RADIOGALAXY is a common thing for astronomers, but I needed a couple of crosses for the RADIO part. I enjoyed all of the long answers, with JEWISHRYE giving me more trouble than it should have, in retrospect. I didn't know GABE, and wish it'd been clued with Kotter, but the crosses were fair. Interesting trivia regarding IACOCCA and the Mustang.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-77993622575274901302015-11-08T08:44:39.311-05:002015-11-08T08:44:39.311-05:00Well...

I guess it would have worked, because they could have just clued it with "____ Léman," which would probably have been Saturday-y enough.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-35810971741685987352015-11-08T08:43:15.882-05:002015-11-08T08:43:15.882-05:0020:34 - but!, I also had TOEtAP!

Because I had entered "toe tab," I guess, and then realized that the end was wrong when OKAPI became obvious, but then, like you, never looked carefully enough at CORSICA. And the M of MIL was the last thing I entered, too, because RCA is so much better known than MCA, but I went with MIL because who ever heard of a RIL? And I agree that using the Aral sea in French was pretty cheap, but Lake Geneva wouldn't have worked, because they call it Lac Léman! It's like they have a different word for everything!<br /><br />The long stuff is, indeed, quite good today. I really loved that SW. YAYS was terrible, but the rest of the "clue" wasn't so, so terrible. Overall, Thumbs up.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
