Strict sabbath observer of old / SUN 4-30-17 / 1920s anarchist in prominent trial / Discontinued Toyota line / Gifford's successor on TV / Kenan's former Nickelodeon pal / Activity in dohyo / Yankee Sparky who wrote Bronx zoo / Special agent gibbs's beat

Constructor: Alan Arbesfeld

Relative difficulty: Easy


THEME: "New England Chatter" — I have no *&$%ing idea what is happening. I think there's some attempt to make wacky phrases based on the idea of a "New England" accent, but mainly there appear to be simply a dropping of Rs (?). Just seems pseudo-British, really...

Theme answers:
  • SPOCK PLUGS (22A: Commercials for a "Star Trek" movie?) (why "movie"?)
  • A CALL TO OMS (24A: Yoga teacher's invitation?) (oy, see below)
  • HOT SPECIALIST (36A: Weather forecaster in Phoenix?)
  • THE BOD OF AVON (51A: Most in-shape person at a cosmetics company?)
  • PASSING MOCK (69A: Ridicule shouted out of a moving car?)
  • INSTANT COMMA (87A: Quickly added bit of punctuation?)
  • A SHOT IN THE DOC (100A: What allowed one physician to get through flu season?)
  • LOW COB DIET (116A: Regimen with limited intake of corn?)
  • IT'S MY POTTY? (119A: Toddler's cry upon entering the bathroom?) (ICK
Word of the Day: EUTERPE (38D: Sister of Erato) —
In Greek mythology, Euterpe (/juːˈtɜːrp/; Greek: Eὐτέρπη, Greek pronunciation: [efˈterpi], Ancient Greek: [eu̯térpɛː]; "rejoicing well" or "delight" from Ancient Greek εὖ 'well' + τέρπειν terpein 'to please') was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry[1] and depicted holding a flute. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention. (wikipedia)

This is the most ill-conceived, DOA Sunday theme I can remember seeing. Ever. The fact that this saw the light of day indicates that Sunday submissions must be at dire, emergency levels. Even if this puzzle had Nailed It, conceptually, managing to turn ordinary phrases into phrases that sound like a Bostonian was saying them, it would've been corny and old hat. Done, done and done. Trite. Again, that's the *best* case scenario for this theme. The actual case scenario is a disaster, a mishmash of sound changes that resemble precisely nobody's accent. Drop the "R" appears to be the theme. -ARKs and -ARTs go to -OCKs and -OTs. First problem, that is not, in and of itself, characteristically "New England." It's not, as my friend just wrote me, "pahk the cah in hahvad yahd." Just say SPOCK PLUGS. There's nothing "New England" about it. It's just a dumb phrase. And what is up with the title: "New England Chatter." Is that supposed to be a play on "New England Chowder"? Has to be, right? But ... but ... that sound change ... doesn't fit ... at all. Seriously, what is happening? But the biggest, most ridiculous failure of this theme is 24A: A CALL TO OMS. No one—literally, no one—pronounces OMS like it rhymes with MOMS. It's a long "O." It is. It really is. Like, really. Here. Look. Here is a site called "Om Cooking: Food to Enlighten Your Palate." Because the pun is on HOME!!!!!!!! OM rhymes with HOME. *Everybody* *Knows* *This*. Is no one minding the store?


Jaw-dropping that this puzzle was accepted. The concept and execution are both sub-3rd-rate-in-flight-magazine fare. The emperor continues to have few if any clothes. I'm done here.

    First, not enough vitriol in the review. This was truly horrible. My passing my "I'm not a robot" test was more fun.
    Second, I'm pretty sure 24A is a play on a call to arms, not a call to moms.

    Yea, this was not good and that includes WOE's RACEME and DROPSEAT, and extends to ATRI and CCL. Well, at least the Caps lost again.

  3. Well, not too much to add to Rex' review. Agree with his assessment of theme but liked LOW COB DIET and A SHOT IN THE DOC as Bostonian phrases. Did not know MOTE and had RoY so dnf on top of being disappointed overall. Also needed all the crosses for RACEME and EUTERPE which were WOES for me. Had ET ALIa for a while and to support Rex' point, had A CALL TO aMS and wanted to sneak an H in. Finally, did not believe that HOT SPECIALIST was really the right answer given the clue. All in all pretty choppy.

  4. I imagined Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch's recently resurrected over-the-top Bostonian characters from SNL while reading the theme answers, while made me smile a bit at the absurdity of it, but overall I just didn't enjoy solving this very much and the truly horrible ACALLTOOMS really did it in.

    Not a great puzzle, but not terrible either. One wonders why the guy who runs this blog continually rails against the puzzle.Why wouldn't, one wonders, the owner of this blog stop critiquing a puzzle that he regularly deems inferior ? The answer is obvious of course. Without Will Shortz Rex is just another SUNY professor. One wonders why that's not enough.

