Of course, I almost never go to a mall, the exception being when visiting the relatives in MN (Mall of America), but I'm familiar with the maps, as is everyone, I suppose. Nice to see TA[UR]US in the grid and as a prominent rebus entry, but too much France, what with ARLES, HE[UR]E and E[UR]OS. For once, ZEROES didn't fool me for a second.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-22284590399837993242020-05-06T16:45:28.086-04:002020-05-06T16:45:28.086-04:005:01

At one point I was wondering if the answer to 17A would be ToKEYBaGon. What is that, you ask? Great question. All I can say is that I wondered if we were doing a baby talk theme. You know. Babies talk about tokey bagon all the time.<br /><br />The human brain is an odd thing.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-32212323023296050882020-05-06T11:02:48.415-04:002020-05-06T11:02:48.415-04:00Early on I had some of the crosses for T[UR]RKEYB[...Early on I had some of the crosses for T[UR]RKEYB[UR]GER, and thought of turkey, and thought of tofu, and well it wasn't immediate but before long (maybe on [UR]SINE) I realized I was dealing with an ur-puzzle.<br /><br />Finished with one error on RESTe[UR]ATE[UR] crossing TSe which was basically carelessness as much as anything.<br /><br />The review highlighted many of the delightful clues, and I also liked FRAYED.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
