I had dropped in the somewhat common NOd for "Recognition for an actor, informally," and it took me many minutes to finally look hard enough at AdIREQUEST to understand what happened. Sheesh!<br /><br />Aside from that, though, je l'ai trouvé assez amusant. I imagine COCO would have been happy to see herself in this grid.<br /><br />The AYEAYE is new to me. I suppose I should stash that away quelque part.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-67615632228463766502019-11-15T09:38:10.532-05:002019-11-15T09:38:10.532-05:0031:36

Add to that that I didn't really know what was going on until I hit the revealer, which wasn't for a while, so the theme answers weren't making much sense. I take to EAUSKIING, but even though I had the ___SKIING, and thought that I knew the crosses, I wasn't making the connection. Anyway, that led to my rather long time for a Thursday, but I'll agree that the puzzle was, on the whole, nicely crafted.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
