It turns out that I entered PRiOR without really playing attention to the cross, a song with which I'm unfamiliar, and I tried a "w" at the BARNEYSTINSON/NOT cross, thinking that both answers sounded fine. I knew the name was BARNEY___, so that wasn't a problem, but I was not a regular watcher of the show (though I did find the episodes that I saw amusing), so didn't know the last name. I agree with Horace that PAWNPROMOTION is the best of the middle stack, BASSALE is always a nice choice and CHEAPSKATE is excellent. Also, I never heard of MAUS, but the crosses were fine. I wanted X-Men in there, but that would not have worked out.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
