Good morning Cornies.
Thank you Mr.Matt McKinley for this extremely difficult Sunday CW. When I saw C.C.'s review the answers looked so simple, and yet I had quite a time completing it. I did FIR.
Thank you C.C. for your excellent review.

23 A Squee-worthy: TOTES ADORBS
I had never heard of these expressions. I watched a rerun of the last show of SNL for 2018. In the starting skit I heard SQUEE.
Ðave
A straight forward Sunday with some new stuff for me. Thank you Matt McKinley and C.C., but first...
The pictures you posted of Xiao Pan have me confused, as in the first one with all the preparations, she looks younger and her hair is darker. I wish them a Happy life but my March wedding did not last. Anyway, I knew nothing of REBECCA LOWE as I only watch World Cup Football every four years. I do like the name of her show, The Lowe Down. You need to read about JULIA WARD HOWE who not only was a suffragette but she wrote the words to the BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC . Marti used her clued with the Battle Hymn in a puzzle published in 2013 LAT. Coincidentally, today's NEWSDAY PUZZLE has HOWE as fill as well.
Speaking of coincidences Dave 2, I am sure you have seen/heard squee before, but did not retain because you had no frame of reference. It is an example of The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. Cool stuff, the human brain.
REHEAR and SQUALLED were glue, but overall a fun time.
Happy St. Pat's all.
Good morning!
Kinda hard to miss the theme on this one, but I needed perps in several areas. Nothing was too obscure. Is IDEE FIXE "in the language" so it doesn't need a French indicator? Did not know that MATTHEW is sometimes referred to as Levi. One of the many, many things I don't know about the Bible. I did remember ELUL and SHUL, two of the few, few things I know about Judaism. Thanx, Matt "Levi?" and C.C.
TANNER: Name of my nextdoor neighbor.
DC TEN: Looked like the tail was smoking a cigar. Doors kept falling off, and the public lost confidence in it.
ESPRIT: Reminded me of this song: Yuppies In The Sky by Peter Paul and Mary. Esprit is mentioned at 1:08.
Good Morning, C.C., and friends. Fun and timely Sunday puzzle. In keeping with the Green theme, however, I was looking for a clue/answer with Envy.
As Lemonade noted, Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 ~ Oct. 17, 1910) is probably best known for writing The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
We just saw Hamilton. Alas, LIN Manuel Miranda did not play the lead, the musical was still fabulous. I was not disappointed.
Common terms for a Synagogue.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that the Grand Champion Steer at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo sold for $410,000 in 2018. The 2019 rodeo has wrapped up, and the new Grand Champion Steer, Hank, fetched $625,000. Inflation is alive and well in SE Texas.
Good morning. Thank you Matt McKinley and thank you C.C.
This puzzle was totes adorbs!!! *
Favorite clues were:
- Contentious shoulder piece?: CHIP.
- Break-in sound?: AHEM.
Did not know HOWE,LOWE. Can you limbo ?
WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling speaks of squalls moving in from the west or northwest from time to time to time. Light snow with perhaps 1 to 2 inches, south of I-80 predicted this AM.
C.C., I think that's the nursery rhyme.
The Evanston Wildkits played valiantly but lost to Belleville West in the 85d End-of-season games: PLAYOFFS for the 4A state championship. Madame DeFarge was most certainly rooting for Evanston.
D-O, probably just as much ego as inflation in that crowd.
* It had to be done after all the bellyaching yesterday. You knew Dash - T was going to do it !
I had a totally different Sunday puzzle? (Getting Ahead) by Ed Sessa Hmmmm
Never happened before! Out of Wisconsin
Thank you C.C. and Matt, I had never heard of "nom" as clued, but guessed right on the Spartans. "Nom de plume" would have made that section easier for me, but I enjoyed the challenge.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Good Morning:
A fitting and fun theme for St. Paddy's Day. Because of the obviousness of the Green definitions, the solve was on the easy side. My only unknowns were Novo and Elul and my only w/os were Ballet/Esprit and Saw Fit/Lawful. Usually on Sunday, I stumble over a preponderance of proper names. I noticed the trio of Howe/Lowe/Bowe and the self-referenced Matthew. Seeing (Alex) Trebek was bittersweet. Imp is becoming a regular entry and is a CSO to Spitz's moniker and to CED's antics and Jinx's hi-jinks! Mice was slow in coming because I read Rock climbing trio instead of Clock climbing trio.
Thanks, Matthew, for an enjoyable and satisfying solve and thanks, CC, for your expert views and commentary. Thanks, also, for sharing Carmen's family pictures, especially Xian Pan's bridal photo; she looked quite stunning.
I'm going to my sister's for our St. Pat's celebration, along with 45 other family members. She is cooking 12 corned beef briskets and Lord only knows how many pounds of potatoes, cabbage, carrots, etc. I've told this story before but maybe some newer Cornerites haven't heard it. This same sister is married to a first-generation Lebanese man. Many years ago, one of their daughters was asked by a nun on St. Patrick's Day what nationally she was and her reply, in all seriousness, was "I'm half Lebanese and half Leprechaun!"

