Not a term I ever hear used. The term is PITCHER. Perhaps it has water in it. Just feels like a stretch to make the theme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-64553459573415537242017-04-03T21:17:27.817-04:002017-04-03T21:17:27.817-04:008:26 (typical for Monday)
You know, I can't a...8:26 (typical for Monday)<br /><br />You know, I can't argue with "strange" regarding the PEARS clue, but if I think about the texture of a pear, I'd have to say I agree. So thumbs up on this one.<br /><br />My big gripe was TOILE crossing KALEL. Had to guess on that. On the plus side, after I was done an internet image search for toile shows a whole bunch of beautiful (to my eyes) results.<br /><br />Little surprised they missed the baseball clue for ERAS. I mean, maybe not a great way to clue it in general, but for a baseball themed puzzle?<br /><br />Not sure what would be wrong with PUMPKINCOACH. I mean, a coach is a thing, and Cinderella's was made from a pumpkin, so......<br /><br />Overall, well not great for the reasons given in the review. I'll agree with the high marks for SLOTHS. That was my favorite answer too.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-19263039188484212032017-04-03T20:23:26.080-04:002017-04-03T20:23:26.080-04:003:46
