Ummmm Tom _ _uise. Too bad we couldn't have had the video of the fat Cruise dancing at the end of Tropic of Thunder. Didn't know he could be that funny.<br /><br />I thought the cluing for this puzzle was quite good.

Part of the chorus went like this:<br /><br />"Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby<br /> Well, Honeycomb, be my own<br />Got a hank o'hair and a piece o'bone<br />And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb<br />..."<br /><br />I could not remember the lyrics exactly so I googled the song title and followed a link to <br /><br /><br /><br />to refresh my memory. I seem to remember my folks having a 45 RPM record of this song. I played the record over and over and drove everyone crazy by singing the chorus endlessly as little kid.Ed Ellessonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-31466647851026154042011-05-31T09:10:06.477-07:002011-05-31T09:10:06.477-07:00I put in HEADS OF HAIR which I though was awkward,...I put in HEADS OF HAIR which I though was awkward, I had to use every crossing to get back to HANKS since it read so awkward.