  6. Puzzles like this are why I do Acrostics.

    And to RAD2626--who did not know "mote'--the only reason I knew it was the remarkable "The Mote in God's Eye," which was called by no less an expert than Robert A. Heinlein "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read." As good as it gets.

  8. Kind is a slog, but I didn't hate it as much as my fellow posters. A few of the theme answers made me grin, SPOCK PLUGS, LOW COB DIET and IT'S MY POTTY were kinda cute.

  9. I solved in waning sunlight on a warm patio. These Sunday printouts feature teensy squares; broken record. But solving in natural light is the remedy and I highly recommend the practice.

    Regional dialects are impossible to depict by mimicking the sounds using other real words. Rex knows that, but chooses to find fault with the accuracy of the perceived sounds. Anybody who tried to assume the role of pronunciation authority would fail quickly. Regional dialects still exist in this country and throughout the English speaking world. I had an intense yoga experience this morning and it was indeed A CALL TO OMS. Yogis and yoginis say OM many different ways. My mom was from the Ozarks and yesterday was Fridee and today was Sardee when see spoke. I had fun last year on our Moby-Dick trip to New Bedford, Nantucket, Mystic, and Pittsfield. The people we met spoke in close proximity to normal.

    A tip: get to know your Classical Muses. Not so much her jobs, but the length of her names. EUTERPE has the killer name, but I'm fond of Urania and they both contain perky vowels. (Blush)

    Something bizarre about TOE TO TOE.

  10. Easy and yep...

    Yep vs. Yup

    "Yep" is active; it is a go-getter; it implies that you are excited to respond in the affirmative, and is more playful than using "yes" but less committal than "definitely" or "absolutely". "Yup", on the other hand, is slow, perhaps drawling.

    Perhaps this was easy, but I found it a real slog. Could not get into a groove, and took too long to realize what the theme was. Ended up taking about 2/3 longer than my average time for a Sunday. Seemed like there were a ton of short words.

    I think I spend a third of my time pondering what was obviously one bad answer before I finally figured out what it should be. And now it wasn't one of the ones people have complained about above.)And I'm too embarrassed to admit to.)

    Happy to say that I last got EUTERPE based on the first couple letters, although I was close to writing in EUTERPa.

    Of the theme answers, a couple were okay, most notably LOWCOBDIET. I hadn't figured out the theme yet nor filled in the SE yet, so I was starting to think it might be some sort of palaeoDIET.

  17. Some like this type of wordplay humor, and I don't see why those who don't should prevail and block the publishing of this type of puzzle. Those who chuckle at this type of wordplay deserve their due from time to time.

    This particular theme has been done before, as the constructor notes over at XWordInfo and present a fairly good justification for his reusing the theme. I have to agree with his basic premise.

    But I have to agree with Mr. Chen concerning the puzzle as a whole. The fill was bad enough to suggest Mr. Shortz ought to have requited a revision. Amen to that.

  18. I do not agree with Rex or any other naysayers. The author did show Boston type of accents with a different spelling.
    This led to common phrases. Good job.
    I took longer than usual as I tried to suss each themer with very few or no letters.
    Liked the cluing for FOAMS and GEICO.
    My only writeover was SCION for Supra.

    It's not even a Boston accent. It's a Kennedy accent. It is a real accent but no one really talks this way in the Boston area except, as I said, the Kennedys.

  27. "Mote in God's Eye" was by Pournelle and Niven, not Heinlein! I found this puzzle slightly tougher than usual, but enjoyed the accent play, possibly because I'm far enough removed from it (based in Toronto) that I didn't notice the inconsistencies.

    @Rex's SNIT was worth the price of admission. IT'S his POTTY and he'll outcry if he wants to!

    My parents both had Boston accents, so Mrs. 'mericans and I got the trick early on, with SPOCK PLUGS. But A CALL TO OMS is a stretch.

    Which CALLs for a true story. When my family moved south from L.L. BEAN land to the Miami area, my younger brother was just starting school. (This was a time when parents, even of young children, didn't worry about them walking a mile to school and back through suburban streets.) After the first week, my brother started arriving home a half-hour later than previously. "Why?" my Mom wanted to know. "Because teacher is keeping me after school, to give me speech lessons," he answered, sheepishly. You can imagine what the following day's spontaneous parent-teacher conference was like! Despite his regional speech impediment, I am happy to report that my brother did end the semester with a PASSING MOCK.

    against him: if thou canst cuckold him, thou dost
    thyself a pleasure, me a sport. There are many
    events in the womb of time which will be delivered.
    Traverse! go, provide thy money. We will have more
    of this to-morrow. Adieu.