PK, glad to hear your absence was not health-related. Do you have to take a vision test, as well as a written test? Have you had your eyes checked recently?
HG and Avg Joe, I hope you're safe and sound. The pictures on the news were terrifying and heartbreaking.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to all! ☘☘☘
Thank you, Matt McKinley and C.C.! I see Matt got MATTHEW in there. Clever.
This was a long slog which took me an inordinate length of time. Matt twisted some clues that required fresh thinking which is not a bad thing.
I left a few blank cells where sports was involved, didn't know NYM/MET, BOWE, SCRUMS and SURFACE just wouldn't.
Otherwise the GREEN theme was appropriate for today.
SEXT is also the Latin word for sixth and one of the hours which monks and some NUNs pray daily.
Happy SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, everyone!
Nationality. Darn autocorrect!

-It’s amazing how so many answers today remind me of what is underwater today
-We are safe and dry as we are a mile north of the Platte. The only death has been one First Responder who tried to rescue people who had refused an evacuation order

"Paddy is derived from the Irish, Pádraig, hence those mysterious, emerald double-Ds," writes Campbell on his site. "Patty is the diminutive of Patricia, or a burger, and just not something you call a fella. There's not a sinner in Ireland that would call a Patrick, 'Patty.'”
IT’S PADDY, NOT PATTY. EVER.
SAINT PATRICK’S DAY? GRAND.

ST. PAT’S? IF YE MUST.
ST. PATTY? NO, YE GOAT!

