Good morning, C.C. et.al. -
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - this one was pretty easy except for the little box at the intersection of 20A & 7D. It'd still be blank if not for Senor Google. Never heard of either. Won't remember either tomorrow.
Hope it's an outstanding weekend for everyone.
Oh, and thanks for the phobia list, C.C. - I've discovered I have Ankylophobia...
ReplyDeleteGetting better. 6 minutes.
ReplyDeleteOtto Hahn, Fritz Strassman, and Lise Meitner were the scientists who discovered nuclear fission in uranium way back when. C.C. I am impressed with your decoding of unnilpentium. That is how the transuranic elements obtained from neutron bombardment, etc. are named until they decide on who or what they will name them after.
Remember awhile back I said I had done a puzzle with the symbols for clubs, hearts, etc.? I guess the editor/author read our comments.
Absolutely no googling today and a record time since I've been keeping track.
Good morning gang! I pretty much aced this one too except for the same ones you didn't get CC. I didn't know the Russian pianist or 7D. Didn't know 41D, deep bows, but I got most of it with the other clues. I love the bag too CC, we need to get another occupation if we want the bag and the watch!
ReplyDeleteHi to Kim who is new on the site. I love it here too. CC is the best! And so is the rest of the gang. Smart and funny!
Have a good day everyone.
PS, Kim, don't you think I am handsome? LOL
ReplyDeletebauxite - an important source of aluminum.
ReplyDeleteA few Greeks here today, Hermes, rho, Pandora.
Correct me if I'm wrong but a ship only has one tiller so ships' would be correct to get the plural.
Reata, riata.
Was there a fear of crosswords in that list? I didn't have time to check it.
Here you go Lois!! The link is
here so you can see that it is "NO PANTS DAY!!!!" Yeah, my kind of holiday
Dennis,
ReplyDeleteRE: Anklophobia, you are kidding, aren't you? Or you just got it after listening to Jane Birkin's breathy song?
Drdad,
D'accord! Some constructors do pop in occasionally. Not sure about Williams though. Yes, I do remember your comments, very clearly. 6 minutes is a new record, isn't it? NO, there is no Crosswordphobia, but fear of knowledge (Gnosiophobia) is on the list.
Katherine,
Yes, you are very handsome, and you sure can sing! That HERMÈS Birkin bag has a 2-year waiting list. The HERMÈS Black Croc Birkin is beautiful too. Perfect for an OMEGA diamond watch. We just need to work out a plan of HOW.
Never mind! If I'd read all of C.C.'s post I wouldn't have asked about 7d.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I get ahead of myself.
CC, ,maybe I can get Nicole to buy them for us!
ReplyDeleteGood morning CC and company,
ReplyDeleteI thought it would a hard one, but not so much. Not too big a fan of using the clue "purpose" twice (12D and 39D). Does anyone remember watching that show "Hee Haw"? :o)
CC - 48A should be "fAmilial" so that 45D will be "dAs".
dr dad - you would be correct re: the plural, thus making ships' grammatically correct in the clue.
Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend all!
My first post went astray. Oh well, such is cyberspace.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, did well today except for the same "N" that threw a lot of us. Never heard of either one and had asked for an explanation of 7d before I had read all the comments. Hence the second post that was the first post.......... Oh, H***, now I'm confused!!!
My paper had 35a clued as plural and was a gimme for me. ( I wonder why??
Later....
Good morning CC, et al. My kind of puzzle w/the music, cards, and Va's Ashe as well. I loved the links, CC. You do such a good job and today's were absolutely outstanding! I was actually thinking that this would be a pretty tame puzzle until I got to those links and then I lost it! HELLO!!!! Birken? OH YEAH! and then followed shortly..or longly...by that 'morel' mushroom link? Plus today being 'no pants' day? "mayday! mayday! mayday!'...sounds better with a Polish accent though.
ReplyDeleteI love this day! I love this month! Lucky thing I still have my bib!
Have a fine day! It's gorgeous here and lookin' finer every replay ...I mean every minute.
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteFinally I had a good day today if not for the Russians & 7D! I too won't remember it tomorrow!
To katherine, YES! He is a hottie! I wonder what that hunk sees in Nicole, I don't think she's attractive, too pasty looking, but I'm critical!
Have a great day all!
Ayup, pretty straightforward except for the crossing letter N between Hahnium and Scriabin. Although I also had a momentary glitch when I put "Hee" instead of "Hem" as the partner of "Haw" (you're not alone, MKatEsq!).
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, I live in Massachusetts and I've noticed that the answer for the clue "Mass cape" is invariably "Ann". Never "Cod," which is actually the more well known cape here in Massachusetts. In fact, I suspect that many residents of Massachusetts have never heard of Cape Ann.
barry,
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason, When I see a clue that involves "hem/haw" I always think of "Hee Haw". So, I figured I'd just see who remembered that show. :o)
Bill,
ReplyDeleteRE: BANJOS. My mistake. I misread. Got distracted by the HERMÈS & the MOREL!
