She called it off to marry the prince. The handsome, suave, talented Cassini was always philandering. And, no, he wasn't gay. <br /><br />@Jimmie - thanx for info.<br /><br />@Anaon 10:56 - This is John's blog. As Sid Caesar said, "He has his own show - on my show." <br /><br />@Whitney - I'm sorry.

There are only 14 possible calendar combinations, 2 for each day of the week a year starts, the first being leap, the other non-leap. Once you get one of each, you never have to buy another! Within that, if there's a Fri 13th in Jan., Feb. or Sept. you must have another that year.Sfinginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-81834810913549466352009-11-13T19:01:12.044-08:002009-11-13T19:01:12.044-08:00@Sfingi, By jove, I think you've got it!@Sfingi, By jove, I think you've got it!ddbmcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-22144871838327782162009-11-13T18:45:38.572-08:002009-11-13T18:45:38.572-08:00i'm w tinbeni-cluing struck me as mixed bag of...i'm w tinbeni-cluing struck me as mixed bag of very clever and awfully obtuse.

I'm sure most of you do too. That's why I used to skip the Mon.-Wed. puzzles. But ever since I started blogging, I've returned to those easy early-week puzzles, just to be apart of the blog-society. Then I found out that the LAT was not always consistent with that gradient system thoughout the week. On some of those "too easy" puzzles I would tear off all the down clues and solve them with just the across clues. But wait, it ceases to be a CROSSword puzzle... it is now merely a quiz, and that's no fun. Had enough of those in my college days. I often think that a great adjunct to this blog would be the provision of another set of alternate (harder) clues for the same grid. It sure would spice up the blogs and comments. I've noticed that some of you more creative types like to offer a "better" clue. Anyone willing to undertake doing that for a complete puzzle?<br /><br />Just a hare-brained JNH-thought.JOHNSNEVERHOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447455788629988277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-26644527755639378862009-11-13T09:50:57.811-08:002009-11-13T09:50:57.811-08:00Paraskevidekatriaphobia for the third time this ye...Paraskevidekatriaphobia for the third time this year !!!!<br /><br />IMHO today's cluing was a mixed bag between very cleaver or totally obtuse.<br /><br />Got it done in my normal time, one cup of coffee (in the Smoking section) but ...<br />42A SSN saved me from the Banana PEEL, so I gave in and put SKIN.<br />Like @ddbmc I had the GER in the NE corner first which led me to the theme.

Sounds like a breakfast product. (No need to answer, I google-ated). I too fell into the grand old "peel" versus "skin" debate, and lost. Much tougher than the "zest" versus "pith" debate. (Please note I was channeling Sfingi there!).<br /><br />The ESO/ESA (Spanish "this") and the Spanish/Italian UNO/UNA (One) are tough little vocabs because you have to rely on crosses to know if it's masc. or fem. In the real world, it's more likely to be O than A, but I suspect that in puzzledom A may be more common than O. Anyone? <br /><br />Maybe the UN~ and ES~ dilemma was already covered in CW101. Have read most of those pages but not all. Great resource. You host-bloggers should read it in on YouTube, like the Electric Company videos in the 70s! Just a thought! Maybe they will extend the GRAMMY categories to include that under the 'Spoken Word.' category. We can say "Hey, we KNOW those people." Kinda cool, eh?<br /><br />I'm pretty much an average solver, so I enjoyed the theme, but understand Rex's beefs, too. I always wonder which parts of any given puzzle (clues and/or fill) are changed by the editor. (I "know" the general answer, but not the specifics.<br />"Crashing bore" is a great descriptive clue.