I finished this timely puzzle... finally! But found some of the clues awkward.
Clock climbing trio seems to confuse Three Blind Mice with Hickory Dickory Dock. Only one mouse “ran up the clock” and the 3 blind mice just ran away from the farmers wife. No clock involved. (Never challenge a pre-school teacher over nursery rhymes! LOL)
My other nit is Sailing maneuver against the wind. A TACK is a maneuver through the wind not really against it. I guess that’s what he meant but it seemed awkward. A Beat is sailing into the wind, still not quite the same thing. That was my first guess.
Matt, thanks for the St Paddy’s Day fun!
C.C. loved the expo, as always,
Anon @ 1:44, thanks for the timely lesson!!
The variation that turns the clock climber in the nursery rhyme into a trio goes,
"Hickory dickory dock, three mice ran up the clock;
The clock struck one, and the other two escaped with minor injuries."
The "terrible year" is TWO. TWOS are terrible YEARS. And, anyway, a 2-year-old is in his third year. So maybe the terrible year is THREE.
SCAN is a scanner function, not a "printer function." Some printers have scanners embeded, but the "printer function" is to PRINT.
I remember hearing the mouse rhyme reconfigured to: "Hickory Dickory Dock. Three Mice ran up the clock. The clock struck one......and the other two got away with minor injuries."
Glad to hear you're still safe and dry HG. Facebook has a lot of pictures of Fremont, and it looks as though half is under water.
Good morning everyone.
Happy St. Patricks Day
Did it on-line since our paper carries the WEEK-old NYT. Not so hard and included a theme for the day. Thanks for the CSO.
PAUL - BH and I were privileged to attend an audience with Pope Paul VI in 1965. He smiled a lot and interacted sincerely and charismatically when the various groups were introduced.
MICE - Hickory dickory dock; the MICE ran up the clock …… etc.
One of those juicy English nouns which use the Germanic trait of vowel change to form the plural mouse, MICE.
German Maus, Mäuse; L. German Muus, Müüs.
Got Howe, by eliminating Bowe and Lowe
Fun puzzle, with unique answers to the GREEN theme. Also lots of sports clues, which I like.
My Vermont Catamounts won their conference championship yesterday. Will find out today at 6:00 who and where they play in the Big Dance.
Hickory, Dickory, Dare, a mouse ran up my chair ...
Sorry, Avg Joe, I was composing while you were posting, and didn't mean to duplicate your 'run up the clock' comment.
Wiki gives this rhyme:
The most common modern version is:
Hickory, dickory, dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.
Just an timely fyi...
The Yale Bulldogs are battling the Harvard Crimson right now for the right to play in March Madness tourney that starts later this week.
It is halftime and the Elis are up 43 to 42 at the Ivy League championship in New Haven, Connecticut. The winners will dance a jig with a shot of Jameson perhaps. The losers may drown their sorrows with a dirge and a pint of the Guiness.
Timely clue for this rivalry lives on.
Fun St. Patrick's Day puzzle--many thanks, Jim. I got big chunks all over before I needed help, and found the GREEN answers, when they appeared, a lot of fun. Nice to see sweet Alex TREBEK in the puzzle, and I was happy to remember Julia Ward HOWE from my early feminist days. Also remembered the Beatles' WALRUS. "Contentious shoulder piece" was a pretty clever clue for CHIP. Never heard of NTSB and still don't understand what that is, and also never heard of SEXT--but, hey, I'm a senior and safe from those kinds of messages. And, of course, having the puzzle end with COLOR FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY was a perfect way to finish up today.
Always enjoy your Sunday write-up, C.C. and lovely pictures of your friend and her family.
Have a great St. Patrick's Day, everybody! What an irony that I grew up a German- speaking Austrian who ended up a scholar on an Irish writer. Go figure. Thank you, James Joyce.
This puzzle took a big chunk out of my morning. Thank you to Matt McKinley for showing me what I didn’t know. Thank you CC for the expo.
CED: Re the Chicago site not loading on your IPad. I haven’t been able to use that site for over a week now.
MICE: When we replaced our thermostat with one accessible by our smart phones, a Google Mini came with it. I was reading the directions for connecting it with the five year old granddaughter looking on. She is obsessed with SIRI but cannot access it on her mother’s phone since it is programmed for only her mother’s voice. When we had the Google ready she wanted to see what it did. Trying to think of something suitable for her, I asked it to play ‘Three Blind Mice.” Part way into the song my husband yells “Google, Stop!” I am hearing impaired and could not hear that we had a very adult version of that nursery rhyme. Our granddaughter has been instructed to ask for children’s songs and we now have closer supervision.
Will Irish eyes be smiling for Holywood native Rory McIlroy? That's Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland btw! His bio shows he attended St. Patrick's Primary School. Will that and the luck 'o the Irish be too much for Jon Rahm or Mick Fleetwood to overcome. I'll be rooting for Americans Dustin or old man Furyk to make an epic comeback. Tiger's balls must be dirty as he continues to rinse them.
Speaking of dirty. I'm not having much success finding that adult version of three blind mice. There are alot of adult Halloween costumes for the trio however.
A rather stretchy puzzle today. Very discussion-inducing. Several of the clues and answers felt overly forced. I really liked the CHIP, TWOS, CUFFS, HUSH, NORDIC, TREBEK, and AHEM clues. Agree about TACK and BEAT and about SCAN vs PRINT. To me, only one mouse ran up that clock; later "variations" of that nursery rhyme cite three mice.
Husker Gary mentioned "The only death has been one First Responder who tried to rescue people who had refused an evacuation order." I get really incensed to read that those damn refuse-to-evacuate people cost others so much in life and property. Totally selfish.
Good wishes to you all.

