Does also knowing EMINEM instantly partially offset that?englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-68624627661002514302013-11-11T13:57:04.740-05:002013-11-11T13:57:04.740-05:00Or Colum could download the print versions, as I d...Or Colum could download the print versions, as I do, for $40/year.<br />Anyway, I agree with Mr. Amory. I was either writing them in as fast as I could read them or struggling, especially with the NW and SW. It took the usual amount of time (~1:30), and I knew all of the sign-offs, so for the most part it wasn't too bad. INUTERO is always nice to see. I should probably own that. And I was stuck for a little while on 81D Apple product (IPODNANO) just because it was so many letters. And I take umbrage with 46A Toothpaste type (GEL): it isn't PASTE, then, is it?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-70015207930180853342013-11-10T18:42:31.311-05:002013-11-10T18:42:31.311-05:00Yeah, Sundays are frequently a letdown after the T...Yeah, Sundays are frequently a letdown after the Thursday/Friday/Saturday trifecta, but this one was especially so. It would be great if you could start doing some other days, as I believe I've already said. I can highly recommend the nyt puzzle app. The yearly subscription for all the crosswords is under $20.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-59470627030332048752013-11-10T18:22:34.327-05:002013-11-10T18:22:34.327-05:00This is frankly a terrible puzzle.
