I think that this could be my first time sub-...4:46<br />I think that this could be my first time sub-five, but I'm not sure. No problems here...and what's up with you two, not remembering GENESISKEL??? Unbelievable. Lots of other names: SNOOKI, ANAIS, TYSON, ERICH, LAURA, SOSA; that's too many. I liked 56A Clumsily touches (PAWSAT), and do not like a SPASM (68A Involuntary twitch), which is not how I would describe those of the "back" variety that I've experienced. Also, too many place names: OMAN, OSLO, RUHR, AMES. Nice stacking of TYSON and KOS, though, and who doesn't like a good WHIZ, even of the 52D Cheez ____ type?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-46747478953740638982015-05-12T00:57:20.437-04:002015-05-12T00:57:20.437-04:00Nice time!Nice time!Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-8478870858837340322015-05-12T00:47:00.326-04:002015-05-12T00:47:00.326-04:003:54
Played a bit fast for me - it's a new PR...3:54<br /><br />Played a bit fast for me - it's a new PR, by six seconds! Finally made it into the threes. Whew!<br /><br />Enjoyed it even as it whizzed by. TROUNCE and DRUB (Beat decisively) are both great words. STOKE & CHEAPO, also good. And while ENWRAP isn't great, I didn't mind ENSUE. I had "johnSISKEL" in there for a moment - so you weren't alone in being unable to come up with the name. And speaking of names, I liked seeing AMES in there, and I love me some LAURA Dern! What's she been in lately?<br /><br />A solid Monday.<br /><br />p.s. Way to use the new terminology right away! Piece by piece we will change the cruciverbalist lexicon.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
