Greetings!
Thanks to Neville and mb!
Enjoyable puzzle!
Didn't know DOLAN or HIRO. Otherwise OK.
Have a great day!
Earworm time: a poetic IAMB from Neil Diamond.
{B-, B, C+, B.}
Mary, they said, had a little lamb
Who grew up to become the Great I Am
If I made some JOKES
I'd offend some folks,
So I'll just stick to writing a great IAMB!
EMILIO thought that his life was a BORE,
So he sent his dog to fetch, as a chore.
The dog returned
With freezer burns --
Was scolded, "I didn't mean that kind of HOAR!"
ALAN liked a PRACTICAL JOKE as a gag,
But his wife was a cold and dour drag!
Whatever he'd tease
She met with a freeze,
Her perfect ICON was a chill ICE BAG!
The kids at school all got a shock:
ELLIE's MAGIC wand had gone off!
Spewing hexes in throes
Like a loose garden hose!
IT'S bad to go mock, when a baton goes AMOK!
Morning, all!
A bit sticky here and there, but not too bad. Didn't know ELLIE, DOLAN or TIMOR, but the perps took care of them (eventually) and the rest was pretty straightforward. Saw "Big Hero 6" in the theater and have it on DVD, so HIRO was a gimme.
Good morning!
Didn't get the OLDE, MEAN jokes. Some things never change. Not too fond of INURN, but enjoyed the outing. Thanx, Neville.
HIRO was an unknown -- seemed to be missing his HITO.
Melissa, I had not heard that story about Agatha Christie. Velly intellesting.
I liked today's puzzle. Plenty of unknowns, but perps cleared up everything except the cross of TIMOR and JOANMIRO. Even that was an easy guess. Other unknowns: ELLIE, MAUS, DOLAN, HIRO and INURN. Only erasure was mcafee for NORTON.
Thanks, Neville, for the Tuesday teachable moments.
Can you spot who is hiding in the top left corner of the grid?
I enjoyed this one. HIRO, ELLIE, and DOLAN needed perps and wags. A perp or two jogged my memory for JOAN and TIMOR. The puzzle was not that difficult but it took more time than it usually does on a Tuesday.
Interesting info on WICKER, Melissa. I thought it was a material. I have wicker furniture in my sun room which I love.
I pictured a line of CABS idling while waiting for pickups at the airport.
Alan finished his third round of antibiotics for pneumonia this Saturday. While taking them he feels almost normal, but lacking in energy, so we were able to take all our trips, but had to dial back on the activities. Since Sunday, after only one day off the meds, he feels terrible again. We had an X-ray yesterday and have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. It seems we have not ID'ed the exact microbe involved. Never a dull moment.
IM, I hope your nightmares have stopped. Bill G, how is your wife coming along?
Greetings to all!
An enjoyable puzzle today. Ken and Daria DOLAN and ELLIE Kemper were complete unknowns. Both filled by perps. HIRO in the SW was also unknown, but I never read the clue until checking the expo as I had completed that area with only across clues. Thanks, Melissa, for the informative write-up and many interesting links.
Enjoy the day!
Record time finish. But I admit I had one letter wrong; the intersection of 23A and 6D. I didn't know Riga and spelled Jacques last name Chiroc.
Technical question: I have to log in each day that I post a comment. At one time it used to maintain my login. Can someone advise how to stay logged in? I always comment from my iPhone, BTW.

Morning,
Thanks to Neville for the challenge and Melissa for the explanations.
Lots of perp assistance required today. CHIRAC, MAUS, BASS CLEF, & JOAN MIRO the leading culprits.
53A, a shout out to little old me. Like Melissa, 4D was a favorite.
I think of DIRTY POOL as an unfavorable act, like Deflate Gate, to gain an advantage. Unsportsmanlike behavior to me would be cursing, ranting, acting like an ass or mocking someone during an event.
If I really want Casey to join me, instead of COME, in a raised voice I tell him to "get your butt over here". He's my 7th collie and leads the pack in many (bad) categories. But, like his predecessors, he is loved by all.
After a summer of H H &H, the cool fall air is certainly welcomed by this aging senior. AC is nice to have, but I'm tired of cool air blowing on me.
Learned that JOAN MIRO was a male. That made me look up Jean Arp. Also a male. Never heard of either until I started doing crosswords a few years ago.
