You weren't among the commenters so I wonder if this was before your time, or did modesty keep you away? There were 9 squares with the rebus ZZ in them, so if ever there was a puzzle dedicated to you, this was it.Dirigonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903353503511480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-84642786329222500552014-03-05T16:53:12.957-05:002014-03-05T16:53:12.957-05:00Thanks @Diri for your research results - how '...Thanks @Diri for your research results - how 'bout the old "fickle finger of fate" award they used to hand out on Laugh-In?Waxy in Montrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395751487137805245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-19904521653910841272014-03-05T16:05:57.216-05:002014-03-05T16:05:57.216-05:00By the second way, based on the late comments yest...By the second way, based on the late comments yesterday it appears "Synchronauts" (thanks, @strayling) is the favored name for prime-timers who follow and occasionally contribute to the conversation here in syn-city.Dirigonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903353503511480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-48721553752680481382014-03-05T15:59:08.680-05:002014-03-05T15:59:08.680-05:00By the way, my research is incomplete but so far i...By the way, my research is incomplete but so far it appears that WAXY may be the earliest contributor to this blog who still resides in syndiland.

I thought, OH,no. Not another day of nit picking and snarky comments. Thankfully not totally the case. This is a day of delightful alternatives and fun wordplay, with a little sparring thrown in.<br /><br />I like a puzzle that stimulates the creative juices, and obviously this one did. Also, it was fun. Got the theme with ELGIN BAYLOR. For those too young to remember, ELGIN was a master of grace and smoothness on the court. He was beautiful to watch.<br /><br />@Spacey I had the same thought about musicals.<br /><br />SKORTs are not just for golf, but they're absurd, uncomfortable and ugly (except on Michelle Wei).Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156872089175084024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-61974168516548163752014-03-05T12:15:00.747-05:002014-03-05T12:15:00.747-05:00One thumb up, for the long downs and the brilliant...One thumb up, for the long downs and the brilliant WoodroWWIlson, and one down for the yucko fill.<br /><br />Of late, I've noticed a disturbing proliferation of N- and A-TESTS. Let us draw up a N/ATEST BAN TREATY!<br /><br />SHADOWBOX is great--thanx to @lms for noticing the WBO--but do we have to PAYTOPLAY with PRS/OME/SIDEA? Oh yeah: in the treaty, we'll include a clause for banning SIDEA and SIDEB. These crutches grate against my very eyes.<br /><br />Luckily I ran into the inexplicable letter crush of JPEG just last week, or the NE might never have gotten done. However, @Matt, what's wrong with OAST? That's an actual W*O*R*D!! Not a proper name, not an acronym, not an abbr. or a Romanumeral--a WORD! It's fine. What else is a word in that whole section? Don't say HYPO: that's actually an abbreviation for hypodermic ["needle" understood].<br /><br />As to the theme, I'm in tune with many others who wish all the entries had their "organizations" in a row instead of scattered.<br /><br />Really? Muscals have only II ACTs?
