Kind of an odd, positionally-clued theme today. The top row clues all included the word "top" in them: "Top dog?" (MUTT), "Top hat?" (LID), and "Top gun?" (PISTOL). And the sides all included the word "side" in the clue: "Side dish?" (PLATE), "Side kick?" (PUNT), etc. And likewise at the bottom: "Bottom feeder?" (TROUGH). I thought the weakest were "Bottom line?" for RAY and "Side plank?" for BOARD. What is a "side plank?" Oh wait... unless it's a yoga move... Anyway, EDGES serves as a highlighter, of sorts, in the very center. Nice.
LEVITATE (Get off the ground?) is a fun one. And I didn't realize that D.F.W. taught at POMONA. Someone I know when to POMONA around the time he could have been there. If I ever see her again I'll ask whether or not she had a class with him.
What else? My brother Rich used to say YOUDIRTYRAT in a bad Cagney voice when I was little. And it's funny that MOOLAH is in again today.
The second and second-to-last lines today strike me as very crosswordy - EPEE ETE OCTOPI and NANANA ATO AGES.
Happy Wednesday!
