Obviously, I lacked the high-Q to know about sobriquets or Mr. Thek, or the alternative spelling of the word, sac or sack. I also didn't know about those flower clusters, although I am quite familiar with racemic mixtures of enantiomers. I don't mind OD-ing on these puzzles or this blog while on vacation in Worcester, although I seem to have missed this winter's icicles. I must admit that I enjoyed the two compass direction challenges in this puzzle, despite their easiness, and I always enjoy memories of Louis Gossett watching Richard Gere (Mayo...naise!) doing pushups in the rain.DWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518626607164065860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-45108567395925438832019-04-17T08:39:29.247-04:002019-04-17T08:39:29.247-04:006:59 (FWOE) (paper)
I had the same error as "...6:59 (FWOE) (paper)<br /><br />I had the same error as "Jimmy the K," and if it weren't for the theme, I might never have found it! I was a pretty big Beatles fan in my youth, but I don't remember ever coming across that name.<br /><br />Gotta give another shout out to ATHEISM, and I also liked TRESTLE, BEQUEST, EMULATE, NEURONS, and that delicious, delicious TAPIOCA.

TOOTHDECAY crossing TAPIOCA is mildly amusing (I, too, enjoy a nice TAPIOCA, but make sure to take care of my oral health following any meal). ELECTORS was nice, but I didn't care for the quotes. Hear! hear! on ATHEISM.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-15732126435810372082019-04-16T22:09:32.357-04:002019-04-16T22:09:32.357-04:00Chutzpah indeed!

Certainly as a food, and, well, as a crossword answer too. Although I would have to admire the cluing of ATHEISM, that's probably the high point.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
