What's your alternative?<br /><br />Also, interesting that they didn't mention the "woman constructor" theme in the syndicated. Maybe there's no easy way to do it for that puzzle?Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-14662869903887246292020-04-06T21:02:15.371-04:002020-04-06T21:02:15.371-04:00Completely agree about the squat jumps, Ho.

Riding a bike--like Monsieur LeMond (great to see him mentioned!)--is a terrific way to build up the quads. I too was happy about the inclusion of what I always used to consider the "standard" spelling of Czar (although, nice one, Huyggie!). Since when is the word "zit" slang?? Very happy to see the annoyingly ubiquitous ERMA clued as something other than "Funny Bombeck." That bit of editorializing always irks me (but somehow IMANAGE.) And, what, the middle of the face is called NOSE now? Did you catch the hidden Batman v. Superman mini-theme? No mention of the Week of Women on the syndicated puzzle, but I kind of like that there was no theme of women in the grid. It's more a vibe of "a woman made this puzzle; no big deal."englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-66800794816270791312020-03-03T04:50:20.427-05:002020-03-03T04:50:20.427-05:006:17

I know she's in a bit of trouble, but at least she's in there. I'd also never heard of SQUATJUMPS and am highly unlikely to start doing them now. I though that Horace's preferred spelling of tzar is gzar, not CZAR.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-79783112148543187752020-03-02T18:53:36.940-05:002020-03-02T18:53:36.940-05:003:15

And there were ERMA, TORI, SABRINA, and Cardi B and Nicki Minaj in the hint for HIPHOP, so there you go.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
