How cool is it that each phrase is splits so neatly by number of letters such that the second and third phrases are equally long, and the first phrase matches the title? I dunno about the rest of the puzzle. What about LEWINSKY symmetric to MANLIEST? I doubt we'd call William Jefferson Clinton the manliest of the presidents. Who would get that title? Teddy Roosevelt?Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-17484681013500068052015-12-01T11:56:05.281-05:002015-12-01T11:56:05.281-05:00I'd guess maybe 62 or 63, but yes, very good g...I'd guess maybe 62 or 63, but yes, very good guess of the minimum.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-22433287496417493492015-12-01T06:57:23.283-05:002015-12-01T06:57:23.283-05:0010:42

I immediately thought of NORWEGIANWOOD, of course, once I had the crosses that provided IONCEHAD_____. Having seen The Beatles twice would put your friend, if I figured correctly, at a minimum of around 61 years old. Am I close? I also starred CARWASH (42D Something to roll up your windows for) because who rolls a window up any more? Also, it was nice to see MONO in there since many Beatles recordings were in that format, and EAGLE is great, as was its clue. Is YODELS and ECHO somewhat of a pairing?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
