But I agree with just about every complaint registered already.<br /><br />In addition, if A$APROCKY is indeed spelled with a dollar sign (and it is), then the clue for EA$YMONEY is just plain wrong, because the English phrase "Easy money" as clued by "Gain with little effort" does not include a dollar sign -- it's part of the English language and not subject to cuteness like that. Had the clue referred to the 1983 movie "EA$Y MONEY" with Rodney Dangerfield, then it would have been valid.Bananafishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-17768951855722448102017-09-05T08:26:25.871-04:002017-09-05T08:26:25.871-04:00@Anonymous 10:14 PM - It's Selena's ex Jus...@Anonymous 10:14 PM - It's Selena's ex Justin Biever who is Canadian.thefogmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870509029973778266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-4402795525543928952017-09-04T22:14:57.898-04:002017-09-04T22:14:57.898-04:00My bad.

Come on, you can't say "century" to mean 100 of just any old thing; that's unfair. When I saw "Political century" it made absolutely no sense to me. It's football season, so I'm donning the stripes and here's where I throw my first hankie of the season. It might have squeaked by were it not next to TWEEST. There is simply no DEFENSE, MANTOMAN or otherwise, for that entry, so the two of them get fifteen YDS.<br /><br />Many other WOES hindered the solve--it's a wonder I finished. Lotta guesswork.<br /><br />-->CANILIVE? Never heard that one. Ask that around here and some idiot is likely to pull out a gun and say "No." Blam! Stupid expression.<br /><br />-->HOURANGLE. Okay, I learned something new. Props there.<br /><br />-->DAYSAILS. Can that possibly be a thing? Oh, I only DAYSAIL; I'm afraid to take the boat out after dark. Or, don't be late: the Titanic DAYSAILS at noon today. DAYSAIL; night sink. Oh well.<br /><br />-->and then there's DEADEST. "He's dead, Jim." "How dead is he?" "He's the DEADEST body I've ever seen." Oh, I get it all right: the clue seems to refer to a lifeless party or other social gathering. But come on now, seriously, have you EVER used that word? A body--or a party--is either dead or it isn't. CANILIVE?<br /><br />-->I almost hate to even mention the 9-letter rapper that had to be filled in on crosses. Last letter of the solve was running the alphabet all the way to Y for YAM. <br /><br />Despite these difficulties, and wHEW before PHEW, I got this one done. Still not exactly sure how. The puzzle is not without some lively entries amid tough cluing, but there's stuff that shouldn't be there. Let's give the DOD nod to the equally lively Mary Lou RETTON. Maybe not a "10," but at least she scored one. Par.
