I should be onto such tricks, but I was stuck on resins, or fruits, or a whole bunch of other things without the right number of letters or the right crosses.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-66448799269263843062020-06-26T07:35:33.335-04:002020-06-26T07:35:33.335-04:0017:56

But I did try out NYse, like Frannie, before being stymied with the crosses. I knew MACY, and what about "The Piranha Brothers" sketch? SPINY Norman, anyone? I also tried dOdO where BOZO belongs, which added to my time a bit. I like how the constructors included all appendaged fauna in their limb theme and weren't Homo-centric.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-22061152053075893162020-06-25T19:43:43.492-04:002020-06-25T19:43:43.492-04:006:25

Instead when I filled in ALLYBLONDE, I got what was going on, even before the revealer. I too loved ATTIC.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-72105229188766312072020-06-25T16:49:39.579-04:002020-06-25T16:49:39.579-04:00I filled in GO OUT ON A LIMB before any other them...I filled in GO OUT ON A LIMB before any other themer, which gave me a huge advantage. The one answer that stumped me for the longest time was 1 Across. I didn't think of LUCY...but I couldn't think of anything except FONZ -- rationalizing that the series was *about* the 1950s, duh. But gee...isn't "Beaver" the nickname? For Theodore, I mean? BEAV seems like a nickname's nickname. :-) Fun puzzle!Kelly Clarknoreply@blogger.com
