Well I enjoyed it just fine. My error...28:01 (FWOE)<br />Well I enjoyed it just fine. My error came at the ETOILES/ESOS cross, where I'd guessed an "a." I never heard of LOGROLLS or ORLOP, but liked RATSNEST, FIRESALE, the aforementioned BARCAR, and SORCERESS. I never heard of STRESSEATS. Nice fast time for me, but I wish we would stop crossing foreign words.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-90562014648576549842016-10-02T08:50:49.617-04:002016-10-02T08:50:49.617-04:0030:07

I agree ...30:07<br /><br />TINIES was my first solid entry. <br /><br />I agree about some ho-hum material, but I liked BARCAR (It's on track to serve people) and CAVE (Give up). I was annoyed by ORLOP being clued as though it were a thing anyone ever said, but I suppose the two "____ deck" clues set up the lovely BATTERUP (Call to someone on deck), so I guess I'll give it a pass.<br /><br />There's good fill, and it seems like this should have been more enjoyable, but somehow it wasn't just right.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
