Those that know me best know that if a seed answer like [ANSWER FROM TODAY’S PUZZLE REDACTED] is brought to my attention, then it’s going to be miiiighty hard for me not to include it. Indeed. Sometimes, I have to write a completely ridiculous clue in order for it to make said seed answer work. Phew. For whatever it’s worth got a nice bit of trivia in the symmetrically placed answer in the grid.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
