Sort of weirdish puzzle today. Hope you enjoy it.
Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Joon Pahk) and Marching Bands year eight has begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Was going to ask what is “talking xxx,” but realized it’s “talking turkey.”. Good one.
I didn’t know what 29 Down was, but now I do. Nice puzzle, Brendan, thank you.
Tough one… made me a little cross.
Can you explain? I still don’t get it. Also…what is issues a technical. I’ve googled it to death. I’m not a sports person. That’s as close as I can get. I guessed tees up but can’t connect the clue with the answer.
I liked it a lot. Can anyone explain 29 down to me. I don’t know whatever expression it is
Oh, and a technical foul in basketball is given when players say something they shouldn’t or get too mad at the ref. The ref makes a T sign with his two hands. So it s called tees up
A turkey is three strikes in a row in bowling. So, three X in a row!
In bowling, three strikes in a row is called a “turkey.” But I still don’t get 29 down.
I’m terrified looking up some of these answers at work
I think 29 down is the phrase “outrage pornography”, but I’m not sure – it’s not a phrase I was familiar with before a lot of googling.
“Outrage porn … is any type of media or narrative that is designed to use outrage to provoke strong emotional reactions for the purpose of expanding audiences, whether traditional television, radio, or print media, or in social media with increased web traffic and online attention. The term outrage porn was coined in 2009 by political cartoonist and essayist Tim Kreider of The New York Times.”