    IAGO: Farewell; for I must leave you:
    It seems not meet, nor wholesome to my place,
    To be produced--as, if I stay, I shall--
    Against the Moor: for, I do know, the state,
    However this may gall him with some cheque,
    Cannot with safety cast him, for he's embark'd
    With such loud reason to the Cyprus wars,
    Which even now stand in act, that, for their souls,
    Another of his fathom they have none,
    To lead their business: in which regard,
    Though I do hate him as I do hell-pains.
    Yet, for necessity of present life,
    I must show out a flag and sign of love,
    Which is indeed but sign. That you shall surely find him,
    Lead to the Sagittary the raised search;
    And there will I be with him. So, farewell.

    @chefbea ...Asheville is beautiful right now! Enjoy!

    Tough puzzle for me, dk TALIA, CHAO, ADIA, AGITA and RACEME, but rHEA really messed up NE.
    As a Southern hillbilly, tough parsing the sounds. We drop Rs also at times, drawl the vowels, and add "r's" to endings.

    This was a dnf since I need the "check" to change Fang to FLEA. And then I see most others thought easy. Tought and not fun. Oh well.

    I agree 100% with @Rex and the naysayers about the theme . Transforming AR into O does not make a "New England" accent. There are many different regional accents from Maine to Connecticut, but none of them I know sounds much like these (especially not arms = OMS). I'm from Boston. I remember JFK. JFK sounded nothing like this. However, I thought the fill was quite good, especially the longer non-themers. I found the puzzle challenging, a good Sunday workout, even with the silly theme.

    Thank you Rex for the no-holds-barred review. I have gotten into the habit of checking your blog on Sundays before tackling the puzzle in order to find out if it is worth the bother. You saved me a lot of it today it would seem. I will scour the archive instead for something a lot more entertaining and challenging. Btw, I agree wholeheartedly about the pronunciation of "om." "Om" is where the "art" is, so long as you're Cockney.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just NO all around. It's the wrong vowel all the way. As a native New Englander, I can attest it would never be a SPOCK PLUG: it's a spahk plug. And a shot in the dahk not DOC, And a call to ahms, not OMS, and so on, I didn't mind the puzzle otherwise, but the wrong-vowel problem grated on me all the way through.

    This reminds me of a trip many years ago to Plymouth Rock. They have one display at the end that talks about how many other "strange" accents we hear today which included my Texan accent (this was demonstrated by a recording of the Lord's prayer). I suppose the assumption was that mostly Bostonians would visit Plymouth Rock and certainly their accent is not "strange"---LOL. Took a long time to figure out and parse "a call to oms". That answer definitely missed the mark.

  42. Rex and fellow pilers-on are being unfair. I have absolutely met people who talk this way. So maybe it's a "Boston" accent rather than a "New England" accent -- I mean, come on.

    "Bod of Avon" and "instant comma" are as good as any you'll see of this type of wordplay. Of course it's hokey. So what?

  44. The puns were fossed and conny. The clues were totsherred. (I'm thinking of you, 41D. And you, 62D. Among others). The fill was ahh-full. (I'm thinking of you, EFS, STAC and NOU.) Just a really, really BAHd puzzle on all counts. Oh, and I Naticked on the KEL/A CALL TO OMS cross. Well actually it was worse than that. You see, I had rHEA instead of THEA at 25D. So What I had was roOMS, not OMS. And so I ended up with the immortal A CALm roOMS for the yoga teacher's invitation. (The whole time, I was thinking of @Aketi and hoping she could help me out. But she couldn't.) As I say, really BAHd. BAH.

  46. Playing devil's advocate for a second (regretfully), I note that Random House Unabridged has only one pronunciation for "Om," and it's "ahm." So while everybody knows it's "ohm," officially, it ain't. [/devil's advocate] Any theme entry that relies on a technically correct but universally disbelieved element should be removed from contention instantly.

  47. the fill was bad, the theme answers were mostly terrible. it ended up taking me well over my average sunday time. i won't waste more of my sunday listing out all of the bad fill. my biggest problem came from having RHEA instead of THEA which, together with not knowing LUCI, and the fact that it is a horrible answer, made it impossible for me to get CALLTOOMS. NOU also gave me way too much trouble.

  48. Wm. C.10:23 AM


    I have no problem with the theme, but as a native Bostonian (albeit from the suburbs) I can tell you that genuine Boston accent is an "ah" for R, not a "oh." Except, as someone noted, perhaps, the Kennedys, who were probably warped by their time in England and their attempt to sound aristocratic. @Rex is right on this point, but he's a bit over-the-top today.

    As a matter of fact, though, there's far less of this accent in Boston and the immediately surrounding area (and NOT all New England, as also noted above), than there was 50 years ago. Also, less-pronounced accents in other regional dialects. Primarily due, I think, to "the Tom Brokaw effect" (National TV with no accents, except in typecasting a character).

