The answer was immediately obvious and I thought right away, 'Frannie will love this theme.' I hope it made her smile a couple of times. I liked DANSONSHOES, too, although I didn't have any on yesterday.<br /><br />And wait, Frannie was in high school for six years?!?!Icarusfobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312667388878598706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-32475569990544690692016-06-09T03:48:30.944-04:002016-06-09T03:48:30.944-04:0013:35

As most know, Sue and I are around a decade behind with our series-watching, so see me in 2026 for that one. I agree, though, about Walken. Excellent puzzle and theme. The only theme answer for which I needed a few crosses was LANDONGEAR, since that's going back a few years. RIB is nicely clued, as is REEK (gross). Finally, I had the "H" for 65A Beefy-T brand, and wanted so badly for "Hormel" to fit into the five squares, but alas. Funny, kind of, that TONTO and INDIA are side-by-side, even though, not really.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-73113894812224187202016-06-08T21:33:36.303-04:002016-06-08T21:33:36.303-04:005:55

While I like Christopher Walken more than Kevin Bacon, I like bacon more than just about anything else, so that's a wash. The corners are all very strong. I only wish they'd clued 63A with a Game of Thrones reference. Am I right?Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