Jerome, Neville.
Good morning everyone.
Another easy one. Liked the theme. Mostly a top-to-bottom solve. No searches or white-out needed.
TIMOR - Yesterday we had Bligh who navigated to Timor and safety after the Bounty mutiny.
MAUS - Hi, PK. Remember, good quality NYS cheddar.
MIRO - First saw his work at the Albright-Knox gallery in Buffalo, 50 years ago.
ROAN - Always liked that word.
"Puzzling thoughts":
How 'bout them Steelers?! MNF at 7:00 pm starting time? I'm good with that!
My print version - in the newspaper - completed in blue ink pen - no write-overs or ink blots!! I did the "downs" first, and then the "acrosses". Whenever 1a is not a gimme, I usually SKIP around.
Nothing special about the puzzle today; I thought the theme was "meh", but then I realized, Mr Fogerty probably spent quite awhile creating this, and certainly has a talent that I cannot match ... kudos
As one who studied German in HS and college, MAUS was "bestimmt". And 34a could've been clued with a German descriptor
Needed ESP to get HIRO for 51d; LOL at desper-otto comment about missing the HITO 😃
Owen, your first one today was the winner
Some grammarians here might criticize my limerick today as I used the "adjective meaning" as a noun ...
After entering through the back door
(And in hopes of his finding "amour")
The "John" got a surprise
As he focused his eyes
On his grey-haired bed partner ... the HOAR
Hello Puzzlers -
What Spitz said. Plus a hand up for What TTP Said - if it weren't for crosswords, I'd never have known that Jean and Joan were dudes.
Have you noticed the current Google doodle? It's in celebration of another crossword legend, Yma Sumac.
Morning, Husker, the Air NZ video led to others...
MBee, loved the Christie mystery! That will lead to more reading.
Oops! Amendment to prior post: I meant to suggest Husker has a point, The Breakfast Club doesn't seem to need a remake.
The Air New Zealand video was from another source. Worth a look! It's a fresh look at the dull preflight safety video.
Melissa: Good Job on the write-up.
Neville: Thank You for a FUN Tuesday puzzle. Enjoyed the JOKES theme.
Needed ESP to get ELLIE, HIRO and JOAN MIRO.
Never get that Wintry coasting, HOAR, here in Tarpon Springs.
Fave today was 4-d clues/answer "Acts like Elizabeth Taylor?" DIVORCES.
Cheers!
I love a good (or bad) joke. This was a good Tuesday level puzzle by Neville and Melissa's review was spot on.
I agree with most everyone on the level of difficulty (or easiness) of today's puzzle. Perps filled in the proper names that I didn't know. And I had to chuckle at Away WE GO and how Jackie Gleason would say it.
Today's puzzle sent me off looking for some funny joke T-Shirts. My son loves T-Shirts with a certain level of shock value so he always has one on that some find objectionable. Sarcasm is his favorite subject.
I hope everyone has a great day today.
Anonymous-T, yest 8:18.
Absolutely loved that cake! A Perfect fractured flicker for Steve!
Sorry for missing the party lately, it is my busy time of year.
Between vacations, and camping every weekend during Sept/Oct,
I have been so busy I cannot even open that time sink they call Facebook,
& only glance quickly at YouTube.
But I (do do?) the puzzle every day. I just do not get to
the Blog until a day or 2 later.
What has put me over the edge time wise is that they just started another
3 month bout of "Storm of War," a harrowing game of attrition where I fly
a Hawker Hurricane with a group of chaps from all over the world. We are in constant radio
communication via Teamspeak. We recreate the WWII Battle of Britain flying against
a lot of very good European pilots, & it is very taxing.
I maybe called at any moment to fly as wingman with our squadron to defend against a German bomber raid. (to fly alone is to die, the opposing pilots are that good!)
If we get 3 kills without dying, we graduate to Spitfires. 20 kills will get you
a Spitfire Mark II! Unfortunately dying is semi-permanent because if you lose a plane
you have to ferry another one from the factory to home base.(if one is available,attrition, remember?)
When we did this 6 months ago,someone blabbed (or spied) & the Germans discovered
our home base & bombed it into oblivion while we were sleeping.
Sorry to prattle on about this, but it is great fun & comradery.