    Calling salt (French sel) a condiment is a bit of a reach. It is considered a condiment by some, granted, but not by most. Should have been clued differently.

    @Chefbea -- Have fun in Asheville, a beautiful city. Nice weather this time of year, also even in summer at its altitude. And while you 're there, don't miss the nearby Biltmore estate; go online and sign up in advance for a guided tour, where you get to see all the back-corridors behind the rope barriers.

  49. I enjoyed it. Was worried in the beginning but had my "ah ha" moment with Low Cob Diet. Maybe ACall to OMS was stretching the Boston accent but in general if I can get the theme and not use Google for answers, I'm happy. I find Rex's constant negativity a bit trying. I don't think he's liked a NYT puzz in about a year. I appreciate his solution though.

    Fast and difficult-because the themers seemed wrong even though I have studied at the feet of Click and Clack. Actually "Chatter" is the worst one.
    But I still enjoyed it, because it's a puzzle with some decent fill. I confidently filled in HERA instead of THEA, which messed me up for awhile.
    @ED, *chuckle* to your eruption comment. Very meta.

  54. @anon 12:08, of course it's "arms" not "moms," but that's not the point. The point is that, for a wacky New England accent to make sense, OMS would have to be pronounced "ahms," rhyming with "moms."

    And yes, that one stuck out like a really sore thumb, so sore you want to chop it off, though the rest of the theme didn't bother me.

  55. Hey All !
    Echoes can be heard in the almost empty room where I'm standing, as I'm in the group who actually liked this puz. The "New England" accents were close enough for a crossword puzzle. If you used "actual" accents, like pahk and yahd, there wouldn't be themers that made any sense. I do agree about the A CALL TO OMS offness, and HOT SPECIALIST is also not the best, but for me, the theme works. It's like puns, you just gotta tweak the ole brain and suspend logicalness for a bit. Have fun. Just sayin.

    This puz took me average SunPuz time. Did have a DNF, though. Not known ESSENE plus PASSINGjOCK/jAW. Had oSSENa for ESSENE, and parsed PASSINGjOCK as jerk. Har.

    Wrote in ETALI_ and waited in the cross for that final letter. Do the same with clues like Mauna ___, just write in final A and wait on crosses. Saves a writeover!

    ACID ROCK is weird. Is that really a thing? Or was it a thing in the 60's/70's?

    There are some nice entries in here. I've said several times, all puzzles have ICK. Some here, but they get cancelled out by the good entries. So, no AGITA for me!

  59. I am definitely not up on my Greek mythology. I had the same experience as @Nancy, up in the NE. 25D was rHEA forever so 24A was never going to fall. I assumed the theme part of the answer losing the R sound would be in the first half. I didn't know KEL and was shaky on LUCI. Yup, double DNF right there. It doesn't help that I had no idea Yoga involved any OMS. With ACAL_rOOMS in place, I was doomed to repeating out loud "acarl rooms", trying to figure out what common phrase that was.

    I found most of the theme phrases fun though I think the clue for 87A didn't work. Maybe if you made it refer to a grammar auto-correction? "Quickly added" ≠ INSTANT in my book, but I loved it as an answer.

    Lots of mistakes for me today; I went eyE TO eyE, though since I'm not the tallest person, I'm more likely to go TOE TO TOE. I had "starts" at the start, at 66D, which gave me "aflac" and then "aEtna" instead of GEICO. It was as if I had gone deaf, considering how long it took me to "hear" TURN IT UP at 48A. "Hangs loose" was "droops" rather than CHILLS. And my attempt to use the anachronistic MISdIaLs at 89D was a definite case of MISTITLing.

    I loved seeing CHASSIS and SMARM, DEAD SET ON, WHISKED AWAY, and COALESCE. I need to add RACEME to my crossword GRID vocabulary. And I think I'm going to start wearing headbands and asking "how d'ya like my HALOES?"

    I'm with @RooMonster: Nice Sunday puzz, thanks Alan Arbesfeld.

  61. Far-fetched theory: It's "New England" because it combines the Kennedy ar => ah with the Down East Maine ah => oh. As I said, far-fetched.

    Me, too, for rHEa -- she's my go-to mother -- and looking for some kind of yoga rooms. No idea about KEL, so it was just luck I finished.

    And I put in butt dial with great confidence for 89D, "call wrongly."

    Hardest part was seeing LL BEAN as a J Crew competitor, since I don't believe the latter sells fishing gear, guns, or rubber-bottomed boots.

