If he dislikes the NYT so much, why is he still blogging it?Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-45139752923048509182019-11-29T08:01:00.590-05:002019-11-29T08:01:00.590-05:008:54

Nice that Mr. Polin could fit in the whole JOAQUIN/PHOENIX even with the Q and X in there. I may disagree with Frannie on her inclusion of OFFAL as food, but I'll take a ZITI or ICEWINE at any time. My only slowdown happened when I tried to use a rebus at square 27 ([FIREB]), which worked for the across and down, but then the rebus did not work at square 28 since "fireballfires" is not a thing, or at square 47, which would have yielded "firebrandfired" for the down. I therefore abandoned that line of thinking, just entering the words without the "fire" attached and realized what was happening once I hit the revealer.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
