This one took a bit longer than a Sunday offering normally takes for me, but at least I finished, which I can't say about Friday, June 28 just yet (still working).<br /><br />BTW, I like the fact that we don't have to type in security letters in order to post any more.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-8848267447856329782013-07-02T09:47:08.572-04:002013-07-02T09:47:08.572-04:00Good call, Colum, on the "hot seat" pair...Good call, Colum, on the "hot seat" pair. I enjoyed those as well. And I agree about the oddness of the Roman numerals.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-14932722447517191692013-07-01T22:18:31.566-04:002013-07-01T22:18:31.566-04:00Broke in with MIRACLEWORKER, and things moved pret...Broke in with MIRACLEWORKER, and things moved pretty quickly from there. An awful lot of three letter answers, part and parcel of the constraints placed by the M and the W, but some very nice long answers as well, including WENTROGUE, INECSTASY, and the enjoyable pair of "Where one might be in the hot seat?" clues (ROAST and STEAMBATH). Did not like the use of MMI for the year the iPod came out. Why the Roman numerals? Otherwise, overall a fun time.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