If you are interested, here is more detail (1/2 hour video)
Thanks for the write-up, Melissa, and thanks to everyone who's commented so far. I always enjoy reading about what you liked and what you didn't.
I was very excited that HIRO made the editorial cut; we don't see much new 4-letter fill in puzzles, and I do love "Big Hero 6." INURN, on the other hand, is my least favorite thing about this puzzle. Sorry about that, everyone. As I recall, it was a necessity to make JOAN MIRO fit. Another favorite was the clue for DIVORCES and the matching clue for CLEO.
As an aside, thanks to C.C. and crew for the list of newspapers that syndicate the LA Times puzzle. I recently moved to Newport News, VA, so I picked up a copy of The Virginian-Pilot this morning. (I'd guess I'm not too far from Jinx!)
Cheers,
Neville
Thank you for dropping by, Neville.
About those painters, sorta gives new meaning to, "You hang around, baby
With Jean and Joan and a-who knows who."
Thank you for the light workout, Neville, and for your comments. Constructor posts are always appreciated.
The puzzle was a speed run except for ELLIE who? Thank you, Melissa, for the information. I can't say I ever heard of that show.
It's surprising that JOAN MIRO is still unknown considering how often his name appears in puzzles, usually singly either first or last name. JOAN is the Galician version of JUAN and is pronounced HO-AN.
It always saddens me to see celebrities' DIVORCES referred to in a joking manner. No matter who one is, it has to be a painful time whether once or many times and being in that glass house has to be doubly painful.
Thank you, Neville and Melissa!
Have a splendid day, everyone!
Another fun puzzle. Kudos to Neville, Rich and Melissa.
For "Acts like Elizabeth Taylor," I had some letters filled in like DIVO ????. I was sure it was asking for something to do with DIVA... Ya got me Neville.
OLIO...
Melissa, didn't you used to post using all lower-case letters? I've got to tell you how much more I like your present style. Thanks from me.
Barbara got a connection installed in her chest area for the delivery of chemo. I'm sure that won't be any picnic for her (us) but at least the sword of Damocles is not hanging so tentatively. We are doing OK for now...
Speaking of jokes in the puzzle, I have a long time childhood friend from Virginia. The last time I saw him years ago, he started to tell a joke I could tell was going to be mildly racist. I was torn between saying something (politely) or biting my tongue, both uncomfortable options from my viewpoint.
I had a teacher friend who used to enjoy telling the occasional dirty joke. The problem was, his jokes were never funny, just dirty. Being filthy seemed to be their only raison-d'etre. It got to be so uncomfortable for me that when he began his introduction to a joke, I would try to find a polite reason to excuse myself.
Hi Everyone:
A fun theme and an easy and enjoyable solve. Only unknown was Hiro but perps solved that little hiccup.
Thanks, Neville, for a Tuesday treat and for dropping by the Corner and thanks, MelissaB, for the informative expo.
YR, I seem to be over the unpleasant dreams, thanks. Best wishes for some resolution with Alan's roller-coaster health issues.
Have a great day.
Melissa B - thanks for the terrific recap. Although Christie was one of my favorite authors (still love British murder mysteries), I have never read of her disappearance. At first, I thought she was leaving clues, setting up the police to track her down, as she did in some of her books' plots.
Miro is one of my favorite abstract artists - I had a poster of one his paintings in the bedroom long ago.
Anon-T, re Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" - enjoyed the clip. I was never into new wave, and I think I was in my CW/pool-playing stage during that time. And how weird is this? "Weird Science" (1985) is being shown on the BBC channel tonight. Per Wiki: The title song was written and performed by American new wave band Oingo Boingo.
Enjoyed this puzzle. Didn't know several of the proper names; got 'em from perps. Knew JOAN MIRO right away; a former business colleague of mine owned one of his paintings that he looked forward to substantially increasing in value after the artist died. I don't know if it ever did, but it was involved in a lawsuit between him and me.
Extremely interesting story about Agatha Christie; thanks for linking to it, Melissa.
Best wishes to you all.
TTP- I can't help but think Neville saw that considering how much time a constructor spends looking over and reworking their fill.
