Lots and lots of it.<br /><br />Weird clue for SNUB (Crowd favorite not getting nominated for an Oscar, e.g.). And I did not at all like "Apply carelessly, as paint" for DAUB. And finally, "Confucian path" is inaccurate for TAO. Confucius started Confucianism, which is not Taoism.<br /><br />"But aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the puzzle?"Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-80622177412404633372018-02-22T02:38:37.699-05:002018-02-22T02:38:37.699-05:00Fine clue for SUMO, I'd add.

PLATINUM was an unexpected answer at 35D Credit card designation (for me, anyway), and I also enjoyed GINUP, TROMP and the fact that I could enter CAMUS off of the ___U_. I did not love the two movie partials: LALA and ABOY, but I wouldn't SNUB the whole puzzle because of them.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-24676646887950825612018-02-21T14:31:01.065-05:002018-02-21T14:31:01.065-05:0012:29
