Like you, thought some late week sophisticated trickery was required to solve there - wasted time, unfortunately.<br /><br />ROLLERBAG/GSN (not ROLLERBAT/TSN apparently) and HUSTLE/DEF (not HASTEN/END) were Natticks for me leading to a DNF. <br /><br />Saving graces were the sublime clues for GLASSEYE and ASTERISKS and the most original means of expressing E=MC2 I've ever seen.

Good and not-so-good, both entertaining and frustrating at the same time.<br /><br />The down answers gave the most fits, starting with long downs HELLACOOL and SETONFIRE. Some of the shorter downs were annoying : GSN, UNI, and the quote-marked clue ‘"Hi” follower' for DEF. Why does HI DEF have quote marks on “Hi”? Meant to misdirect? The midi-length SEMELE and SWAZI didn’t fit very well either. <br /><br />Okay, it is a Saturday puzzle, but more than a WEE bit OFF-putting today.

Never heard of a ROLLERBAG (to me it’s just luggage with wheels) and GSN is just a vapor in my foggy memory bank. But I retrieved it and that was my last entry. My newspaper had a formating error which had the squares in the row right across 55A and 60A (ROMPER OLDHAVANA) twice the size of all the other squares. That made me try to hunt down a theme that did not exist.

Legit-enough words, but *not* with a French-seeming clue. OOHLALA/OOLALA is WWI-Doughboy English for a *mispronounced* French expression, OH LÀ LÀ. Any cluing with the -OO- or -OOH- switcheroo should *not* be Frenchified in any such ham-handed way.Fred Wollamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079333036178727961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-34628706719986038092021-01-03T09:39:49.736-05:002021-01-03T09:39:49.736-05:00Agreed!!!

I always get the pangram, often first, and stop searching at about 20 pts above genius. It's too frustrating striving for QB - too many obscure words, not to mention too many words not recognized.
