FIR in 47:17 min.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Cornerites.
Thank you Seth Bisen-Hersh for this enjoyable Monday CW.
Thank you Boomer for your excellent review.
Ðave
I failed to get the theme without the reveal. These link word themes often escape me, dang it,
ReplyDeleteJason has a far go,
ERGO, the Argo!
An expensive EAU de Cologne
May require a EURO loan!
Many brawls or ADOS
Somebody could defuse.
It's not alright
To start a fight
Instead of saying ADIEU!
ANITA and ADIA were siblings and sisters,
And both were hunting for choice misters.
One looked for wherewithal,
The other wished him tall.
Now they're spinsters as each one missed hers!
{C, B-, B+, B+.}
We start the week and autumn with the first published puzzle for a very happy SETH who said on Instagram: "It's my first published crossword puzzle!!!!! He may have rewritten some of the clues, but he kept a lot, and man, does this puzzle look like I created it!" I think this may be our SethCOMEDY CLUB. I find it fascinating that the puzzle starts with a CSO to BOOMER.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your debut and Boomer, perhaps you and Seth can go on the road together.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteHooray, a Wite-Out-free day. Didn't notice the theme until I went looking for it after finishing. Excellent debut, Seth, and fun tour, Boomer.
EDIE -- I remember her Muriel cigar commercials on the ERNIE Kovacs show. I wonder if the Ernie/Edie juxtaposition was done on purpose.
MEL Tormé -- He made frequent appearances on Night Court. Harry Anderson was an avid fan.
DOUBLE INDEMNITY -- Reminds me that I'm letting my dental insurance lapse at the end of the month. For the past few years the premium has remained constant, but the deductible has gone up and the maximum annual benefit has gone down. It's no longer worth it.
BLIND TRUST -- That could have made things so much simpler.
I don't think I even had to skip over a clue today - just filled 'em in as I read 'em. Took 4:10. Didn't see the theme until afterwards.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the constructor on his initial public offering.
FIR, but, like Boomer, I liked "media" before PRESS. I also had to erase one of my favorite authors - ISsAC Asimov. Bad spelars of the world, UNTIE!
ReplyDeleteThere is an ABBA museum? Can't wait until the Lil Kim museum opens.
But the best item of the day was Boomer's ET AL explanation of the abbreviation: Et Cetera. Funnier than a Yosemite Sam cartoon!
Thanks and welcome to Seth. My favorite clue/answer was "ceremonial shoulder-to-hip band" for SASH. Got me going down the "fife and drum" bunny hole. And thanks to Boomer for another halarious review. DNK that "Pearls" had an animated version.
Back in the saddle today after a fun four days in Mobile, AL and starting with a Boomer CSO with a bowling clue! Quick, but creative Monday outing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Boomer and congrats Seth!
Happy the Cards are back in the playoffs!
Good Morning:
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun Monday, easy peasy but a well-hidden and clever theme. No stumbles but I never hear of Nerds as a candy, probably because I don't buy any candy. I liked the names stack in the NE corner of: Mary
Edie
Tina
Nice CSO to Boomer at Split.
Thanks, Seth, for an enjoyable solve and congrats on your debut and thanks, Boomer, for the non-stop humor and resulting chuckles. You are really, really (Hi, Sally Fields) in fine fettle this morning. Happy striking!
Jinx, Andy Williams was also a favorite of mine, in addition to John Gary, who had a truly beautiful voice, but, sadly, never made it really big. (A lot of people never heard of him, despite his having a TV show for a short time.)
FLN
CED, I have a Smart TV, also, which came with the Netflix option. As I said, that message may only occur due to some glitch in my connection.
Have to rush as I have a medical appointment.
Have a great day.
Good morning.
ReplyDeleteNice debut, Seth. Congratulations !
Boomer, it's early in the season. The splits will go away. I've found that throwing more strikes helps.
Agreed. Many teams and players are setting home run and extra base hit records this year. Perhaps MLB should increase the height of the mound to compensate ?
Good morning everyone.
ReplyDeleteCSO tp Boomer at SPLIT. Also a very fine resort area on the Dalmatian Coast.
The SW was just a tad gritty, but it mostly was easy. FIR. I liked the theme but did not utilize it in the solve.
A modicum of French today: TETE, EAU, ADIEU.
FALL came in @ 0350 EDT.
Good job Seth; keep 'em comin'.
Good morning, folks. Thank you, Seth Bisen-Hersh, for a fine puzzle. Thank you, Boomer, for a fine review.