I really thought I had nailed this one, but sadly had one tiny and dumb goof--TREE (I knew that had to be wrong) instead of TREY because I figured the down was BASE CLEF. I guess I'm not good at either Spanish or music. But, hey, I got everything else--so Yay! And many thanks, Neville, not only for the fun puzzle with its great jokes, but also for stopping by. And great pics and expos, Melissa. I too enjoyed the Agatha Christie story.
Never heard of HIRO but thought its answer to a "Hero" clue was a hoot. Loved the Liz Taylor clues, although it's probably true that celebrity divorces are just as sad as other divorces. (Well, if I remember it right, did she marry and divorce Richard Burton twice?)
Any suggestions on how to combat insomnia (besides counting sheep)?
Have a great Tuesday, everybody!
OK, I have a few minutes rest after making 2 bombing runs on the
German held airport at Caffiers. Grid BB20 if interested.
(I can't mention my home base in England, it's a secret..:)
Hmm, speech jokes. Reminds me of the time I 1st tried to post on this Blog...
May I share a joke with you?
Are you sure you don't want a dirty joke?
Hmm, Jerome, hidden names in the NW Corner, Alan, Ollie, Cleo???
Belated Happy Birthday Gary!
Steve, I believe Anonymous-T has you covered...
An easy, peasy puzzle today! My only mistake was 57d: stay/COME.
It sometimes surprises me how a clue/answer brings back memories. My dad's parents had 2 looms and wove many things. I remember watching them work when we'd visit. Mom had them WEAVE at least 5 pairs of drapes for our house in the 1960's and I'm happy to have the master bedroom drapes in my master bedroom.
Thanks for the puzzle, Neville, and for stopping by. I forgot to look at the theme so thanks for the explanation and the write-up Melissa.
Have a pleasant rest of your Tuesday!
Hi All!
Well, this was SCADS of fun... From the get-go we get a Clecho to CLEO and her Acting(?). Thanks Neville for the puzzle and the inside-baseball.
Fun expo Melissa B! Thanks for taking the time 'splainin' WTH 14a was.
WOs: veins b/f LODEs and Euro for Dollar competitor. 27a was the MAGIC tonic to fix that mess.
ESP: Names save EMILIO & CHIRAC [though he did take a few perps to come to mind] + IAMB (I'm not at your level Melissa).
Hated RUNNING ERRANDS - just 'cuz I don't doing 'em :-). But some days, Away WE GO! Like oc4 - that was my fav. DIRTY POOL was close runner up [think The Hustler and we have another sub-theme :-)]
{B, A-, C, B-} {B+}
HG - I'm old-school and prefer the CLI (command line interface) esp. when I have a real shell (like bash or csh). Windows is getting there...
2. For all that is good, no! Breakfast Club was perfect the way it was. Wait 'till I die.
3. IN URN me too - let the kids fight over who doesn't get me on the mantel :-)
TXMs - I'm not surprised you missed 'em. Most folks don't know - I was just a huge fan of Weird Science (the movie) 'cuz I thought, at 13, maybe I could create a supermodel... Turns out I didn't need to - DW tolerates me :-)
Bill G - Good(ish) to hear about you & Barbara... Was your DIRTY-JOKin' colleague Andrew Dice CLAY? [trust me, don't Google]
Neville - My bro is headed to Newport News in a week (yet another transfer - he's Army) - from your pic I thought maybe you are .mil too?
CED - LOL your definition of "busy."
[OK, I'm just jealous...]
Play later, -T
Hi Y'all! Fun puzzle, Neville! Thanks, Melissa!
Failed to get the theme, because I was doing downs, perped in JOKES and never read the clue.
Got TIMOR but didn't know it was an island until today. CWs sure broaden one's knowledge base.
Didn't know ELLIE, CHIRAC, DOLAN, NORTON, HIRO. Thank you red-letter re-directs.
RObot before ROVER. Knew better.
I knew of Agatha's disappearance. Took her secret of where she was then to the grave, didn't she?
AnonT: Thanks for the ABBA concert last night. Helped soothe my MAUS anxiety. MAUS has been eating DeCon but either it has lost strength in the year it has been in place or I have more than one MAUS. Got peanut butter yesterday for two traps. No catch yet. Don't know what NYS Cheddar is, Spitz. New York State?
INURN sounds good to me. More sanitary.
Prayers for Bill & Barbara. Being the caregiver is so hard.
Hollywood ran out of imagination and new ideas so remakes old hits I didn't watch the first time.