  64. Electricity is back on so I can fix my Sunday Egg-in-a-hole.
    Started this late last night, plopped in SPOCK PLUGS and thought "Oh goody, accents." I'm pretty good with dialects and can mimic the best of them. I prefer the Spanish variety but a lazy Boston is pretty good as well. I remember the very first time I heard the accent, it was in Spain of all places. One of the ASM newly arrived teachers had a thick one. I asked her if she was from Brooklyn.
    I think what turned me off is that it felt like it was trying a bit too hard. I got tired of all the "?" clues that had nothing to do with the theme. So many of the clues were the same o same o. I mean there's Pan Am rival = TWA [dead dead dead] as well as the starting clues for GRID GASH A SNAP and LEONI. If you're going to use tried and true crossword staple, please make the cluing more fresh...Please...
    Can someone tell me why RACE ME is a flower arrangement? [33A). Sinatra was a Sicilian before he decided to be a BARITONE but I love the word and the use of EPHEMERA. I use that word when describing cook books.
    If I ever hear someone, in normal conversation, say EKES OUT, I will fall into an INSTANT COMMA.

  70. I agree with Rex more often than not, but not today. I had no problem with the theme idea, and the execution was not bad (OMS being the exception). Faulting the spelling for not exactly reproducing the Boston accent feels like nitpicking to me.

    My problem with this puzzle was that some of the fill was Maleskan. RACEME? sure and I'll leave you in my dust. EUTERPE? well you're kind of an ass yourself. ADIA? no, I have no adia what that means.

    I still have no idea why certain commenters feel the need to attack Rex personally just because they disagree with his comments. That's something Trump would do.

    Once I got SPOCK PLUGS, I realized I was licked because I was having a hard enough time just getting the theme phrases, never mind figuring out how the Bostonian phonetics were going to be handled. Had to look up a whole lot of clues and was stumped anyway (e.g., the 'net gave me THEIA but the puzzle wanted THEA). 84D "Completely convinced about" is just wrong. You can be completely convinced that smoking causes cancer and be DEAD SET ON having another cig anyway. And what is ETALII (A27 Roster shortener)? I get ET AL, but what's the "II"? Finally, LLBEAN is absolutely NOT a competitor of J. Crew. Folks who shop at J. Crew wouldn't be caught dead wearing LLBean. Phooey!

    @Nancy, your post did more to pull me out of my BAH humbug mood than listening to Rex's link to the "ahoooooooooooooOOuuuuuuuuM ting".

    I was contemplating how my husband is not a HOT SPECIALIST when I sent him out for salon pas hot patch for my back this morning. He came back with the Walmart version which never got hot. He tried again and came back with a salon pas mentholated antiinflammatory infused cold patches instead. I figure I'll give the cool mint version a try because clearly his heat patch seeking system is a little off today.

    @Larry Gilstrap, sometimes my MMA instructors were literally make us spar standing TOE TO TOE so we learn how to block punches and fight at close range. So it's not so bizarre in my world.

    Unlike almost all other objects that toddlers claim as their own, I've never seen or heard of a toddler claiming ITS MY POTTY even if they have cute little duckies or bunnies or Elmo on them. Mayt parents I knew during the toilet training phase ended up bribing them to use the potty, including the often used aim for the cheerios trick with boys. I didn't intentionally bribe my son when I took him to a movie where the restroom toilets had blue water in the bowls. He was so delighted in his ability to turn the water SEA green and
    I was equally delighted that he was instantly POTTY trained.

    Great story, 'mericans.

    I went to prep school in Southern New Hampshire 1958-1962. There were, I learned, several New England accents. The Maine accent honored in "Bert and I." The Vermont accent, honored in "You can't get theah from heah." The aristocratic accent, spoken by the Kennedys, but also by the Saltonstalls, and pretty close to the aristocratic New York accent spoken by FDR and often heard in Hollywood movies (our Principal was a Saltonstall when I was there, and he had a cousin who was Senator from New Hampshire, sounded much like him, too).

    And then there was the Boston accent. In 1958 my mother and I were totally confused when she asked a clerk at Filene's how to find the subway back to Copley Square. "Pack Street" she said. We would of course have understood "Pahk Street." But "Pack"??? Yet that was, and to some extent still is, how Bostonians who did not go to Hahvahd actually talked. (We did at last find Park St and the underground streetcar there).

    The Boston accent was little changed as you went North. At least, the townies at Exeter High talked that way. Yet a few miles away, was the charming old town, Pawtsmuth, and across from it, you were in Maine with its own unique way of talking (according to E.B. White, who lived near Blue Hill and Brooklin, a very common word, soon adopted by his son, was Bayster (bastard).

    But I digress. The puzzle was clever and quite hard, and I must admit I did not grok the probable error with OMS. But for all I know, some New Englanders would pronounce it "ahms" or more likely, "aams". (BTW. Vermonters from the Green Mountains, up around Greensboro, still talk in that Vermont accent. But Western Vermonters from Burlington and Rutland sound just like upstate New Yorkers, with only te slightest and occasional dropping of "r"s.)

