Sometimes it seems almost pointless to do them at all, and then finding something to write about can also be hard. But then, they're've been some decent ones. And I guess it's fun to race the clock sometimes, although that can often drain whatever fun there is out of them, because you're racing too fast to appreciate them.

I had the same reaction to the theme: seemed a little forced and lame. Let's think of mostly unrelated food items that rhyme with the names of celebrities. Wow. How clever. Plus, I was going to mention IKIDYOUNOT. That was my favorite too. I swear! My time was 6:49, by the way. One more note, don't they need to ramp up the difficulty for the Mondays and Tuesdays? I mean, do any non-puzzle people really do the first two days and then bow out? They--like Dad--would probably be doing other puzzles. Get Shortz on it: I want a Monday that takes me at least 10 to 15 minutes.englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-11029301140979499342013-04-29T17:18:46.101-04:002013-04-29T17:18:46.101-04:00Must I have?Must I have?Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-51841049408788930272013-04-29T14:02:38.191-04:002013-04-29T14:02:38.191-04:0012:57

Your 52D is a little dark. Don't tell me that you didn't like SHEENSBEANS, SWANKSFRANKS or HAWNSPRAWNS? You must have loved PITTSGRITS.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
