I didn't love CATLITTER, as I was hoping for something not so gross in there. TARTEST would have been nice clued as "road repair requirement, maybe." INSULAR is a great word, and what of that excellent Simpsons reference (perhaps) at HADACOW? Everyone loves a WETBAR and the RIOTACT. I enjoyed the OSCAR/DELARENTA pairing, too.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-80726396763024730912017-11-11T08:59:14.224-05:002017-11-11T08:59:14.224-05:0011:03

The top went more quickly than the bottom for me, but OPIONEERS and NANTES helped a lot once I got to them. HECKLE (Bad call?) is great, and who knew it was called a MESSJACKET? ...<br />Nice that he got Fats Domino in there, and nice twist on FRAN. I used to love watching that guy.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
