The show’s been around for 46 years?! Wow, I’m old. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good BLASTER at your side, kid.” Plenty of fun entries all over the grid like DIRTBAG, TUSKEGEE, OPOSSUMS, STRATEGO, MAL DE MER (which I only learned recently from WSJ crosswords), GONDOLA, BLASTER, HECTIC, and SNOPES. Well done!Īnd the fill is on par with the theme. Fun entries and imaginative cluing make for a great pairing. I really enjoyed this with all the wordplay going on at multiple levels. Aww, this one doesn’t work quite as well since “spoiled food” isn’t as much an in-the-language phrase as the others. Is there ever a situation where you would use BIG CHEESE to actually refer to some cheese? This place claims they can sell mammoth wheels weighing as much as 12,000 lbs.

Theme answers consist of familiar food-item phrases that we don’t generally use to refer to food. Hoang-Kim Vu & Jessica Zetzman’s Wall Street Journal crossword, “This Wasn’t My Order!”-Jim P’s review (Note: As I said “Psst” and “Pssst” out loud, my cat Luma hopped up and started kneading me.) It seems like it’s always PSST in grids, though. There can be as many Ss in the sound as you want. This bothers me for reasons I can’t quite define. Neet…er, neat! In “I can’t believe this crap still happens in the 21st century” news, last decade Veet was criticized for a “Don’t risk dudeness” ad campaign where a female actor in different situations like hailing a cab or getting a pedicure, upon admitting to body hair or stubble in different areas, was replaced by a hairy male actor in the same clothing. The calcium hydroxide causes swelling of the hair follicle and removes a proton from the thioglycolate, and then the thioglycolate’s now free sulfur atom breaks down the hair’s disulfide bonds, dissolving it. The active ingredients in Veet are calcium hydroxide and potassium thioglycolate. Some European countries marketed the product as Veet from the start, but it was Neet in North America until 2002. In this Cartoon Network show, comedian Joe Pera discusses run-of-the-mill things like reading church announcements, watching internet videos, and second fridges. Hello lovelies! This week’s Jonesin’ theme involves replacing a W in common words and phrases with SQU.