ReplyDeletePuzzle was easy peasy. Finished in 15 minutes. That is like a record for me. I am usually not that fast.
Caught the theme after I got 54A. Worked out.
Did not know NELLY. Perps.
Remember Edie Adams well from the Ernie Kovacs show. Someone else said that too. I also remember the Kapusta Kid from that show. Of course Muriel Coronellas. I wonder if there are reruns of that show. Probably not.
If this is Seth's first puzzle, congratulations!
See you tomorrow, folks.

Rinks. I once went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out.
ReplyDeleteIt still drives me crazy! Why can't they figure out that if they would hire taller ballerinas they wouldn't have to dance on their toes.
Congrats, Seth. Nice fill. Easy Monday. With the reveal I quickly found the dates.
ReplyDeleteI loved the walk down memory lane with the singers.
Mel Torme Listen
Andy Williams Listen
We had BOSS in the Sunday puzzle. Today is The Boss's birthday. Bruce Springsteen is 70 today. Proud of our Jersey singer.
Musings
ReplyDelete-A classic film noir I’ve seen on TCM many times
-My first date with my wife of 52 years was a DOUBLE DATE on Friday March 13. 1964
-Walking our cat on a LEASH draws stares
-Enjoying Wisky beating Michigan and Harbaugh is tempered by the fact that the Huskers have to play the Badgers too
-One Omaha station ran OATERS every Sunday morning. The bad guys always wore black hats and wound up dead or in jail
-Ubers have no METER. There is an agreed-to price before you even get in
-HR’s and RBI are exciting. Now if they could just reduce all the dead time in a game
-Any STETS in here?
-Wonderfuls adages from DEAR Abby’s twin sister
Marvelous Monday. Thanks for the fun, Seth (congrats on your debut) and Boomer (nice to have a CSO at 1A).
ReplyDeleteThis CW was a quick Monday-level solve, but I couldn't see the theme until the reveal clue (Hi OwenKL ET AL). Lightbulb moment and a smile.
Methinks that Seth might have some legal background with those clues for 23A and 39A! Fortunately the answers were well-known entities.
Unknowns filled by perps included TINA and MAS (forgot my Spanish, but I did get ESTA - French is no problem).
You will be surprised that I have no nit with the spelling of 10D. In this case, METER refers to something that measures usage, and this spelling is correct. (Note that Sir Paul called Lovely Rita a METER maid.) OTOH, when it refers to the measure of distance, it is spelled Metre in British (and Canadian usage). Confusing eh!
Yes, Boomer, RINKS can be for hockey games (indoors or outdoors). We had HOME ICE advantage yesterday.
Off to celebrate the day. IT'S A DATE, DH's birthday (wow YR, he shares with The BOSS!).
Wishing you all a great day.
NELLY Furtado is Canadian, born in Victoria, B.C., got her start recording in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteHoneyJam
I'm afraid my nit with The Star Ledger is turning into a snit...
ReplyDeleteIn addition to dropping the Constructor Name, their inability
to use the correct Fonts is driving me crazy!
42A clue was listed exactly thus:
"AC-mo__
usted?"
Yes, I got the answer thanks to Monday Perps,
but, seriously? WTF?
They have ignored, or played stupid at every request I have made
for sanity, so I am thinking of sending the following letter to the editor:
Dear Editor,
My previous requests for correct Font usage,
and return of the Constructor Name for the daily LATimes Crossword
have fallen on deaf ears.
Which makes me wonder why I continue to subscribe to a paper
that uses Ignorance to communicate with their Subscribers...
(hmm, yes i know, it needs work...)
So, if you can help me draft a better response to this absurdity,
it would be appreciated.
Oh, & a question for Boomer,
ReplyDeleteyou said:
35. Peevish state: SNIT. Tobacco can spelled backwards.
Uh, I am really confused by this...
Anywho,
to the Xword:
I was never very successful with dating, still not sure why...
These are the only dates I ever got...
P.S.
Disclaimer,
The above was for humorous purposes only...
(don't make a nit a snit...)
I loved this Monday puzzle, sailing through it without a single error or erasure--so many, many thanks for this great debut, Seth. Weeks don't start any better than this. It was exciting to get all of the names that came up, with the exception of NELLY. Never heard of NELLY Furtado, but perps took care of that. Still can't believe there is a candy called NERDS, but got the answer without any problem. My favorite clue and answer was/were DEAR for the 'Honey alternative'. Fun Monday review, as always, Boomer--many thanks for that too. And Irish Miss, your mention of Sally Fields cracked me up. So, all in all, a delightful way to start the week.
