I starred OPERAARIAS because of its ridiculousness, and I am an unabashed longtime fan of FIONAAPPLE (great photo) who in no way compares with PAULAABDUL. CARPARK reminds me of HHGTTG when Marvin waits as a car park attendant at the RATEOTU for Arthur and Ford for many billions of years. Of course, Horace probably didn't like that bit. I think that the cluing for PRESLEY was probably overdone.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-88043195958175630692015-11-30T22:51:10.951-05:002015-11-30T22:51:10.951-05:004:56

(What were we just saying about the "average" times posted on this blog?...)<br /><br />I agree that the "MID AS TOUCH" is a hilariously clever theme, and yes, for that kind of humor on a Monday, we can tolerate occasional bits of DRAB fill. But really, there really isn't all that much here, and as you point out, there's plenty of good. <br /><br />Has it really been two years? I can't believe it either. Thanks so much for doing this. Are you in for another? While you think that over, I'll get going on Tuesday's review!Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