Thanks for the excellent earworm, Husker Gary! I must admit that NO, NO, NO made me think of this huge hit single (in the UK, anyway - I don't know about the US) by Amy Winehouse. It's sad that it turned out to be prescient.
WEES about DOLAN, winced at INURN, and I got stuck trying to fit Baymax in the four spaces for HIRO.
I seem to be missing all the themes these days. I didn't notice today's, based on JOKES, and I didn't catch on to yesterday's either - until reading the blog. In neither case did it hinder my solving time, but maybe I would have picked up a couple of minutes if I'd paid more attention.
Count me in with those who balked at IN URN. What is it? A verb, based on INURE? A location (as a game "preserve?"), separated as IN URN. I know some dictionaries offer it, as a verb; still it feels like a neologism, but not a clever one.
PK - Yes, New York State. Vermont is good, too. Probably not sold in your area. Good luck with attracting the little dickenses.
Good evening everyone!
Neville - wonderful puzzle with enough "classic" crosswordese and current stuff mixed just perfectly. Got the theme and the only hang up was the A in RIGA/CHIRAC. One small nit though: ROAN is a color and CHESTNUT is a color, but they are not the same. Horse-y people get angry with small things like this, but I am not one so it's OK!
Nice write-up Melissa! I also was hung up on SODA or COLA until I realized both RC and Pepsi both have COLA in their names - so I keyed it in and hoped for the best!
@OWEN: the second one is A+ from me :)
@Argent - thanks for linking Amy Winehouse! Unfortunately, I found the bandwagon too late. She had an amazing voice and I could listen to her for ages. Wish she was still around.
Here's the classic LONESOME song.
@Anon-T - I am still a huge Boingo fan and I had a really hard time choosing just one song but here it is the favorite for today. Don't ask me about tomorrow. It'll likely be this one or this one.
Enough distractions...homework beckons...
t.
I did not notice that you could make my name from letters in the NW corner; that was unintentional!
Anonymous T - no, I'm not in the military, but there is certainly a large uniformed presence out here! I teach at one of the schools here.
Deep in the archives: Elvis singing, "No,No,No,No, No, No...Hearts of Stone".
Great to see you back Neville.
three years go quickly
Tawnya - Now TX Ms knows there's two of us :-) Enjoyed Boingo links.
The only other thing to add is MAUS, a graphic novel DW studied. I was incensed she got to read Comics in her doctoral program while I was was toiling in the computer lab. The JOKE was on me...
If you get a chance to read MAUS, and are ready for heavy, take it. The author was detailing dealing w/ his Holocaust-surviving father and, I think, it's the only "comic" w/ a Pulitzer. But, like I said, heavy.
Neville - Inquiring minds... What do you teach at what level?
Cheers, -T
Shoot - I forgot the new pix I read about yesterday that ROVER shot and JPL shared this week. -T
Anon-T - Probably past your bed-time ... re your answer to Tawnya - Three Dog Night came to mind: "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do; two can be as bad as one..." Sorry - don't mean to offend -I just can't remember the rest of the lyrics. I had never heard of Oingo Boingo until yesterday. Yes, those Mars rocks do rock! Geo-cornerites, anyone? I found them amazing!
TX Ms - It is quite-past but I've been trying to figure out why I'm getting inconsistent results in a query. I know I've muck'd something up but I can't figure out what bit I SKIP'd- same damn query just over a different time period [same point-in-time shows two results depending on # of weeks back; WTF-factor-weird]. Your diversion, while this new Q ran, made me find this version of , ONE and finally made me sleepy :-) Thx.
Time to turn in and try again [RETRY?] tomorrow after class.
Cheers, -T
Jerome: I'm there boggle style

N O.
Fabulous blog. Ironic juxtaposition of Amy W and Hank W. I go to lots of McDonald's around Tampa bay and some play country which I can barely stand and most play that God awful top 40.
SNL had a sickenly skit about Liz Taylor eating that turned me off of SNL forever.
And I tried to fit in MARRIAGES.
What I said about country doesn't apply to Hank W. I was in CABG5 rehab and I played HW to lighten the natural depression and the hospital top jerk threw us out.
I finished Wed So I'll hop over there.
I can't get names straight so thx everyone, especially Neville and the limricists
