I've been to Boone, and I've seen the ballet Giselle. Once I changed walk-ons to walk-ins, I got vise and then viaduct--the best answer in it. Gam, I looked up, because I knew it was in Roget's list next to pod. TARP I never found by trying to look up.

Unlike others, I thought the theme was more interesting than most. When I figured out that the second word was always some kind of "talk" -- message, appeal, words, order, direction -- while the first word was a pun on the clue, it wasn't exactly easy but it was quite pleasurable.<br />Smart puzzle, despite the awful holder of bodily fluids. In desperation, I had both "nurses" and "purses" at that one for a while.