Lois,
"Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins". It cannot get any HOTTER!!!
Almost an Ace... but alas a one googler to get the N in Hahnium and Scriabin...I guessed and R for that... nuts...I must have Scriabinaphobia or perhaps Hahniumaphobia... I will never remember these. I nice puzzle though.
ReplyDeleteC.C... Thank you for explaining yesterday's difference between "Quip" and "Quote"... Amazing... one learns something everyday.... now... can I remember it :):):):)
ReplyDeleteI am known to be a day late and a dollar short, so I would like to comment about yesterday. The puzzle deserves no comment. I had a tee time and my mind was focused on golf and not crosswords, (However I did use a few cross words on the course). But I remember the Budweiser Clydesdales coming to the Minnesota State Fair 10 or 12 years ago. They are awesome animals. My favorite was one named Randy - who was standing head in in his stall, with a name plaque overhead. So my view was this huge horse's hind end with the name "Randy" labeled at the top of the stall. What a photo op!!! The print made a nice addition on the desk of my co-worker Randy N. but it didn't last there long. I suppose he wanted to take it home and display it for his family. I also recall game 5 of the 1987 World Series. Before the game at Busch Stadium, The 1930's beer wagon, pulled by 10 or 12 Clydesdales, circled the field several times while the organist played the Budweiser song. Augie Busch, a 90 year old man of small stature, rode in front by the driver, swinging his arms and legs ans waving to the crowd. A sight I'll never forget.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is THE DERBY. Big Brown sounds like it could pull a wagon for UPS. There are no horses in the field with baseball oriented names like Steal a Base, or Extra Inning. I've often wondered why many racetracks are called "Downs". Tomorrow's biggie is at Churchill Downs. It will be Simulcast locally here at Canterbury Downs. If I owned a track, I would name it Upsand Downs, since that describes my bankroll when I go to the track, (mostly downs). So after a great deal of research and hairpuling thought, my prediction this year is "Colonel John". Don't bet the rent, but remember you heard it first right here on the 100 day old crossword corner. Have a good weekend everyone.
Good morning everyone. Overslept this am so I got a late start. Nearly aced this one but had the same problems as the rest of you with the intersection of 17A and 7D. Dennis I think all of us on this site must have the fear of Agateophobia based on the comments I see posted. Lois are you moral when you look at the morel?
ReplyDeleteHAHNIUM is not the legit name according tothis and this. Info on SCRIABIN.
ReplyDeleteDick, I think you're right about the phobia; I'm surprised Lois didnt' pick up on it.
ReplyDelete"Moral with the morel" -- great line. And you know the answer...
Yep I'm afraid we all know the answer.
ReplyDeleteNYTanonimo,
ReplyDeleteRE: Element 105.
I've read your links. And you are right, HAHNIUM is not Element 105 any more, though unnilpentum is literally Latin for 105. I've changed the entry to reflect your input. Thank you!
Feeling somewhat louche, I spent a few wild moments looking for my loupe (hope we don't have any galliophobes here) this am once again glowering overlong at our worn-out welcomed friend "rho"--why not pi for lunch or blast us with a few gamma rays! Hermes could provide us with some beautiful echarpes having already given his name to my own field of study (hermeneutics) as well as indirectly to Wotan's Day. Ah well, Fridays are always a breeze on the freeways so I shall slip a Scriabine CD into the navigation slot and wonder if I'll ever be able to play those preludes.
ReplyDeleteGrace a Dieu, May Day proved not to elicit calls of mayday this year in MacArthur Park, no cakes left out in the rain, so onward rapidomente to Cinqo--how will you all be celebrating, xword homies?
Drdad,
ReplyDeleteCan you still call unnilpentium as Element No 105?
Like CC and Dennis I got the entire puzzle except the infamous N crossing. I think ships' tillers is correct because ship tillers would imply that a ship could have multiple tillers. Agreed that I didn't like purpose appearing twice as a clue. Also didn't like the triple appearance of "ear" in 15A (ear), 5A (shear), 48D (fears). I'm guessing that Bill got 35A pretty quickly ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend everyone!
Six Minutes? If you stood there and read the clues and answers, it would take me longer than 6 minutes just to fill in the letters.:)
ReplyDeleteBoomer: Cute story about Randy. I feel 'randy' around those horses esp when they have the wagon attached. My eldest is at the Ky Derby as we speak...w/ some of my money...so, I'll pass along the Col. John tip. Thanks. Hope it's a winner!
ReplyDeleteDick & Dennis: As far as phobias go, I enjoy my form of insanity too much to be afraid of it. I certainly don't have androphobia or any-related-partsphobia. Morals? What morals? I don't think any righteous person can use morel and moral in the same sentence and keep a clean thought. What a mushroom!!!!
