I got SOBEREDUP, and CEELO GREEN (yes, I know of him), Frannie knew ALANADALE and OLIVET. Neither of us knew KRANEPOOL or KEVIN, but guessed right on the K. Didn't exactly "know" NANETTE, but "No, No, Nanette" is a known thing, so it made for a logical guess.

I finished (I don't generally time Thursday through Saturday), but only because my guesses came through for the A and L of ALANADALE, DAUBE, and ULLA. There were several longish answers that I wouldn't think you'd know, including KRANEPOOL, KEVIN (now pitches for the Twins, so very easy for me), CEELO GREEN, and NANETTE. The UNFORGIVEN clue was tricky. I honestly didn't see it until it was completely filled in. Can't say I loved--or even really liked this one. Too much obscure stuff and too many answers that I don't think quite work. ODDMANOUT is the worst. "One who doesn't click in a clique" doesn't make any sense to me. It's a paradox, isn't it? If you are in a clique, you click by definition." Hated EXTRALARGE for "Monster." Wasn't crazy about EMU either, since regular hens produce extra-large eggs. Very little grabbed me in this one. englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-80948535845057194942013-04-28T16:56:58.224-04:002013-04-28T16:56:58.224-04:00DNF (1:15:42)

I'm going to print out the Sunday puzzle now (4:56PM on Sunday) and probably won't do it until tomorrow. Sue and I are going on P8 now, then a hot tub and to bed.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