    I'm not a fan of themed puzzles, especially punny themes so most of this was just a slog. In between the excessive themers and the crossword superglue there was some worthwhile material. I liked the obliqueness of the clue for NEGLECT. There wasn't enough of that kind of fill to compensate for the overall tedium. Other than the wacky themes there's really nothing original. SIMPS only gets a mention due to its being plural. Luckily I have number of Fridays and Saturdays from '95 to work on.

  89. We did what @Nancy did. RHEA for THEA. Actually said that the Pun could be "A Call To Arms" but OMS in no way translates to "arms" in the Boston accent, so we'll stay with RHEA. Maybe there's some yoga position that sounds like ACALL with a Boston accent. Missed by a mile.

    Never like local accent puzzles, and the above is why. It's anybody's guess how they actually should be represented. And Hollywood overdoes them to death, so they're never truly accurate. Unfortunate here, because some of the puns were damned clever, the puzzle had some awesome words like EPHEMERA, ESSENE, RACEME, and COALESCE, strong long downs like PROTESTVOTE and WHISKEDAWAY - and I always love me a little ACIDROCK.

    @RAD626 - I'll second your vote on Greenville, SC. I was down there in the early '60s for a week and flat hated the place. Spent some time there off and on over a three year period less than a decade ago and have a completely different opinion. Hell of a town.

    You apparently want him to go away and have someone else take over the blog. That is not going to happen and you know it. So, you make personal attacks on him that are clearly without basis and, in a show of how reasonable and fair he is, Rex leaves them there.

    None of the regulars on this blog agree with Rex 100% or maybe not even most of the time. But, it is his show and, if you don't like it, don't read it!

    Today was an especially bad time for Rex haters. Virtually every regular solver and blogger wholeheartedly agreed with his assessment, some of whom candidly admit they don't read his reviews. Why don't you join them and save your vitriol for some political person or doctrine you don't agree with. Who knows, maybe you can lower your blood pressure.

    Funny "Bahston" accent anecdote: Bandleader Artie Shaw once asked one of his assistants to order some new folders for the band's sheet music. The guy called a printer, who dutifully wrote down the band's name exactly as he heard it over the phone. Shaw's assistant, however, had a thick Boston accent -- so imagine everyone's delight when the folders came back emblazoned with the name: "Ottie Shore and his Orchestra"! According to the story, Shaw got such a kick out of it that he held onto those folders and used them for years.

    Hi @Roo, I'm a 60's teen and yes, ACIDROCK is a thing...not my thing, but a thing.

    I got a kick out of the theme, and as a MA/RI/VT/CT New Englander I found the ah distinction negligible. It was cute. It worked. It wasn't horribly obvious. It didn't use Oreo or Ono. It didn't use obscure sports terms or players. It played a little slower than usual which means it wasn't too easy. I loved it. What's not to like? Don't answer that again, please.

  107. @Nancy, A CALM ROOMS is not only inimitable but also not in the language :-). And in my MN accent, the L in CALM or palm is pronounced, which would cause it to not meet the strictures of the theme.

    Since I made the rHEA error, I thought I'd look up THEA. As someone else pointed out, the main Google hits show the name as THEiA, so perhaps a "var." in the clue might have inspired me to rethink rHEA? Probably not.

    Late to the posting but wanted to chime in .... agree with the sentiments of several people who didn't mind the puzzle and would like to see it in perspective, especially appreciated GPO who seems to have read my mind (thank you!). As a person who lives in the Boston area, I can say that this accent absolutely can still be found and while one could nitpick about the "ah" vs the "oh," why do it? This is just supposed to be fun and for heaven's sake, you all know where it was going, so it was easy to suss out!!
    Having said that, I actually didn't find it easy, mostly from the fill, and agree that it was a "medium," after going to references when I stalled.

    Anyway, I do enjoy the other posters' comments -- this is crowd sourcing at its best, to get different perspectives and insights. In fact, I often just skim Rex's comments since I find them too negative, but I do appreciate that he has created this forum and give him snaps for that

  122. Sorry if I missed it in all the responses above, but can anyone explain why "efs" is a Buffet centerpiece, and what the heck "No mas" means? Overall, I agree that this was a pretty stupid puzzle. So dumb, in fact, that it was not nearly as easy as Rex concludes. Maybe I would have had more fun if I had started with "Spock plugs" instead of "Instant comma," which made no sense at all.

    @ Fred The middle letters of buFFet are "efs". No MAS is Spanish for "No more." Rememberthe boxer Roberto Duran? (Sp?) Posting late, as we in The Great White North receive this puzzle the following Saturday and love to read the comments. Did not enjoy this slog BTW. :)

  125. This GRID was not totally ASNAP as I had several minor issues in the NE by starting out kicking up dUSt, my ROCK was hard at first, and before my chance was FAT it was odd. All eventually fixed, but at least 45 minutes on the CLOCK.

