Two quick hits for today:
First off, I just found out that for those who are using Stand Alone’s Crosswords program, they are now selling a pack of some of the greatest hits from The Onion puzzle. Y’all know I contribute. And if you didn’t know who else made the puzzles, now you know: Byron Walden, Francis Heaney, Ben Tausig, Deb Amlen, Tyler Hinman and the miracle Matts (Gaffney and Jones). Anyway, it’s a great program, you have access to just about every puzzle you could possibly want, and it runs on all smartphone platforms now, even Droids. (Oh yeah, I have a puzzle pack myself, just sayin’). Anyway, get thee to it.
Secondly: something to be filed under the “Hunh?” category. The puzzles of yours truly appears to be a “measuring stick” for rating the quality of whiskey. I’m guessing that’s a good thing. Behold The Malt Impostor.
That’s all I got. Share the puzzle. New one tomorrow.
Even though I haven’t been tracking the Tea Party stuff, I knew most of the names, and 27A is the cleanest joke I’ve heard on that guy’s. 😀
I know somebody who is a producer on the Glenn Beck show. I’m going to send them this.
That’s awesome that you are a measuring stick. By me, you’re champagne, but I guess whiskey is good too. Congrats!
If anyone reading this blog has received a MacArthur Grant why not nominate BEQ for one? He deserves a wider recognition of his talents than he is currently getting.
Loved this puzzle. I would have said you would rate it Easy, because I solved it. I was a little slow to pick up the theme, but Dick ARMEY finally clarified things. BTW, when our first child was born one of the pediatricians who saw her was named Youngpeters. And with a first name of Richard, he went by ‘Dick.’ In the words of Dave Barry, I am Not Making This Up.
