I just happened to learn that "The Streak" was the most popular song in American when Ken Jennings was born. I was eight at the time and I remember the song well, but I was not thinking of it when I hit the clue "Events akin to streaks" (UNDIERUNS). Another thing working against me was that I had never heard the term "undie run." Seems to me that if you're going to do it, why not go all the way? BESTRONG and get that TENTPOLE out there for all to see. Too much?
Let's see, what else... I learned in BARTRIVIA, I think, that Antarctica was technically the largest desert in the world, so ARID went right in. But still, when I think "desert," I think "sand," so it still seems a little odd.
I liked both the clue and the answer in "Disaccustom" (WEAN), and doesn't the idea of NORTHSTAR just feel so comforting for some reason?
