart SEWED? Because whenever I sassed "So!?" to my mom, she would say "Sew buttons on ice cream and see if it melts!"
In other news, it is interesting to learn that the River Thames either ends or starts in ESSEX County. It's absurd that I don't know which end that would be, but then, I watched a British game show recently where the contestants were shown a map of the United States, and they had to show where various things were. When given "Cape Canaveral," at least two of the four put it smack-dab in the middle of Texas.
Couple of colloquialisms - SCUSEME and NOPROB - made it a little trickier, and I never expect TEAMUSA when given a clue like "Powerhouse competitors in women's Olympic gymnastics." I should, of course, by now, but do I?
