Anyway, I did not know the Z or L of ZOLA in EMILEZOLA, nor did I get the crosses, though I should have gotten MILER (42D Meet someone?), which was excellent. Also, I loved WHATTHE (28A "Can this be?!") and MOONWALKS (12D Excursions for some rock collectors?). I'd heard of AFFLUENZA, but it still took a few crosses to get. I guess I'll need to call this a DNF, since it's more than the accepted (by this group) FWOE.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-25090324776840042132014-11-15T22:12:58.816-05:002014-11-15T22:12:58.816-05:00OK, so really the problem with Saturdays is that I...OK, so really the problem with Saturdays is that I just don't have enough time to sit down and do it and then I feel pressured. That's not a good sign for the ACPT.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-41375630423141399212014-11-15T21:58:18.480-05:002014-11-15T21:58:18.480-05:00DNF. Let's start with AFFLUENZA. Okay, what? S...DNF. Let's start with AFFLUENZA. Okay, what? So, apparently it's really a thing, but, wow. I was lost on that one. I had AFFLUENce in there for a long time, until I realized it wasn't going to work any more. Also, SKATE... Okay, hockey, I get it now. "Y" athlete - YALIE. That's a stretch. Should be an ELI (as we're all too used to). Fine, sour grapes and all that. There are some excellent clue-answer pairings, but I'm annoyed.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
