I know you said it, but I've got to just say again that "Where everything has been checked" and "Like many floor cleaners" are excellent clues. And I also like the "stats" clue for ORR. But in "The Deer Hunter," RUSSIANROULETTE had more than one round, so I take points off for that one.<br /><br />Maybe it's a Britishism, but I've definitely heard MILERUN, and, btw, I knew that one off the clue, too. And perhaps one of your reviews from earlier this week prepped me, but I also got GALEN without much trouble. Also, a friend's son is named Galen, and when I met him, I looked the older one up.<br /><br />A good Friday, if a little easy.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-64086211780753507332015-05-23T12:41:31.148-04:002015-05-23T12:41:31.148-04:0014:33

I never heard of KLU, so I needed all of the crosses, but there were no problems in this puzzle at all. The stacks were excellent (I'm surprised that Colum enjoyed them; I thought that was not his thing, so much, although maybe that's just the quad stacks). Interesting trivia re: ATMOS (22A Greek for "vapor"). What, SELFIE is going to start appearing in grids now? Also, nice A&C reference (ALGIERS), a movie that I've seen many times.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