ReplyDeleteHave a great one, everybody!
Hola!
ReplyDeleteSeth Bisen-Hersh, congratulations on your LAT debut! It's a winner! After the reveal I saw the DATE connections. It's not often that happens with me.
This was quick and clever starting with a nice CSO to Boomer at SPLIT.
All the names, fortunately, are ones I'm familiar with even STU, the Simpson's disco guy whom I know only from CWDs. TINA as clued is not known to me but easily emerged. Lois LANE, MARY, ERNIE, EDIE, TINA, EERO, DAHL, ANITA, Charlotte RAE and even HYDE are ones I know.
ADOBE recalls my hometown, now almost nonexistent, of Concho, AZ, where all the homes were made of ADOBE. One of my earliest memories is of the men in the town uniting when a couple announced their intent to marry and building a home for them. I can still see the framework for the bricks laid out on the ground, the men mixing mud and straw, filling the frames and letting them set to dry then constructing the home.
Jerome:
You are too funny!
Canadian Eh!:
I think you might have been thinking of EAU and ADIEU instead of ESTA which is Spanish.
Thank you, Boomer, for your humorous review!
OwenKL:
You are in good form, too!
Have a glorious day, everyone!
NELLY Furtado does not ring a bell with me, either so she doesn't appear on my list.
ReplyDeleteCED, I have the same nit with the Star Ledger's font. Thank goodness, I was able to suss today's egregious example. I am not sure how. Your letter is good. Perhaps some examples such as "AC-mo__usted?" instead of "¿cómo está usted?" and others would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteCanadian Eh! a very happy birthday to your DH.
YENTL, now there was a movie I liked.
Welcome home, inanehiker.
Newton's First Law: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
All my life, once I got going I could go on and on, in the old days, morning until night. When I stop it takes so much energy to get going again. This stopping to rest all the time is killing my motivation. I now will force myself to get back to cleaning after three stops already. This week I start back to PT. See you at next recess time.
CED, "Tobacco can spelled backwards." -- "can" is a noun.
ReplyDeleteMisty-There is also a candy named AIRHEADS. Anywho, the kids liked them.
ReplyDeleteI always say, I may have been a NERD in HS, but I was never a geek.
CED - SNIT
ReplyDeleteTobacco can spelled backward TINS
I liked this puzzle a lot. Congratulations, Seth Bisen-Hersh, and thank you.
ReplyDeleteBoomer, super write-up. Thank you too.
Only made 2 errors today: (1) I put PERU in position 6 across rather than 2 down, for some reason. (2) I put in MEDIA instead of PRESS.
Can't figure out why the clue for TETE has "head" in quotes.
I have deleted all ADOBE software from my computer.
Rita Moreno did a fabulous job playing ANITA. I don't think she ever played a METER maid.
I bet even if I did wear (different) glasses and combed my hair differently everybody would still recognize me. Odd how that simple "disguise" fooled Lois LANE and her colleagues.
Happy birthday salutes to Bruce Springsteen and to Mr. CanadianEh!
A solid, easy-but-not-too-so pzl for the start of the Fall season. (Happy Vernal Equinox, all!)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the latest edition of Country Music. My "Man in Black," Johnny Cash, got good air time (and I finally discovered my key to hit all the notes in "Folsom Prison Blues").
Happy to see Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag sweep so many Emmys! WooHoo! (Apologies and/or thanks to Misty.)
I thought the candy should be NERTS, but straightened it out in time.

Lucina@12:14 - "Canadian Eh!:I think you might have been thinking of EAU and ADIEU instead of ESTA which is Spanish." - My phrase made perfect sense to me LOL, but when I read it now, I see that it is not what I meant! Let me rephrase: "unknown . . .MAS (forgot my Spanish, but I did get ESTA); French EAU, TETE, ADIEU were no problem)."
ReplyDeleteFor once, it seems I had a Canadian advantage with NELLY. Here is a link to another interesting factoid.

YR & Jayce-DH says thanks for the birthday greeetings!
Fun Monday puzzle. Congrats to Seth on his debut into the big time!
ReplyDeleteDouble Indemnity was a great, classic old black and white movie, the color appropriate for it’s theme. Fred MacMurray was the “villain”. I mostly remember him as the kindly widower on “My Three Sons”, but he did a lot of films before then. Guess he cashed in on his name with the TV series, or his movie roles dried up.
I thought of it as, SNIT spelled backwards is TINS, tobacco cans.
ReplyDeleteBeing a teacher I heard of NERDS candy and Pop Rocks. My own kids never liked any of them.