CC: Je vais et je viens; je vais et je viens; je vais et je viens...etc.
Der Katze,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again. 6-minute is probably a par for pros like Dennis (soon for Drdad as well). Tyler Hinman once broke a 2-minute limit for a NY Times Monday puzzle.
According to IUPAC (Internationl Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), once an element has been given a formal name, it is improper to call it by the "Un" name. The "Un" name is only used for elements that have been discovered but not yet formally named for a person, place, or thing or for elements that are suspected but not yet produced by neutron bombardment, proton bombardment, etc. (usually in particle accelerators, particle colliders, or cyclotrons). The author/editor of this puzzle would have to use the incorrect "Unnilpentium" name if he didn't want to use "Element 105" as the clue. As an aside, Glen Seaborg (for whom #106 Seaborgium is named) disputed the Russian claim of discovering the element because they misread the nuclear decay pattern. If his claim is valid, the Dubna group didn't discover the element and it should not be called Dubnium.
ReplyDeleteScotchaphobia - is that the fear of not having Blackie or Red nearby? Mmmmmm scotch...I think I'll start the weekend early! Hope everyone has a great weekend and don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo too much. Mmmmm tequila...
ReplyDeleteDer Katze
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the time thing. Even if I knew the answer to every clue, I could'nt write them in that fast.
27a and 7d==found the "n" in "World Book" and "Schuss" in "Webster's"
Finished the puzzle, but not in record time.
We sit here with our hearts aching at the loss of our ovines, listening to Scriabin.
ReplyDeleteDid you know we had a burro?
ok, anon 11:15, I'll bite. Where is the burro?
ReplyDeleteand i pine for lupines...speaking of burros--how about a small one i.e. burrito!
ReplyDeleteHe was our family pet, very well-behaved. His name was Pesci, which reminds us, Happy Cinco De Mayo!
ReplyDeletePesci was run over by, ironically enough, a Tostitos delivery van.
He was an important part of our familial group.
Good morning everyone! C.C., thank you for the education that came with 7D. With the video link and then the morel picture, I think we'll lose Lois again today, if she's not still watching the skating video. I didn't care for "purpose" being used twice as a clue either. 31A has to be plural for the S in HELMS, right? Drdad, although I've been in Portland for going on 40 years, I've never heard of NO PANTS DAY. We do have a local bumper sticker, though, that might help explain the phenomenon "KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD." Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMh,
ReplyDeleteRE: EAR. Should we also include the EAR in "HEARTACHE"? I enjoyed reading your Wagoner report. Thank you!
Thomas,
How is HERMES related to Wotan's Day? I don't get it.
Drdad,
Thanks for the explanation. Very helpful.
Crockett1947,
Re: INCOME/OUTGO
I don't know. I only want the clue to be "Expenditure" instead of "Expenditures".
it's pretty hard for us west coasters to come up with anything original to say .. but i enjoy reading everyone's $.02.
ReplyDeletei confess i googled a clue or two, and haw-ed instead of hem-ed. but i refuse to time myself .. why rush a good thing? anything i can do in five minutes probably isn't worth doing. maybe we should have a contest for who can take the longest ..?
thomas, being a PK (preacher's kid) has exposed me to the joys of hermeneutics (snort). what is your application for such?
the PK baggage may have brought about moralphobia, and syngenesophobia (fear of relatives), but definitely not morelphobia, or oenophobia (fear of wines). hic.
now i'm hungry. which reminds me .. lois what did you have for breakfast?
-bee
Milissa Bee
ReplyDeleteI think I can consider myself a winner. If any of you do the puzzle under an hour, I win.
hi c.c./ Wotan=Wednes and Hermes=Mercury
ReplyDeletebee--definitely not a PK here...hermeneutics in the interpretation of lit/ archetypal symbology/ Jung etc etc
have a great rest of the day
Melissa: Usually, I have nails but lately for breakfast I'm having some coffee and eye-candy...(one hot video-viewing)and as of today chased with some morel. What about you?
ReplyDeletelois: nails, eh? for me it's whatever i can cram in while getting ready for my day and nagging the teenaged 'children' to do same.
ReplyDeletebut now it's the weekend .. here's hoping we both get nailed. on ice.
on the online version 34D is "Mr. Preminger" so I finally go MOE with the across words but couldn;t figure out who was Moe Preminger - Mr Preminger would be "OTTO" of course you had the correct clue which was "Top Stooge" I'm glad I checked out your blog because Moe Preminger made no sense. Hey have you seen the latest Moe Preminger film?
ReplyDeleteTT
TT,
ReplyDeleteWhat Moe Preminger movie?
I also solved the online puzzle on Friday (it rained hard here, our paper guy was late). 34D baffled me also. Did not realize the paper version had a different clue until Dennis told me.
