THEMLESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
PROGRAM: [Java]
I’ve been busy negotiating some exciting new projects lately, all of them unfortunately had to be kept under wraps under penalty of death. You know how it is. NDAs and all that. Anyway, the ink is finally dry on the biggest and coolest contract, so without further ado, I’d like to announce that starting this summer, the ole’ Biz Quiz will be the Puzzlemaster for “The View.” Tune in on Fridays where BEQ will be on the couch, drinking lattes with the ladies, and playing some games. I’ll be giving them various quizzes on the air that you too can play along with at home. Get ready for word play, charades, Exquisite Corpse marathons, chess problems, and probability distribution logic puzzles!
I know what you’re saying. You’re saying, “Brendan, how meta can you get?” The answer to that is I can and will get more meta. Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve been working with the writers to hide hidden puzzles throughout all the interviews and features for the first week leading up to my debut appearance on June 7th. And all the answers to those puzzles will be needed in order to solve that first puzzle! So get your DVRs ready! Not only so you can go back and figure each one of them out, but also so you can relive the comedy gold that will be Whoopi Goldberg’s face when she doesn’t know what hit her when I announce the meta.
I’m going to be needing loads of “View”-appropriate themes, so feel free to give them to me in the comments.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
Regards of the day.
Today’s puzzle is fantastic. Bravo. And congrats on joining the View!
“The View” is great!!!! I am so excited.
Huge congrats! Can’t wait to see it! Hope you don’t get bleeped too often.
It is a great day for big announcements!
Relatedly, I’ll be the puzzlemaster for a traveling Vaudeville show this summer! The problems will be mostly graduate-level math stumpers. We have stops in Altoona, Keokuk, Walla Walla and Rancho Cucamonga.
Absolutely, positively remarkable… isn’t life fun? Outstanding opportunity. Lucky SOB!
“The View” isn’t my cup o’ tea, so your joining it is pretty much the only thing that might get me to watch it. Congrats!
You had me for a second!! lol
So, so cruel.
😀
What a well-timed announcement after I flopped on the SW corner of today’s puzzle. Thanks, BEQ!
Had to search one of the answers, but for some reason Google Nose didn’t work for me.
Unbelievable! (in every sense of the word)
Congrats on The View! If Rahm Emanuel is the Murder Mayor (say the teachers), I can only imagine an appropriate title for Wayne LaPierre.
Wow. I have never seen ‘The View.’ So now I have to watch it? AND pay attention? You do realize I am quilting, right? And can’t look up?
but I do know how to write one hell of a great fan letter (See? An educated, articulate viewer is extolling our new segment!)….oh, and did I mention my tip jar?
Juuuust kidding. I want Tabitha well-educated, too, you know. She’s my honorary grand-daughter, since I won’t be seeing any with MY genes. Which, BTW, is your cue for More Pictures! I know she is just totally adorable right now; personal experience suggests that the next few years are Maximally Cute, so be ready.
