OMRI was a killer. Staring at it in disbelief doubled my solving time. Quite enjoyable! U know U are a crossword nut, when U immediately start tryin to come up with XI- themer candidates … of which there ain't many, btw. Really great TuesPuz.
Shows the weejects some themer respect. Honrable mention to the NW corner. Nice vowel monopoly event. Add me to the list of people who don't get today's mini, even with the profered explanation. Can someone explain it clearly and in detail for those of us who are rebus impaired?
I bet if Bruce's first name had been Paolo he would have received accolades up the kwazoo. This was fun and different. Not sure where I finally got the theme but I had fun during the process.
I love an AHA! Nor does the booty. Didn't make THAT mistake. I had withdrawal when that epic series ended. I'm having the same anxiety as I approach season seven of "Game of Thrones. Loved this Tuesday Mr. Made my Tuesday more fun since today is going to be another f RE: comment Michael Savage needs no plugs Couldn't you have ended the series with a happy one?
OFL generally hates Haight, so he must have swallowed hard before admitting that some of the puzzle was worthy of praise. Nits, of course, were picked. It's been a long time since that TV show was on. I know! Another favorite is "Ozarks. In "Ozarks" they cleverly "wash" the money so it looks used. I mean you can't really go into a Ferrari dealership and plunk down the payment all in cash, can you? RTwhite -- There is no XI- entry.
Simply no word in English that will work. What comes closest is "xiphoids" and what can you do with that? Bruce did the best with what was available! BETE noir was my savior today - seems rather oxymoronic.
Bruce Haight, this is one of my favorite puzzles of yours. I deem it challenging for a Tuesday 4 minutes over my normal average but that's fine with me.
Loren, thanks for your avatar shout-out to the Minnesota NFL team. I wouldn't be at all surprised that you'd come up with few that would work.
Lewis You're right, of course. But, maybe you could construct a puzzle for us egotists. Blogger is playing silly buggers. It sent my avatar and profile back to last winter when there was snow on the ground. We can't trust the machines. Am I really the only one who solved the entire puzzle - entirely from crosses - without sussing the theme? Even after I was done, I stared at it in confusion, somehow completely missing the Roman numeral thing, until reading OFL's writeup.
At least the mini, I could figure out after solving Re: the mini: In this case it's rebus as in "punny puzzle," not rebus as in "multiple letters in one space in a crossword.
Does that help? Clever theme and a fun solve. That's the goal, isn't it? And, on a Tuesday. Come on man! I think I called it praising with faint damning on another occasion involving the same principals. Genesis immunity? Plus, we get a Coleridge shout out. More to like. Nice misdirection!
Tough corner. Liked the puzzle a bunch! Fun and clever with some crunch, or not a typical Tues. Did not think the theme was that hard. Solved it without hints in a half hour. What about the numbers?
Has anyone noticed that if you add them up it equals ? Add fifty one and you get Finally add 6 and you get Is there a important event today happened in ? Ian Newbould I asked the same question about 12 hours ago.
The response was something I knew Since when, though, does the puzzle abide by a style manual? I thought that the should have been used for theme consistency. Isaac Mayo -- I thought it might have been done because of space concerns in the cluing: the other numbers would have been much longer to write out in full well, fifty-one, not so much but Anyway, I agree the inconsistency is kind of odd.
Hips don't lie is a great song, and the title makes perfect sense in the context of the song and the singer. For me, it was a gimme. Overall a great Tuesday. I do the puzzle the old fashioned way, from the print edition, so pardon the late entry here as I just got the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday papers here in Jacksonville, Fl. But sorry. The New York Times has its own style manual.
If you've been reading the comments for a few years you will know I have deep and profound love of Random Roman Numerals, so this is obviously the best Tuesday puzzle ever. Life is still pretty disrupted around here and now I have to head north again for my brother-in-law's funeral. His passing wasn't unexpected, but losing her partner of 54 years is hard on my sister.
I'll probably be dropping in late here for a week or two. Iyaryi driayaryi hotmail. Anyone remember Dippity-DOO? IT'D be hard to pick out a yeah baby other than Shakira in clue 1a. Late to the party, but so was my newspaper I liked this one and I found it easy probably because I solved the theme before I even started.
I did have one mistake. Rex needs to do like me and quickly scan all of the clues before he begins a puzzle.
That way he may find a pattern emerges in the cluing which will oftentimes unlock the theme. This was one of the best Tuesday puzzles in a long time. Yes I do remember Dippity-Doo. Sahra has already made a list complete with boxes to check of the things we are going to do today - with an "M" next to items that are a "Maybe," e.
She seemed to agree, but wasn't ready to give the idea up completely. Hence, "M" for Maybe. But first I'm supposed to convert a bookmark-sized calendar into a full-sized, wall-hanging calendar by scanning it into my computer, blowing up the images of the individual months, printing them out, and then stapling them together. The fact that we have no fewer than three wall calendars hanging in the house already means nothing to Sahra. Allow me to share with you the birthday card she made for my dad "Pappy" this morning: I'm told that's a cake on a table being shared by my dad and stepmom.
Hope my dad doesn't mind that you all now know how old he is. Hot Fill 35A: Hotter than hot torrid - this fill is literally hot. Hotter than hot.
Do I really want to contemplate abortions and barfing over my morning eggs and ham or whatever it is you people eat? Still, as fill, goes, eeeeexcellent. Oh, and I also liked There was very little that was new to me in this puzzle.
It does stand for that, in another context, but as far as this clue is concerned, it stands for the Amateur Athletic Union. I want to thank Ken Jennings for his awesome beatdown of rude know-it-alls at his blog a couple months back - first, because it was a great and necessary piece of writing, and second, because the bit of trivia he discussed in that posting was the history of the name of O'HARE airport, making 44A: Orchard Field, today a virtual gimme for me. Burns, shopping in a supermarket for the first time in his life.
Standing in the condiments aisle, he holds two bottles, and, in agonizing over which one to buy, repeatedly reads their labels out loud, slowly: "Ketchup Save And Share :. I was totally lost on this one -- even after I peeked at the theme. Can't believe no comments all day. Wanted to say Happy Birthday Doctor Dad -- wherever you are! That Simpsons scene had me cracking up when I first saw it. Ah, Simpsons. There was a lukewarm mouthful in the third cup of tea when I finished this this morning.
Leopold was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation.

Constructor: Mark Diehl Relative difficulty: Easy except for Constructor: Michael Schlossberg Relative difficulty: Easy. Hi, everyone, it's Clare — this time for the first Tuesday of the month! Now that the football season is over nice win, Chiefs , it's time for some baseball! Just 50 days until Opening Day. And even fewer days until the preseason, when a guy in one of my law school classes will almost certainly pull up every Mets game again, full screen on his laptop right in front of me.
I do worry that my Giants will suck again this year, especially without MadBum, but at least no one can accuse them of cheating! Constructor: Ross Trudeau Relative difficulty: Mediumish untimed, clipboard solve.