Alan likes Reese's peanut butter cups, Mounds and York Peppermint patties. And, of course, boardwalk fudge down the shore. These days I encourage him to eat sugar free Lifesavers to avoid prediabetes. It is easier to control his diet at his new home. On a weekend at home near Halloween I will allow one of each of his favorites above.
Square dance tonight. All seasoned members, including me, are urgently needed to angel or mentor our new class members. The more angels the better. After a constantly on-demand hour and a half of class, there is a two hour dance for the initiated. If you dance every dance, that is three and half hours of activity. At the following dance session,I dance every other tip (set), if possible. But, sometimes there are 7 people looking for one more dancer to fill in. Because as president I can't have guests sitting out, I give in and overdo it. It's like declining to being a fourth at bridge if you can play. My marketing motto is, "Single or partnered, new or seasoned, there is always room for you in a square at Lakeland Squares. Our byword is Company First."
I love square dancing. The next day my body, not so much. My square dancing friends are my most cherished social circle, outside my family. Many of us have limits like me, so we are a very understanding bunch.
CED, maybe you should have stuck wit the tried-and-true hole-in-the-bottom-of-the-popcorn-box trick on your movie dates.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm convinced that the print papers don't give a rat's patooey if the print version goes away. The only thing they care about is cost-cutting. In my MBA classes we learned about stars, question marks, cash cows, and dogs. The newspaper business is definitely a dog, and most online versions are question marks. The way you deal with dogs is to cut expenses and avoid investment (no, that's not redundant).
Jayce:
ReplyDeleteWhy no ADOBE? Should we all rid ourselves of it?
YR:
It makes me glad for you to have that lovely circle of friends who, I'm sure are supportive of you and you for them. Everyone should have that and usually it's family but those social groups create a special bond of friendship.
Nits?
ReplyDeleteI have lots of em...
(I try to keep them to myself tho...)
(& since Thumper went out the window...)
Jinx,
the hole in the box thing would not work for me,
as I tend to Hog the Popcorn...
(Oy, this Blog is going downhill fast...)
& snit=tins=tobacco?
I'm sorry, that is way too obscure for me, even backwards...
That's like equating snit with tin star,
(& we all know how that worked out...
(& just to make a bad post worse...)
(am I the only one that gets excited about popcorn?)
Lucina, re: ADOBE software.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it is widely published that Adobe FLASH Player is full of vulnerabilities and is obsolete. Many experts recommend removing (uninstalling) it entirely from your computer. At the very least, disable your web browser from using it. Do not try to view videos that require Adobe Flash to view. Bottom line, it is too easy to get your computer infected by malware.
Second of all, I find I really don't need Adobe PDF Reader. The Edge browser supplied with Windows 10 is quite capable of reading PDF files. Personally, I found Adobe PDF Reader to be a bloated resource hog. And I don't use more than about 10% of its features. If all you want/need to do is read PDF files, as a Windows OR Mac OR iPad user you already can, without Adobe Reader. This is my personal opinion, as opposed to the previous paragraph which summarizes experts' opinions.
Finally, there's Adobe Acrobat, which you probably don't have anyway. It's for those who want/need to edit/modify/manipulate PDF files at a more professional level. Plus, it's not free.
So that's why I said I have deleted all ADOBE software from my computer.
Interesting about the candy, Roy--thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteCED, so that's the rub. As the old saying goes, "to each his own".
ReplyDeleteHi All!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your LAT debut, Seth. Thanks for the fun Monday grid.
Fun expo Boomer. How fun was it to get a CSO at 1a?

Jerome: {meh, LOL!}
Welcome back Inanehiker!
Well done, security-wise, Jayce. I'm still trying to "Get the Flash out" at work.
CED - what YR said. Dippin' tabaccy comes in TINS. TINS is SNIT in reverse.
Not to be confused with The Corner's Tinbeni.
Jinx, CED - It's obvious you both lost The Seinfeld's Contest :-) #Racy
Cheers, -T
Why has no one noted that
ReplyDelete35. Peevish state: SNIT. Tobacco can spelled backwards.
Should be "canS"?
I couldn't locate a newspaper in Ocala. I bought one earlier but forgot it in the other care. So....
ReplyDeleteAfter the ink vs byte discussion I bit the bullet and solved on the cell phone. I won't make a habit of it.
Easy enough Monday. I did get a free USA Today and lo and behold it was a CC Burnikel.
And, it was great as usual.
Enjoyed the write up from Boomer and the posts
