One of the many things I love about puzzlemaking: the crazy, I-hadn’t-planned-on-using-that-entry entry that suddenly appears in the grid. It’s an opportunity to show off the warehouse of trivia I’ve seemed to amass over the years. Anyway, one of those entries popped up in the above grid, and there was No Frigging Way I Was Going to Remove It. Probably made my job that much harder. Oh well. Gotta love that bulldogged/determined vision. In case you care, highlight the space after the colon to see what entry I’m talking about: CHUCK BARRIS
Hey folks, it’s the end of the month again, and if you happened to like the September puzzles, please consider a small donation to the BEQ tip jar. Pay what you like, $10, $20, or Hell, tip nothing, the site will go on no matter what. As a token of my appreciation, I will make one randomly selected donor the hidden subject of an upcoming puzzle on this blog. Thanks again.
Oh, and before I forget, the new Glasser album is great. But those who are into that sort of thing already knew that. I posted a YouTube of one of the songs up above. Enjoy. Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
How appalled am I that my first fill, without even thinking was CHUCKBARRIS? Not nearly as appalled as I am that I got ZACEFRON off two crosses. :/
“Colorless gas”? How many gases do you know that aren’t colorless? “_____ Lee”? You know how many semi-famous Lee’s there are? Next time I think you should just put “You guys are clever, you’ll figure it out!” XD And crossing a rap producer with a biblical figure was pretty evil. I guessed wrong so DNF by my criteria.
Loved HIVEMIND, DRTEETH and WROTH. RETIP and THATSAGO, not so much.
Got the D in Abednego when the “and Abednego” from the refrain “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego” popped into my head. You aren’t the only one who has a warehouse of trivia!
I’d think post-movie that 57A wouldn’t be too obscure, but maybe not.