    Yeah babies galore AMONG acting talents Tia LEONI and TALIA Shire, rocker Chrissie HYNDE, and annoying KELly RIPA, but today will be DAME Helen Mirren's day, perhaps as the BODOFAVON?

    I dunno, maybe we should be rethinking the 21x21 Sunday format. I can get through a 15x15 even if it's bad, but this? DNF. Just couldn't stomach any more after getting (read: slogging) about halfway down. I worked in the flower industry almost TWENTY YEARS and I NEVER, EVER ONCE heard of "RACEME." To me, that spells a playground challenge. And I'm sorry, but despite having read Bulfinch's Mythology cover-to-cover I still don't know who Helios' mother was, or Erato's sister. It was when I got to the Egyptian spotted cat that I threw up (my hands). WHO KNOWS THIS CRAP? And how in blazes could you call this easy???

    Already I had put up with NOU, KEL (???) and the RRN. It was just too much. It was like trying to walk with an ivy vine twisted around my feet. Besides, I had already filled in THEBODOFAVON, and was positive that was the high point. If I take nothing else away from this, I have one good guffaw--but it's not nearly enough.

    DOD candidates abound; RIPA, LEONI, TALIA ETALII. I'll pick lovely Tea LEONI. Too bad they're mired in all this. No score for a DNF.

    And oh yeah: I'd say that Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly were heavy metal, NOT "ACIDROCK." Back to the fifteeners!

  128. Rex said it all. I hate gimmick puzzles, this is Exhibit A on why they suck hard. Also, I agree that those groups were NOT AcidRock, and apparently the constructor doesn't know that. There is more to say but I've wasted enough time on this.
    And I got the solve. Meh.

    I'm at odds with Rex (and many others, it appears) on this one.

    The theme is near-great. The substitution of "O" for "ar" in the themers captures the New England, especially the stereotypic Boston, accent, almost perfectly--with the exception of OMS for "arms". Can't trash the puzzle for that one slip.

    Did have a problem accepting RACEME, and stared at NOU too long, but got a nice "aha" moment out of it.

    Toss in some other clever non-theme clues like "Roster shortener" for ETALII, and you get a fun, satisfying solve for a leisurely (i.e., time-taking) Sunday.

  133. I was diagnosed with HERPES AND COPD about 3 years ago. At first, I was emotionally devastated. My symptoms were bad, and I just felt like I was going to die. My dentist didn't want to see me anymore when I told her that I had the virus, and my family reacted very badly. It was quite an effort, but I didn't give up. Just few months ago i found a traditional healer in health forum, who cured me with his herbal medicine, i had the treatment for two weeks and everything was ok with me, i m so much exited that i got hundred percent rid to the virus out of my life.

    I just want to advice everyone out there to please take to my advice now. There are a lot of herbal doctors but there is none like the Great herbal doctor that helped me get rid of my herpes virus. Just few months back here, i could no longer sleep because of my herpes disease and having known that i am 16weeks pregnant, i didn't want anything bad to happen to my baby and me either so i searched everywhere for help but didn't get any and i started to use really hard drugs from the hospital that i was told to use by my doctor and still i kept getting outbreaks and really hurts and was so scared of loosing my baby or my life either so i thought of browsing the internet for help and i saw several testimonies about Dr Akpan curing people of their herpes disease and with no further thoughts, i contacted Dr Akpan on his email that i saw akpanherbalhelp@gmail.com, i shared with him my problem and he gave me hope that i must be cured and my baby will be okay, gave me some instructions and which i hopefully followed. He prepared the herbal medicine and sent to me here in Halton which i used for 14 days as instructed and to be truthful, i started to notice some changes in my body and after another 7days, told me to go for a test, So shocking i was confirmed Herpes negative. I really do not know how to thank him but my God will bless his good works and his generation. I have promised to share to all about his good work and so i advice you to contact him now for your cure on his email: akpanherbalhelp@gmail.com Or his mobile contact +2348143502763 for call and whatsapp.

  135. Uff-da, this puzzle devilled me. I got the New England accent bit quickly (& these pronunciations are close to Down East Maine, with which I'm most familiar), but the NE corner took me a very, very long time, largely because of the 'OM' sound that was intended by the puzzle-maker, versus what I was listening for. Problem was compounded by my mind insisting on 'Rhea.' Sigh.

    I thought the cluing was fine, albeit harder than I'd expected....more Saturday-ish.

    I was challenged, & I was happy when I finished, which is what I want from a puzzle.

    Really, puzzlers.

