“SAY WHEN”: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

I spent a good twenty minutes looking for a suitable picture to run with this puzzle. But I was afraid anything I might have posted would be giving too much of the theme away. Lord knows we all hate spoilers. And with a title like “Say When,” I was doubly afraid of posting a video by The Fray, which isn’t going to happen on my watch. Ever. So instead, and for no other reason than this song is incredible, I’m embedding a lost punk classic by La Peste. Crank it loud while solving the puzzle.
Lest you go, “Hey, Brendan. Isn’t this gimmick #5 on your Ten Bullshit Themes list?” I would say, yes, but you should really reread the second paragraph in that section. I think I’m okay here.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
“I would say, yes, but you should really reread the second paragraph in that section. I think I’m okay here.”
Barely.
Solved it without even needing to know the theme, but I actually like it, even though I’d be hard-pressed to describe it.
And…to show that other Sox fans solve your puzzles, it’s Jake “Peavy”, not “Peavey”.
Keep up the good work!
Solved this puzzle just now,
and I think I
found the theme word. I even
embedded it as an acrostic in this comment so as not to spoil the surprise…
But what does it all mean? Where was a clue for it, and what does it have to do with “Say When”?! What am I missing?
