I, too, haven't ever seen The Sopranos, and so needed many crosses for STRIPCLUB. I liked being reminded, in addition to NEWHART, of 29A Like Ogden Nash's verse (DROLL). I've got to agree with SKOSH, but I've squinted very hard and could not make out an apple.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-40505092415552536402014-04-30T20:43:26.314-04:002014-04-30T20:43:26.314-04:00Untimed (I forgot to start the timer).

I had the most difficulty in the middle west, where OSHEA was a guess, I didn't know NIA, and BONE did not seem clear at all. A number of old-timey clues. How many people nowadays know ANOUK Aimee, Sophia LOREN, or even James CAAN? Or even ELVIS?! Not that last one I guess. Overall I didn't love the fill, but the theme was fun enough to make up for it.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
