I am still not sure why the BERGERE part isn't pluralized. Which is the adjective and which the noun? And isn't one plural and one singular ... and isn't that a problem? I slept / gnashed my teeth all the way through <i>Moulin Rouge</i>. If I'd paid attention, would that have helped me? Maybe the "Bergère" part is somebody's name...<br /><br />RPRex Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-3720395639542791382006-11-26T13:21:00.000-05:002006-11-26T13:21:00.000-05:00My breakthrough on today's puzzle was when I saw t...My breakthrough on today's puzzle was when I saw that Folies Bergere couldn't possibly fit into the space allotted. I thought the crunchword was ER not ERG initially, so I actually had two ERs (B ER G ER E) until I got Edgar Bergen and realized the error of my ways. Diabolical construction. I love those epiphanies, though, when you see that it's going to be one of *those* puzzles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
