I, for one, never mind a few three-letter answers in an early week puzzle, especially when the theme is pretty good, like this one. I mean, PITTTHEELDER? When are we ever going to see that again in a grid? And who doesn't love DHARMA, or a NOOGIE?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-65026072074594010602018-05-29T19:56:17.920-04:002018-05-29T19:56:17.920-04:00Ha!

Hence TRIDENTS.<br /><br />I'll grudgingly accept MSN as an answer, but clued as if it and aol are the entire internet? I mean, that's sort of going out of your way to be dated.<br /><br />MIMI and BOHEMIA made a nice pair (both clued in a way adjacent, but not quite to, the Puccini opera).<br />Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.com