FNL - Good to see you AveJoe! Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are.
Funny, TTP, real funny.... :-)
I don't think we really have to worry about the OED picking up TOTES ADORBS. It's abriv-speak like AB FAB (the '90s) and will be forgotten soon enough. Groovy? //that's mine OMK
D4 - I was looking forward to a new SNL but watched the Squee-worthy Cold Open anyway.
Eldest got in last night and Youngest had a party to attend in Bellaire (for those that don't know Houston, Bellaire is one of those 'cities' with/ the City and 1/2 way to downtown from here) so we were near all the restaurants I know. Eldest and I passed the time at the nerd-store (MicroCenter - Pi-0w for $3.99!) and then over plates of Pad Thai. It's nice to have her back [and her back helped weed the garden this morning! - Tomatoes go in Thursday].
Jayce - I agree. Refuse to leave means you've eschewed the warning and the rest of us, at that point, have no obligation to them.*
C.C. - I think it's Three Blind Mice:
Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
It's "tune" is also used to introduce The Three Stooges and three Canadian Rockers/Jokers used it to introduce themselves at Show of Hands.
Oh, and Re: Alex Trebek - I'm afraid The odds get even... [RUSH w/ lyrics]. I wish him well.
Maripro - think of Cookie Monster at NOM.
Oh, Today's puzzle... Looks like a lot of "Green Paint" from here :-)

*Reminds me of the old joke of the guy who wouldn't leave...
As the waters rose, a truck came for him - He waved it off
Higher waters required a boat which came to help.
"No Thanks! God will save me!"
Finally he was on the roof as the helicopter circled...
"God will save me! I have faith"
He dies, goes to Heaven, and sees God
"Why didn't you save me Lord?"
God replied, "My Child, I sent you a Truck, a Boat, and a Helicopter..."

Happy St. Patrick's Day and a GREEN themed CW. Thanks for the fun, Matt and C.C.
I had to work to complete this one (along with some Google and red letter help).
I had Damp before DANK, Hunter before TANNER.
I had to use perps for ELUL and SHUL.
I was misdirected by "blew big-time" and was thinking of "messed up". Oh a gale!
Unknowns included BOWE AND LOWE, but I knew HOWE. (Smiled as I typed this)
Our menu today for the cook to PREP included HOTDOG, AHI and STEW with a MALt. (Lovely photos of the wedding prep C.C.)
AVOWAL today (can we ever have an Averal?)
We have tickets for a performance this summer of CYRANO de Bergerac at the Shaw Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
This CW was eerily prescient to current events with TREBEK and synagogue:SHUL. We had a DC TEN instead of a Max8.
I'll return later to read your posts.
I have a printer that SCANS as well as prints. What is the dispute?
C.C., being in a rush this morning I failed to tell you how much I liked those pictures of your friend. And the ritual of prayer is reminiscent of the book I just read, The Paper Wife. She performs those prayer rites before all important functions. Your pictures bring that book to life for me. It's a lovely book if you are ever inclined to read a good novel with a Chinese theme.
My corned beef is now in the crock pot and the table is set. We're not Irish, of course, but I like getting into the spirit of it.
Irish Miss:
I love that story! I met a Lebanese woman many years ago and when I saw her wedding picture was awed by her beauty which was inherited by her daughters as well.
Canadian Bianca Andreescu has won her first WTA title at Indian Wells. She is only 18 years old and was a Wild Card.
Congratulations!
We had corned beef Rueben sandwiches for dinner today, our favorite St.Parick' s Day treat. I plan a repeat later in the week.
My most widely loved crock pot recipe is vegetable beef barley soup. It makes a huge amount, great to freeze some to enjoy later.
It is big success at potlucks.
CEh, yes congratulations to Bianca, but I must admit I was pulling for Angelique and feel a bit sad as well. It was definitely a competitive match.
Thanks Sandyanon. Yes it was quite the match.
Bianca is the first Canadian to win a WTA Premier event.
Amazing how she has moved up from #152 at the start of the year to #60 at the start of Indian Wells. She will be #24 tomorrow.
And Dominic won!
Greetings!
Thanks to Matt and C.C.
Tough ones were: BOWE, OHIO, NOM, LOWE, NATALE, ELUL, DC-TEN, MSU, EHOW and LIN.
Harder than usual.
Not getting anywhere in rehab.
See you tomorrow, I hope.
Keep Strong Fermat, with love, -T
