And it crossed a very weird EDU clue ( 13D: Northwestern follower) (I wanted -ERS) and a very badly clued IDIOTIC (11D: Half-baked).
I don't really know what an IODIDE is, so there's that. Who has ever called the drain in their sink a "sink hole"? Pfft. I've got angry green circles around the whole PTRAPS / PAC / ASAMI area, largely because ASAMI is the worst and PTRAPS has a really tortured clue on it (tortured in an attempt at misdirection-the worst kind of torture) ( 58A: They're found beneath sink holes). Strike One? Ball Three? I dunno, the baseball metaphor falls apart at his point.įill-wise, there were rough spots for sure. Twice the Type Of Puzzle I Don't Really Care For! But at least the theme was not just a drop-a-letter now, so, points for complexity, and. Double your wackiness letter-drop / letter-add fun.
I thought they'd merely been dropped, but no, they just got "stolen" by adjacent answers. But then I (finally) got to the second part of the theme-that is, the answers that actually "stole" the "U"s. Anyway, this puzzle forced me to think about "The Bachelor," so Strike Two. It's weird to me that " CAN I STEAL YOU FOR A SECOND?" is a catchphrase since it's just. Like, I know there is a "Rose Ceremony" (I think), and that is all I know-except for all the relationship clichés and fake "love" baloney. This is gonna be a long solve." And then things got kinda worse when I got to the revealer, since I don't find anything interesting or even remotely charming about "The Bachelor" (which members of my family have made me watch on various summer vacations), and don't give a damn about any of its rituals. looked at the title of the puzzle, and thought, "That's it? We're just dropping 'U's? Oh, man.
