And wouldn't you know it, one of those unchecked squares was the last blank square remaining. I'm staring at FAR_ not knowing the answer from the clue. <br /><br />Running the alphabet didn't help. I finally reasoned that if one were constructing a puzzle like this and could chose from several letters to put there, one would have to be a real ass to drop in something obscure when there were widely used alternatives. <br /><br />So it came down to FARE or FARM for me. Neither sounded like a card game. But (and here's where the AHA occurred) if I were the constructor choosing between an E or an M, I'd probably go with M for Mother. All set to enter FARM, I glanced at the other large M in the grid to see if there was an unchecked M up there as well. That's when I noticed M-O-M. How about that! Those single squares were checked after all. So FARO it was. Pen, down, smile on face.<br /><br />I remember thinking early on that there could've been across clues for the singles. I had "Magazine that debuted in 2000" and "Early Lorre Film"...but when I entered a second unchecked M I shelved that idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-86987872797181886092014-05-18T18:30:48.012-04:002014-05-18T18:30:48.012-04:00What does this have to do with crosswords?What does this have to do with crosswords?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-50081066059633247712014-05-18T18:17:06.689-04:002014-05-18T18:17:06.689-04:00Ah, @Diri, you must have been commenting right abo...Ah, @Diri, you must have been commenting right about when I was because I didn't see yours until now.

Or close to that.<br /><br />A Fawlty Towers episode has the Major asking a guest what type of dog she has.

In the City of Portland (that would be the one in Maine, not that other poseur on the left coast) there is a thoroughfare that runs across the peninsula on which the city is situated; it's name is Franklin ARTERIAL (really, you can look it up). And to quote Rat from "Wind in the Willows", "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply MESSing ABOUT in boats." I like that sentiment so much I have the quote on my fb page. Just tossing those out there as extra information.<br /><br />Is a 6-high straight any good?Dirigonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903353503511480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-54708382886004990352014-05-18T13:03:23.066-04:002014-05-18T13:03:23.066-04:00What a time I had with this one!

"Through road" is an ARTERy, but somehow we have ARTERIAL. That's an adjective. The clue is not an adjective. Who MESSed ABOUT?<br /><br />[BTW, that there's an arbitrary phrase if I ever heard one; I've messed around and lounged about, but MESSABOUT? Nah. Almost another flag.]<br /><br />But the big one, the 15-yarder, is for SHORTI. Don't...just DONTSTARTINONME with that crap!<br /><br />It was rough going all the way around that bottom. Had seTASIDE instead of PUTASIDE, misspelled Jen's and Joel's name...had to laugh, though, when I saw KOREA--the proudly-declared homeland of GREY's unforgettable character in "Remo Williams: the Adventure Begins."<br /><br />Racked my dumb brain for minutes coming up with RODMAN...duh!

LORD ORANGAN TUTU of..(Orangantutu@gmail.com) brought My love back to me and to crown it all up i got a very good paying Job and as i am talking to you now he is currently working on my third spell which is the LOTTERY SPELL and i can swear my life am gonna win it! because LORD ORANGAN TUTU IS SO SO POWERFUL.. don't fall a victim for scams as it don't always hurts but its also distabilizing, i don't trust any spell caster if he is not LORD ORANGAN TUTU... send him a mail now via...orangantutu@gmail.com.. and you will be glad you did...
