I'd have clued HOMER with something other than a sports allusion, but even that's not bad. ROLODEX is excellent, and adjacent to EMAIL, even. Didn't the movie PILLOWTALK show up recently in a NYT crossword? TURKEYTROT is something in which I've participated in the past, but lately Sue works on Thanksgiving, so I just have a rye-infused Doctor Who party instead, which, on the whole, is more fun.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-75980650884774955822016-09-26T21:57:38.939-04:002016-09-26T21:57:38.939-04:00My favorite answer was EXSTAR but there are some o...My favorite answer was EXSTAR but there are some other good ones like DEBASED and DOWEL.

It's a stuffed pepper, a stuffed animal, a stuffed olive, all okay, but then there are a stocking stuffer, a turkey with stuffing, and a pillow with stuffing. It's a catastrophe!