    It's more fun to approach a puzzle as not only a challenge posed by its writer, but as an opportunity to learn a few factoids I might not otherwise get this morning (yes & no in Nepal; name of sumo wrestling venues; mother of Helios).

    But have a feeling this puzzle was less puzzling for people with a memory of times when there was only acid rock, and no heavy metal. Or who actually flew TWA or listened to "Instant Karma."

    Go easy on the mote in Arbesfeld's eye; take care of the beam on your own.

    But I agree: wouldn't call LLBean a J.Crew competitor.

    TESTIMONY OF HOW I GOT CURED FROM (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) BY THE GREAT
    HEALER DOCTOR HOPE.
    Hello everyone my name is Julia farbio I am here to testify of the
    great work Dr Hope did in my life with the help of his herbal
    traditional medicine. I have been suffering from Herpes since 2015 and
    ever since then I have been looking for solutions on how to cure it. I
    have being to different hospitals but I discovered none of them was
    working out for me that I was just wasting money. So I decided to live
    everything to God, then I was taking my medications to sustain my life
    and reduce the pains. So on this particular Sunday morning after
    coming back from service I sat down and begin to ask myself questions,
    then my phone rang behold it was my sister calling which I answered
    the call and she started telling me that a friend of hers who has been
    suffering from same herpes has just been cured by Dr Hope the herbal
    medicine man. Then I was over whelmed, even though I was a little bit
    confused so she encourage me to also give Dr Hope a trial and see for
    myself then I told her to help me get his contact and forward them to
    me, So immediately she got the contact of Dr Hope and send them to me,
    immediately I contacted Dr Hope and he told me everything I needed to

    Hello, everyone! im here to explore blogs and forum about the wonderful and most safe cure for HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV).
    I was positive to the deadly virus called HERPES and i lost hope because i was outcasted and rejected even by my closet friends.
    i searched online to know and enquire about cure for HERPES and i read someone testimony on how he was cured from HSV-2 so i decided to contact the same herbalist because i know that nature has the power to heal everything.
    i contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God!
    after 3 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via DHL and it got to me after 4 days!
    i used the med as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured!
    its really like a dream but im so happy!
    thats the reason i decided to also add more comment of Him so that more can be saved just like me!
    and if you need his help, you can email him on hsvnaturalremedyclinic@gmail.com or whatsapp via +2347033330164

    I am testifying of how i got cured of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS], I got infected with als disease the year 2015,i visited several hospitals, spiritualists and pastors for cure but all to no avail, The world was gradually crushing down on me, my son searched google and read about possible ways to get cured. and he saw a post in a health forum about a herbal spell doctor called DR OSEWE who cure all kind of deadly diseases including HIV AIDS, HERPES TYPE 1 AND 2, MND, Epilepsy, Leukemia, Asthma, Cancer, Gonorrhea e.t.c, at first I got shocked when my son told me about it,but when I read about the doctor myself, I thought of giving him a try because I was really desperate of getting cured. to cut the long story short, when we contacted this herbal spell doctor via email,he prepared a herbal spell portion and sent it to me via courier service, when I received this herbal spell portion, he gave me step by step instructions on how to apply them, so I did without missing any of the step.

    cure me. He sent me the medicine via Dhl delivery service and I received
    the medicine some days after he sent it, i took the medicine as prescribed
    by him. Before the completion of the medication the symptoms stopped. I
    went to the doctor and carried out another blood test, surprisingly I was

    strange! For the past 5years i have spent a lot of money in buying anti-retroviral medicines to strengthen my immune system and keep me healthy, until i read an article on the internet about an Africa Herbalist who uses herbs and roots to cure HIV and all kind of diseases. Thought i never believed he can cure HIV, but i decided to give it a try because i was desperate. Then i sent a message to the him on his email DR.ABUYAHERBALCURE@OUTLOOK.COM He prepared herbal medications and send it to me through DHL COURIER SERVICE and i took it as he instructed. 11days after, i went to the hospital to do a checkup, the result came out and i tested NEGATIVE. I’m sharing this with you, because i believe there’s someone out here who also desire to have this cure. feel free to send a message to him on his email DR.ABUYAHERBALCURE@OUTLOOK.COM or call, AND ALSO CHAT WITH HIM THROUGH VIA WhatsApp OR IMO CHAT OR +2347039225049, and am sure he will be willing to help you and you will also have a testimony to share. please inform other victims about this.

    Hello! I want to share my experience with Herpes Simplex Virus, as i am free forever with this terrible disease. At first I was skeptic if there was any cure for this deadly disease,but gradually after applying DR Molemen traditional herbs medicine the results proved that I was wrong. I was reluctant; it is hard to imagine that you can heal something like this and make yourself look better. However, you can. If you have the initiative to do something you are a step closer to herpes free life.

    getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get itchin me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad!
