Nice to have an Annabel appearance today. Plus, I liked the puzzle, particularly CAPITAL OFFENSE (which should be "offence") and the "M" falling into the basket as the first letter of MOURN. <br /><br />@Spacey - so your given name is CARL, WYATT, ADAM, ROGER, or possibly ASTA. I'm going to guess CARL. Carl Spacecraft has a nice ring to it. <br /><br />I had to write over the entire name of the honouree, misspelled, when UCLA appeared, and I thought the trick pretty nifty. Whether or not she actually uttered that famous phrase, the woman had a sense of humour.<br /><br />rain forestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-30036746391383645382017-06-05T13:31:55.824-04:002017-06-05T13:31:55.824-04:00AHEM...

So glad to see Acme dub it a Muesday. <br /><br />I have heard of BRACERS, and was thinking the hangover cure was similar - a "hair of the dog" kind of thing. Like "have another brewski." So BRuMO made SOME kind of sense. And I, too, had never heard of a 1-K race. So perhaps a uNEK was a half turn around the track - you know, in the shape of a U? (Hi @M&A) I guess, according to Mr. Ghosty, there is simply no excuse for me. I walked a 12-K this spring - I might actually be able to run a 1-K. And then require a seltzer, or a BRACER. <br /><br />I was surprised Annabell didn't know ASTA - that pup is crosswordese if ever there was, nae? Like ewer, etui, and all the other words I learned in my first year of daily NYTX playtime. It's what has brought me into the under half-an-hour solving fold. <br /><br />Diana, Lady-in-Waiting for Crosswords, still somewhere in middle schoolDiana,LIWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-41679070674347265462017-06-05T11:31:50.300-04:002017-06-05T11:31:50.300-04:00To whom is ONEK a "short" footrace?

I remember running; I really do.<br /><br />I liked this puzzle. The tag line is absolutely hilarious: CAPITAL (root: HEAD) OFF (!) ENSE. The Edster is not usually one of my favorites, but this time he came through. Puzzles should be entertaining; this one certainly was.<br /><br />Somewhere in here is my given name; I'll leave it at that. Another reason to give an EBERT thumbs-up. Despite a plethora of male names, there are ample (!) DOD candidates as well. How many DEBS? Harry, Gibson, Boone...And even more EMMAs: Stone, Watson, Roberts, Samms...but I'll give the nod to the incomparable ETTA James. At last!<br /><br />The lead blog surprised me all the way down to the byline--then it all became clear. This fellow usually needs some outrageous fill to accommodate his longer entries; not so today. One quibble: it's a NO-FEE policy: no S.
